Using an iterative numerical approach, we have obtained the self-consistent thermal expansion, heat capacity, and Grüneisen parameters of diopside (MgCaSi2O6) over wide pressure and temperature ranges based on experimental data from the literature. Our results agree well with the published experimental and theoretical data. The determined thermodynamic parameters exhibit nonlinear dependences with increasing pressure. Compared with other minerals in the upper mantle, we found that the adiabatic temperature gradient obtained using the thermodynamic data of diopside is larger than that of garnet while lower than that of olivine, when ignoring the Fe incorporation. Combining our results with thermodynamic parameters of garnet obtained in previous studies, we have estimated the adiabatic temperature gradient and geotherm of an eclogitic upper mantle in a depth range of 200–450 km. The results show that the estimated adiabatic temperature gradient of the eclogite model is ~16% and ~3% lower than that of the pyrolite model at a depth of 200 km and 410 km, respectively. However, the high mantle potential temperature of the eclogite model leads to a similar temperature as the pyrolite model in a depth range of 200–410 km.

Outer convection zones of white dwarfs in the range 5800 K ≤ Teff ≤ 30000 K have been studied assuming that they have the same chemical composition as determined by Weidemann (1960) for van Maanen 2. Convection is important in all these stars. In white dwarfs Teff < 8000 K the adiabatic temperature gradient is strongly influenced by the pressure ionization of H, HeI and HeII which occurs within the convection zone. Partial degeneracy is also important.Convective velocities are very small for cool white dwarfs but they reach considerable values for hotter objects. For a white dwarf of Teff = 30000 K a velocity of 6.05 km/sec and an acoustic flux (generated by the turbulent convection) of 1.5 × 1011 erg cm−2 sec−1 is reached. The formation of white dwarf coronae is briefly discussed.

With adopting Al as the nitrogen getter in Ni70Mn25Co5 or Fe55Ni29Co16 catalyst, High-quality type-Ⅱa large diamonds have been grown under the conditions of about 5.5GPa and 1580K by using the temperature gradient method. While Al(2.0wt%) is added in the Fe55Ni29Co16, the nitrogen concentration(Nc) in the diamond is less than 1ppm. While Al(4.0wt%) is added in the Ni70Mn25Co5, the Nc in the diamond is highly arrived at 48ppm. The different of solubility of nitrogen in both catalyst at high pressure and high temperature is the basic reason of the different effect of eliminating nitrogen of Al. It can be shown in experamentals that Al is a less efficient nitrogen getter in Ni70Mn25Co5 than in Fe55Ni29Co16. While Al(2.0wt%) is added in the Fe55Ni29Co16, the high-quality type-Ⅱa large diamond, in which nitrogen is less than 1ppm and which the size was arrived at 3.3mm, had grown by decreasing the growth rate of diamond.

In this study, diamond crystals co-doped with boron and nitrogen were synthesized via a temperature gradient method at 5.3–5.8 GPa and 1300–1550 °C by adding B and N dopants to a system of carbon and an Fe-based solvent catalyst.
