Physical characterization of magmatic liquids. Final report
Long-range goals of this research project are: (1) Characterization of seismic velocity and attenuation (V{sub p}, V{sub S}, Q{sub p}{sup {minus}1}, Q{sup S}{sup {minus}1}) and electrical properties of selected Hawaiian and related rocks under appropriate controlled environments of pressure, temperature and volatile/fluid content; and, (2) Characterization of the elastic, viscoelastic and thermodynamic properties (V{sub p}, V{sub S}, Q{sub P}{sup {minus}1}, Q{sub S}{sup {minus}1}, viscosity and compressibility) of molten basalts, picrites and komatites, and related silicate melts to {approximately} 1600{degrees}C using the ultrasonic interferometry method. In addition, the pressure dependences of V{sub p},V{sub S} and bulk modulus will be determined using the Brillouin scattering and diamond- anvil cell techniques.
