Order/disorder phase transition in cordierite and its possible relationship to the development of symplectite reaction textures in granulites

Based on a consistent set of empirical interatomic potentials, static structure energy calculations of various Al/Si configurations in the supercell of Mg-cordierite and Monte Carlo simulations the phase transition between the orthorhombic and hexagonal modifications of cordierite (Crd) is predicted...
