30% discount for members of The Mineralogical Society of Britain and IrelandThis volume addresses the fundamental factors that underlie our understanding of mineral behaviour and crystal chemistry - a timely topic given current advances in research into the complex behaviour of solids and supercomputing.
The stability of minerals: an introduction.- Bond topology, bond valence and structure stability.- Electronic paradoxes in the structures of minerals.- Lattice vibration and mineral stability.- Thermodynamics of phase transitions in minerals: a macroscopic approach.- The stability of modulated structures.- Thermochemistry of tetrahedrite-tennantite fahlores.- Thermodynamic data for minerals: a critical assessment.- The stability of clays.
