Comparison of our results with previous studies In the olivine–H2O system, the dihedral angles (θ) at 1000 °C were consistent with those reported in previous studies, whereas θ at 3 GPa and 800 °C was slightly larger than that in Mibe et al.30. This discrepancy is attributed to the effect of the faceted plane. In the olivine–H2O–NaCl system (27.5 wt% NaCl), our data are smaller than the results of Watson and Brenan, which was most likely caused by differences in the measurement number.
