Atomistic insight into lithospheric conductivity revealed by phonon–electron excitations in hydrous iron-bearing silicates
Amphiboles are hydrous silicates occurring in many rock types in the continental crust and subduction zones. Here, in situ Raman spectroscopy of grunerite reveals temperature-activated electron-phonon excitations that provide an atomistic insight into the role of amphiboles in the anisotropic lithos...
