Compressibility of Hydrous Garnet

首席研究员将研究压力对 氢化石榴石中的氢键为此，他将确定 四种合成样品的高压晶体结构 使用一种新的高磷电池开发的高强度中子- 洛斯阿拉莫斯散射中心的粉末衍射仪。这 研究将表明石榴石是否可能是一个储存地点， 氢在地球的地幔。

The principal investigator will study the effect of pressure on hydrogen bonding in hydrogarnets. To do so he will determine the crystal structures at high pressure of four synthetic specimens using a new high-P cell developed for the high-intensity neutron- powder diffractometer at the Los Alamos Scattering Center. This study will indicate whether garnet might be a storage site for hydrogen in the Earth`s mantle.
