European Journal of Mineralogy, 1998, V 10, N 4.

On the occasion of the 17th General Meeting of the International Mineralogical

Association (August 9-14, 1998) in Toronto (Canada), the European Journal of

M.A. Carpenter, E.K.H. Salje, A. Graeme-Barber (p. 621-691)

Spontaneous strain as a determinant of thermodynamic properties for phase transitions

in minerals

M.A. Carpenter, E.K.H. Salje (p. 693-812)
