This research investigates how thermal history affects the nucleation and textural evolution of plagioclase.
Utilized BSE imaging for textural analysis
Collected XRF data for starting materials
Analyzed EDS and WDS data for elemental composition
Calculated aspect ratios, size proportions, and growth rates
Generated crystal size distributions (CSDs)
Identified distinct textural changes in plagioclase due to varying thermal histories.
Documented nucleation and growth rate variations.
Established a link between textural characteristics and thermal conditions.
