معرفی
Kurt Leinenweber is a Research Professor at Arizona State University, affiliated with the School of Molecular Sciences and the Eyring Materials Center. His research focuses on high-pressure materials science, mineral physics, and geochemistry, particularly investigating structural transformations under extreme conditions relevant to Earth's mantle and planetary interiors.
Leinenweber has contributed to developing experimental techniques like multi-anvil high-pressure cells and ruby-based pressure calibration standards. His work spans collaborations with institutions such as the University of Illinois and Stony Brook University, supported by grants from NSF-GEO-EAR and others.
His articles explore topics including amorphous oxide structures, high-pressure silica hydration, and novel crystallographic phases. Key contributions include advancing methods for studying thin films, mantle mineral dehydration, and perovskite phase behavior.
