[R2-10] Toward ultrahigh-pressure synthesis of transparent nano-polycrystalline jadeite
Keywords:transparent polycrystalline minerals, ultra-high pressure synthesis, nano-crystals, Multi-anvil apparatus, jadeite
We have been synthesizing various transparent polycrystalline minerals under ultrahigh pressure using multianvil apparatus. Here, we report the synthesis and some characteristics of transparent polycrystalline jadeite with grain sizes down to around 200 nm.
