Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Experiments were conducted to quantify the temperature and pressure effects on the solubility of titanium in coesite. Powdered amorphous silica, titania (anatase), zirconia, and water were added to silver capsules and run in the coesite stability field (at 32, 35, and 40 kbar) from 700 to 1050 °C using a piston–cylinder apparatus. Crystallization of coesite, rutile, and zircon from silica-, titania-, and zircon-saturated aqueous fluids was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Cathodoluminescence images and electron microprobe measurements showed that coesite crystals are relatively homogenous. The Ti concentrations of coesite crystals are significantly higher than concentrations predicted using the Ti-in-quartz calibration (Wark and Watson in Contrib Mineral Petrol 152:743–754, 2006. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-006-0132-1; Thomas et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol 160:743–759, 2010. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-010-0505-3). Titanium K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements demonstrate that Ti substitutes for Si on fourfold tetrahedral sites in coesite at all conditions studied. A model was calibrated to describe the effects of pressure and temperature on the solubility of titanium in coesite by using a least-squares method to fit Ti concentrations in coesite to the simple expression: RTlnXTiO2coesite=-55.068+0.00195×T(K)-1.234×P(kbar)+RTlnaTiO2rutile, where R is the gas constant 8.3145 × 10 kJ/K, P is pressure in kbar, T is temperature in kelvin, XTiO2coesite is the mole fraction of TiO in coesite, and aTiO2rutile is the activity of TiO in the system referenced to rutile. Ti-in-coesite solubility can be used as a thermobarometer for natural samples when used in combination with another indicator of temperature or pressure, such as another thermobarometer in a cogenetic mineral (e.g. rutile) or other phase equilibria (e.g. graphite = diamond). Applications of the Ti-in-coesite thermobarometer to samples from the western Alps and Papua New Guinea are presented.
