Thermoelastic properties of salt hydrates and implications for geological structures

This thesis reports the results of neutron diffraction studies and first principles ab initio simulations of two salt hydrates in the Na2SO4 – H2O and MgSO4 – H2O systems, namely mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) and meridianiite (MgSO4·11H2O). Neutron diffraction experiments of deuterated mirabilite were c...
