Hi all,
just a quick note to add to Sunit's contribution - I also believe that
the individual GTBs are important and contribute to the picture.
Certainly for Al in Opx GTB they are as usful as thermocalc and other
approaches - I do not think we have seen the final state of the
aluminous opx solid solution model as yet (and there ARE significant
differences between datasets).
I could go on... but thats all for now,
Regards,
Simon
