This volume arose from a MSA Short Course held in Cambridge (UK) in early September 2000. The emphasis of this Short Course was to present detailed examples of mineral transformations from well-studied systems. The main types of transformation covered are displacive (Angel, Bismayer, Carpenter, Dove), cation order-disorder (Heaney, McCammon, Redfern) and associated magnetic order-disorder (Harrison). The individual chapters range from thorough introductions to formalisms (e.g. Carpenters analysis of elastic properties at phase transitions, and Angels analysis . . . [Full Text of this Article]
