Microscopic to Macroscopic : : Atomic Environments to Mineral Thermodynamics / / ed. by Susan Kieffer, Alexandra Navrotsky.

Volume 14 of Reviews in Mineralogy covers a short course about the relations among the microscopic structure of minerals and their macroscopic thermodynamic properties. Understanding the micro-to-macro relations provides a rigorous theoretical foundation for formulation of energy relations. With suc...
