Decaying shock studies of phase transitions in MgOSiO2 systems: implications for the Super-Earths interiors

R. M. Bolis, G. Morard, T. Vinci +15

We report an experimental study of the phase diagrams of periclase (MgO), enstatite (MgSiO3) and forsterite (Mg2SiO4) at high pressures. We investigated with laser driven decaying…
