Thermodynamics and solid state phase transformations minerals
Phase transformations in minerals (including displacive transformations, order-disorder transformations, and
exsolution), with particular reference to the evolution of the microstructure, as studied by transmission electron
microscopy (incorporated in the Interdisciplinary Centre for Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis) as well as
the characterization of structural changes by diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Computational methods
and statistical thermodynamic modelling are being used to determine the thermodynamic properties of solid
solutions with different degrees of short and long range order. Application of spin models and the calculation
of phase diagrams in aluminosilicate systems is part of the special research area (Schwerpunkt Programme)
