CRYSTAL CHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSES OF SOME COMMON ROCK-FORMING MINERALS: SPINEL, KALSILITE, CLINOPYROXENE AND OLIVINE

Natural and synthetic common-rock forming minerals were examined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and electron microprobe (EMP) analyses. The influences of common defect features, such as inclusions in spinel and oxygen positional disorder and twinning in kalsilite, were reported on the...
