  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Olivine Crystallization Depths within Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone: The Use of Rehomogenized Melt Inclusions to Interpret Magma Transport, Storage, and Energetic Fountaining Author: Tuohy, Robin Year: 2014 H2O and CO2 concentrations in olivine-hosted melt inclusions, assuming vapor saturation at the time of trapping, can be used to estimate crystallization depths for the olivine host. Estimating the true CO2 in melt inclusions is difficult, as much is lost to shrinkage bubbles, which form upon post-entrapment cooling and crystallization. Reheating olivine to temperatures above the melt inclusion trapping temperature and then quenching rapidly can restore CO2 to the glass because the CO2 in the bubble redissolves at high temperature. Previous work has established that olivine crystallization for the1959 Kilauea Iki eruption took place in the shallow summit reservoir, but crystallization depths have not been established for the rift extension of the eruption, at Kapoho. The new data presented here suggest that the most primitive Kilauea Iki component bypassed the summit reservoir for the east rift zone prior to the start of the eruption and was later erupted at Kapoho.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Theoretical Study of Spin-wave Effects in Quantum Ferromagnets Author: Bharadwaj, Sripoorna Paniyadi Krishna Year: 2017 In this dissertation, we examine quantum ferromagnets and determine various effects of the magnetic Goldstone modes or "magnons'' in these systems. Firstly, we calculate the magnon contribution to the transport relaxation rate of conduction electrons in metallic ferromagnets and find that at asymptotically low temperatures, the contribution behaves as T^2 exp(-T_0/T) and not as T^2 predicted previously. To perform these calculations, we derive and use a very general effective theory for metallic ferromagnets. This activation barrier-like behavior is due to the fact that spin waves only couple electrons from different Stoner subbands that arise from the splitting of the conduction band in presence of a nonzero magnetization. The T^2 behavior is found to be valid only in a pre-asymptotic temperature window. The temperature scale T_0 is the energy of the least energetic ferromagnon that couples electrons of different spins. Second, we discuss magnon-induced long-range correlation functions in quantum magnets. In the ordered phases of both classical ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, the long-range correlations induced by the magnons lead to a singular wavenumber dependence of the longitudinal order-parameter susceptibility in spatial dimensions 2<d<4. We investigate the quantum analog of this singularity using a nonlinear sigma model. In a quantum antiferromagnet at $T=0$, a weaker nonanalytic behavior is obtained, which is consistent with power counting. The analogous result for a quantum ferromagnet is absent if the magnon damping is neglected. This is due to the lack of magnon number fluctuations in the quantum ferromagnetic ground state. Magnon damping due to quenched disorder restores the expected nonanalyticity. Finally, we use an effective field theory for clean, strongly interacting electron systems to calculate the magnon contribution to the density of states, the longitudinal magnetic susceptibility and the conductivity in an itinerant ferromagnet. Utilizing a loop expansion that does not assume the electron-electron interaction to be a small parameter, we obtain the leading nonanalytic corrections to the Stoner saddle-point results for these observables, as functions of the frequency and wavenumber in the hydrodynamic limit. The dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Timing Vapor–Melt Equilibration in Silicic Magmas Author: Ball, Madison Year: 2017 Magmas experiencing pressure changes can follow equilibrium or nonequilibrium degassing paths that determine the rate of gas exsolution and the composition of gases exsolved. Many variables influence timescales of equilibration between vapor and melt after a perturbation in pressure, temperature, or other factors, and the magnitude of this equilibration time determines whether the system experiences equilibrium degassing or not. In order to create a simplified framework for assessing degassing regime, we constructed a numerical diffusion model to test the sensitivity of equilibration time to variables such as bubble size, spacing, melt temperature, initial and final system pressures, and water content. We then determined the degassing regime for a range of bubble-spacing and decompression rates as an initial simplified framework to build on. We also attempted the first mixed-volatile continuous decompression experiments in order validate our model and further improve analyses and interpretations of volatile gradients in natural samples.
