Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Hydrogen
  • Basalt

Mineralogy, Geophysics, Boundary layer, Fractionation and Mantle convection are his primary areas of study. His work investigates the relationship between Mineralogy and topics such as Arrhenius plot that intersect with problems in Arrhenius equation. He combines subjects such as Concentration ratio and Analytical chemistry with his study of Fractionation.

His Analytical chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ionic bonding, Silicate, Evaporation, Kinetics and Diffusion. His Mantle convection study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Combined forced and natural convection, Convection cell, Convection and Mantle. His Equilibrium fractionation research incorporates themes from Vapor pressure, Rayleigh fractionation and Mass-independent fractionation.

His most cited work include:

  • Sr isotope evolution of seawater: the role of tectonics (389 citations)
  • The 40Ar/39Ar thermochronometry for slowly cooled samples having a distribution of diffusion domain sizes (366 citations)
  • On the interaction of two scales of convection in the mantle (324 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Frank M. Richter mainly investigates Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Fractionation, Evaporation and Isotope fractionation. His studies deal with areas such as Pore water pressure, Isotopes of oxygen, Mantle and Thermodynamics as well as Mineralogy. His Analytical chemistry research incorporates elements of Mass-independent fractionation, Chondrule, Silicate, Equilibrium fractionation and Diffusion.

In general Fractionation, his work in Kinetic fractionation is often linked to Piston-cylinder apparatus linking many areas of study. His Evaporation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Solar System and Chondrite. His Isotope fractionation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mineral redox buffer, Isotopes of lithium and Basalt.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (38.14%)
  • Analytical chemistry (32.99%)
  • Fractionation (29.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Fractionation (29.90%)
  • Analytical chemistry (32.99%)
  • Mineralogy (38.14%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Fractionation, Analytical chemistry, Mineralogy, Evaporation and Isotope fractionation. The various areas that Frank M. Richter examines in his Fractionation study include Geochemistry, Solar System, Allende meteorite and Silicate. His studies in Analytical chemistry integrate themes in fields like Thermal and Kinetic fractionation.

Frank M. Richter has researched Mineralogy in several fields, including Melilite, Mineral redox buffer, Mantle and Isotopes of magnesium. As a part of the same scientific family, Frank M. Richter mostly works in the field of Evaporation, focusing on Chondrule and, on occasion, Isotopic composition, Radiochemistry, Diffusion and Ultra-high vacuum. His biological study deals with issues like Isotopes of lithium, which deal with fields such as Diffusion layer.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Isotopic mass dependence of metal cation diffusion coefficients in liquid water (68 citations)
  • Lithium isotope fractionation by diffusion in minerals. Part 1: Pyroxenes (59 citations)
  • Internal 26Al–26Mg isotope systematics of a Type B CAI: Remelting of refractory precursor solids (50 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Hydrogen
  • Basalt

Fractionation, Evaporation, Isotopes of magnesium, Analytical chemistry and Mineralogy are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Fractionation and topics such as Mass spectrometry that intersect with problems in Mass-independent fractionation, Equilibrium fractionation and Solar System. His Evaporation study incorporates themes from Kinetic fractionation, Isotopes of silicon, Environmental chemistry, Isotopes of oxygen and Diffusion.

His research in Isotopes of magnesium intersects with topics in Anorthite, Melilite, Spinel, Isochron and Mantle. In the subject of general Analytical chemistry, his work in Matrix and Ultra-high vacuum is often linked to Scattering and Laser ablation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Isotopes of lithium, Felsic, Formation and evolution of the Solar System and Isotope fractionation.
