Formation of the high pressure jeffbenite phase from glass at ambient pressure

Abstract Jeffbenite is a magnesium aluminosilicate phase (nominally Mg3Al2Si3O12) found naturally in close association with diamonds. It has been synthesized at pressures as low as 6.5 GPa. We report here the synthesis of crystalline jeffbenite solid solutions at ambient pressure, through the contro...
