| Abstract: | Melting relations of SiO2 were determined up to 7 GPa. The triple point of quartz-coesite-liquid is located at 4.5 GPa and 2450°C. The melting curve of coesite has a steep initial slope (150°C/GPa) and reaches about 2700°C at 7 GPa. Densities of the quenched glasses are also reported. |
