New Addition to the CODATA Series "Data in a Changing World"

Thermodynamic Data, Models, and Phase Diagrams in Multicomponent Oxide Systems
An Assessment for Materials and Planetary Scientists Based on Calorimetric, Volumetric and Phase Equilibrium Data
Fabrichnaya, O.B., Saxena, S.K., Richet, P., Westrum, E.F

This book presents thermodynamic data on oxides in the system MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-Al2O3-SiO2. These data are produced by a process of assessment that involves the integration of thermochemical (calorimetric) and phase equilibrium data. The latter have been selected from a number of publications in high-pressure research conducted at pressures and temperatures in the range of 1 bar to several Giga Pascals and 300 to 2500 K respectively. A unique feature of the database is that the assessment involves not only the thermodynamic data on pure end member species, but also the data on multicomponent solutions. Since the solution description follows the format used in the popular thermodynamic computational packages such as FACTSAGE, ChemSage and Thermocalc, the database is easy to incorporate in the currently used databases in these packages. The database is highly useful to those working in the field of metallurgy (e.g. slags) and ceramics. It is essential for all those who do thermodynamic modeling of the terrestrial planetary interiors.

Publication News from CODATA

A new book in the CODATA series "Data and Knowledge in a Changing World" has just been published by Springer. The book Thermodynamic Data, Models and Phase Diagrams in Multicomponent Oxide Systems is co-authored by Olga Fabrichnaya, Pascal Richet, Surendra K. Saxena and Edgar F Westrum, Jr.

This book presents thermodynamic data on oxides in the system MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-Al2O3-SiO2. These data are produced by a process of assessment, that involves the integration of thermochemical (calorimetric) and phase equilibrium data.
