Most other physical properties of silicate melts show analogous relations with water content and silicate composition.

The low sensitivity of reflectivity to the silicate composition observed in the present study is consistent with previous studies (Hervig et al. 2003; Lowenstern and Pitcher 2013).
We use the term "amorphous silicate" meaning noncrystalline materials with a stoichiometric silicate composition following the astronomical literatures, although it may not be a correct mineralogical term.
Furthermore, the extent of the solidus temperature depression depends on silicate composition and increases, for example, with increasing silica content (Figure 1B).
Nanoscale bioactive glasses of silicate composition are gaining increasing attention due to their superior bioactivity, enhanced osteoconductivity and antibacterial properties when compared to conventional (micron-sized) bioactive glasses.
He also addressed the important issue of how the properties of hydrous melts and aqueous solutions are governed by how the silicate speciation varies with bulk composition, silicate composition, temperature, and pressure.
The properties of hydrous melts and aqueous solutions are governed by how the silicate speciation (Q n species, where n is the number of bridging oxygen in an individual species) varies with bulk composition, silicate composition, temperature, and pressure.
