H quantification and location in wadsleyite


We synthesized hydrous wadsleyite of different compositions in a Multi-Anvil Press and studied the crystal chemistry, structure and H incorporation by various methods. We also determined a mineral-specific IR-absorption coefficient for Mg-endmember wadsleyite.
