The lab explores Earth's interior using high temperatures, high pressures, and quantum beams.
AboutAbout the lab
Recreating Earth's interior environment in experiments
The Quantum Beam Earth Science Lab conducts research that experimentally investigates the structure and properties of the materials that make up the Earth and other planets, in order to clarify their interiors.
The lab uses high-pressure, high-temperature apparatus to recreate the environment of Earth's interior, and uses quantum beams to study how materials behave under those conditions.
Experiments are carried out in the university's laboratories, at synchrotron radiation facilities, and at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut of the University of Bayreuth in Germany, a partner institution.
A distinguishing feature of the lab is that it links the microscopic properties of minerals and rocks to phenomena occurring on the Earth and other planets.
Key terms
- Experimental petrology
- A field that investigates the microscopic properties of minerals and rocks through experiments
- High-pressure, high-temperature apparatus
- Experimental equipment that generates high temperatures and pressures to recreate the environment of Earth's interior
- Synchrotron radiation
- High-brightness radiation used at synchrotron facilities, used to observe samples in situ during experiments
ResearchResearch themes
The lab considers it especially important to experimentally investigate the structure and properties of the materials that make up the Earth and other planets, and thereby to gain a comprehensive understanding of their internal structure and their formation history spanning billions of years. This field is known as experimental petrology and mineral physics.
