Petrology and Geochemistry Dr. Ralf Dohmen Research Scientist Pulsed Laser Deposition Laboratory Manager Dr. Ralf Dohmen Photo by Raúl Fonseca Dr. Ralf Dohmen (Dr. rer. Nat. 1999, Köln, Germany) E-Mail - ralf.dohmen@rub.de Tel.: +49 234 32-24394 Raum: IA 4/113 Research Interests Experimental and theoretical petrology. My research interest covers various different topics within theoretical and experimental petrology where diffusion or diffusion-controlled processes are involved. It comprises theoretical modeling as well as experiments to understand and quantify the reaction kinetics of multi-phase systems or simply to measure diffusion coefficients for various applications, e.g., mineral rheology or diffusion chronometry. Some of my current projects are: Pulsed Laser Deposition of silicate thin films and its application to volume and grain boundary diffusion experiments Experimental investigation and modeling of diffusive fractionation of isotopes and elements Thermodynamic modeling of element partitioning between plagioclase and melt Experimental and theoretical studies of diffusion and partitioning behavior of Li in olivine Diffusion modeling of chemical zoning in primitive meteorites to extract cooling rates and identify oxidation events in the solar nebula Modeling of chemical zoning in phenocrysts to determine time scales of magma recharging events Current scientific collaborations: International Katharina Marquardt, Imperial College London, Department of Materials, London, UK Paul Baral, Michaël Coulombier, Hosni Idrissi, Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering (IMMC), Louvain‐la‐Neuve, Belgium Patrick Cordier, Univ.

Determining the durations of processes that occur on the shorter end of this time-spectrum has been a challenge. The tools of diffusion chronometry have emerged as a very promising method to provide solutions in many situations.
