Transformation Processes in Minerals [PDF ebook] 

Volume 39 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry about Transformation Processes in Minerals summarises the current state of the art. The selection of transformation processes covered here is by no means comprehensive, but represents a coherent view of some of the most important processes which occur specifically in minerals.

Contents:
Rigid unit modes in framework structures
Strain and elasticity at structural phase transitions in minerals
Mesoscopic twin patterns in ferroelastic and co-elastic minerals
High-pressure structural phase transitions
Order-disorder phase transitions
Phase transformations induced by solid solution
Magnetic transitions in minerals
NMR spectroscopy of phase transitions in minerals
Insights into phase transformations from Mössbauer spectroscopy
Hard mode spectroscopy of phase transitions
Synchrotron studies of phase transformations
Radiation-induced amorphization
