Abstract

The aim of this Individual Project was to study the microscopic phenomena of deformation in mantle minerals by means of atomistic modeling. Understanding such mechanisms and determining their relative importance in different minerals and in the wide range of pressure and temperature found in the mantle, is a prerequisite for any interpretation of deformation experiments, of texture modeling, and of their geophysical implications. The project was approved for funding in mid 2006, and was carried out in large part in collaboration with a postdoctoral fellow funded by CNR (Luigi Giacomazzi), whose fellowship ended on December 15, 2009.
