Notes. The nomenclature En(x)Fs(1-x) indicates the fraction of magnesium (or iron) included in the compound. “En” stands for enstatite (the Mg-pure pyroxene, Mg Si O3) and “Fs” for ferrosilite (the Fe-purepyroxene, FeSiO3). The two amorphous quartz present two different levels of glassiness: compound number 13 has an intermediate amorphous form whereas compound 14 has a full amorphous structure.
