Magnetic Properties of Tectosilicates I, 2011 Condensed Matter Series

The magnetic properties of silicates and phosphates are compiled in subvolume 27I. While subvolumes 27I1, 27I2, 27I3, 27I4, 27I5 and 27I6 (already published) deal with orthosilicates, sorosilicates, cyclosilicates, inosilicates, and phyllosilicates, respectively, the present subvolume 27I7 deals with phosphates. 

The magnetic properties of silicates and phosphates are compiled in subvolume 27I. While subvolumes 27I1, 27I2, 27I3, 27I4, and 27I5 (already published) deal with orthosilicates, sorosilicates, cyclosilicates, inosilicates, and phyllosilicates, respectively, the present subvolume 27I6 deals with tectosilicates. Subvolume 27I6 has been split in two parts α and ß. Part 27I6α discusses kalsilite, nepheline, carnegieite, and related silicates; lisetite, banalsite, stronalsite; feldspars; sodalite, cancrinite, and leifite groups of silicates; scapolites. Further subvolumes will be dedicated to phosphates. – Silicates are very complex systems, covering large classes of minerals as well as synthetic samples. Their crystal structure is discussed and atomic positions are given. In addition to magnetic properties, results of neutron diffraction studies, nuclear gamma resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transport properties, dielectric and optical data are reviewed.
