EuroSLAB - The rheology of the subducting slab and mantle : Final report EuroSLAB Trieste IPSandro Scandolo,
Luigi Giacomazzi, 2011, final research report
Abstract: The aim of this Individual Project was to study the microscopic phenomena of
deformation in mantle minerals by means of atomistic modeling. Understanding such
mechanisms and determining their relative importance in different minerals and in the
wide range of pressure and temperature found in the mantle, is a prerequisite for any
interpretation of deformation experiments, of texture modeling, and of their
geophysical implications.
The project was approved for funding in mid 2006, and was carried out in large
part in collaboration with a postdoctoral fellow funded by CNR (Luigi Giacomazzi),
whose fellowship ended on December 15, 2009.
