DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP / SHORT COURSE
Oxide
and Silicate Solutions of Geological Importance
Silicate structures are characterized
by their ability to form solid solutions stable over wide ranges of pressure
and temperature. Within the Earth Sciences, a key area of research is in
the investigation of the thermodynamic and physical properties of such
solid-solutions. A good physical description and, more importantly, an
understanding of the solid solution process for many important rock-forming
silicates is not at hand.
New methods (e.g.spectroscopies)
do, however, permit the characterization of local microscopic properties
bearing on the solid-solution process. In addition, developments in computation
sciences (e.g. static lattice energy and quantum mechanical calculations)
allow simulation experiments at the atomistic level and the energetics
behind the solid solution process to be examined.
This workshop/short course will
review and analyze the microscopic and macroscopic properties of silicate
and oxide solid solutions and explore new methodologies bearing on their
formation, stability and energetics. An emphasis will be placed on understanding
how the microscopic properties influence or control the macroscopic properties
and the energetic effects associated with the solid solution process.

LOCATION
The
Workshop will be held at the Mövenpick Hotel, in Lübeck,
Germany. It is located close to the famous Holsten Tor. The city
of Lübeck is a well-known Hansa City. Information on the city can
be found under the home page: http://www.deutschland-tourismus.de/d/dest_cities_luebeck_d.html
A
limited number of rooms have been reserved at the Hotel Mövenpick
http://www.moevenpick-hotels.ch/hotels/default.asp?id=59 (single
DM 150,- and double DM 170,-). Rooms costing between DM 75 and DM 125 have been reserved at the Hotel 'Klassik' (Tel.:(-451) 702980; Fax (-451) 73778).

Rooms
for groups of 4 to 5 people have also been reserved at the Lübeck
Youth Hostel http://lbs.hh.schule.de/lernorte/nordmark/luebjh_.htm (about
DM 30,- per person) located not far from the city center and a 20 minute
walk to the Hotel Mövenpick. Other hotels can be found on the City
homepage.
