Solar Wind Sodium and Potassium Abundance Analysis in Genesis Diamond-on-Silicon and Silicon Bulk Solar Wind Collectors, and How Hydration Affects the Microtexture of Olivine Phase Transformation at 18 GPa

abstract: The present work covers two distinct microanalytical studies that address issues in planetary materials: (1) Genesis Na and K solar wind (SW) measurements, and (2) the effect of water on high-pressure olivine phase transformations. NASA’s Genesis mission collected SW samples for terrestri...
