Magnesium-rich olivine (Mg0.9Fe0.1)2SiO4 is considered to be a major constituent of the Earth's upper mantle. Because of its major geophysical importance, the temperature and pressure dependence of its crystal structure, elastic and dielectric constants, long-wavelength phonon modes and specific heat have been measured using a variety of experimental techniques. Theoretical study of lattice dynamics provides a means of analyzing and understanding a host of such experimental data in a unified manner. A detailed study of the lattice dynamics of forsterite, Mg2SiO4, has been made using a crystal potential function consisting of Coulombic and short-range terms. Quasiharmonic lattice dynamical calculations based on a rigid molecular-ion model have provided theoretical estimates of elastic constants, long-wavelength modes, phonon dispersion relation for external modes along the three high symmetry directions in the Brillouin zone, total and partial density of states and inelastic neutron scattering cross-sections. The neutron cross-sections were used as guides for the coherent inelastic neutron scattering experiment on a large single crystal using a triple axis spectrometer in the constant Q mode. The observed and predicted phonon dispersion relation show excellent agreement. The inelastically scattered neutron spectra from a powder sample have been analyzed on the basis of a phonon density of states calculated from a rigid-ion model, which includes both external and internal modes. The experimental data from a powder sample show good agreement with the calculated spectra, which include a multiphonon contribution in the incoherent approximation. The computed phonon densities of states are used to calculate the specific heat as a function of temperature using both the rigid molecular-ion and rigid ion models. These results are in very good agreement with the calorimetric measurement of the specific heat. The interatomic potential developed here can be used with some confidence to study physical properties of forsterite as a function of pressure and temperature.  相似文献

We use an approach based upon the Born model of solids, in which potential functions represent the interactions between atoms in a structure, to calculate the phonon dispersion of forsterite and the lattice dynamical behaviour of the beta-phase and spinel polymorphs of Mg2SiO4. The potential used (THB1) was derived largely empirically using data from simple binary oxides, and has previously been successfully used to model the infrared and Raman behaviour of forsterite. It includes ‘bond bending’ terms, that model the directionality of the Si-O bond, in addition to the pair-wise additive Coulombic and short range terms. The phonon dispersion relationships of the Mg2SiO4 polymorphs predicted by THB1 were used to calculate the heat capacities, entropies, thermal expansion coefficients and Gruneisen parameters of these phases. The predicted heat capacities and entropies are in outstandingly good agreement with those determined experimentally. The predicted thermodynamic data of these phases were used to construct a phase diagram for this system, which has Clausius-Clapeyron slopes in very close agreement with those found by experiment, but which has predicted transformation pressures that show less close agreement with those inferred from experiment. The overall success, however, that we have in predicting the lattice dynamical and thermodynamic properties of the Mg2SiO4 polymorphs shows that our potential THB1 represents a significant step towards finding the elusive quantitative link between the microscopic or atomistic behaviour of minerals and their macroscopic properties.  相似文献

The vibrational frequencies of a series of splatquenched, olivine glasses spanning the compositional range from Mg2SiO4 to Mn2SiO4 have been determined using both infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The spectra of all glasses show evidence of tetrahedral coordination of silicon (possibly with some slight distortions), and largely octahedral coordination of magnesium. Spectra of Mn-rich glasses indicate that there is some manganese in 4 or 5-fold coordination. The frequencies observed for the fundamental vibrations of the silica tetrahedra are similar to those previously observed for SiO4 groups in both crystalline and glassy orthosilicates. Additionally, there is evidence for a small amount of silicate polymerization in all glasses characterized: vibrations attributable to Si2O7 groups are visible in both infrared and Raman spectra.  相似文献

 One well-defined OH Raman band at 3651 ± 1 cm−1 and one weak feature near 3700 ± 5 cm−1 are recognized for the hydrous γ-phase of Mg2SiO4. Like the hydrous β-phase, the H2O content in the γ-phase shifts most of the corresponding silicate modes towards lower frequencies. Variations in Raman spectra of the hydrous γ-phase were investigated up to about 200 kbar at room temperature and in the range 81–873 K at atmospheric pressure. Unlike the anhydrous γ-phase, which remains intact up to at least 873 K, the hydrous γ-phase sometimes converts to a defective forsterite structure above 800 K. Although the hydrous γ-phase remains intact up to at least 800 K, Raman signals of the OH bands disappear completely above 423 K. The Raman frequency of the well-defined OH band decreases linearly with increasing temperature between 81 and 423 K. In the region of the silicate vibrations, the Raman frequencies of the two most intense bands increase nonlinearly with increasing pressure, and decrease with increasing temperature. The frequencies for all other weak bands, however, decreased linearly with increasing temperature. The latter most likely reflects the larger scatter of the data for the weak bands.

We have obtained infrared and Raman spectra for garnets synthesized at high (static) pressures and temperatures along the join Mg3Al2Si3O12 (pyrope) — Mg4Si4O12 (magnesium majorite). The vibrational spectra of Mg-majorite show a large number of additional weak peaks compared with the spectra of cubic pyrope garnet, consistent with tetragonal symmetry for the MgSiO3 garnet phase. The Raman bands for this phase show no evidence for line broadening, suggesting that Mg and Si are ordered on octahedral sites in the garnet. The bands for the intermediate garnet compositions are significantly broadened compared with the end-members pyrope and Mg-majorite, indicating cation disorder in the intermediate phases. Solid state 27Al NMR spectroscopy for pyrope and two intermediate compositions show that Al is present only on octahedral sites, so the cation disorder is most likely confined to Mg-Al-Si mixing on the octahedral sites. We have also obtained a Raman spectrum for a natural, shock-produced (Fe,Mg) majorite garnet. The sharp Raman peaks suggest little or no cation disorder in this sample.  相似文献

End-member synthetic fayalite and forsterite and a natural solid-solution crystal of composition (Mg1.80,Fe0.20)SiO4 were investigated using Raman spectroscopy. Polarized single-crystal spectra were measured as a function of temperature. In addition, polycrystalline forsterite and fayalite, isotopically enriched in 26Mg and 57Fe, respectively, were synthesized and their powder spectra measured. The high-wavenumber modes in olivine consist of internal SiO4 vibrations that show little variation upon isotopic substitution. This confirms conclusions from previous spectroscopic studies that showed that the internal SiO4 vibrations have minimal coupling with the lower-wavenumber lattice modes. The lowest wavenumber modes in both forsterite and fayalite shift in energy following isotopic substitution, but with energies less than that which would be associated with pure Mg and Fe translations. The low-wavenumber Raman modes in olivine are best described as lattice modes consisting to a large degree of mixed vibrations of M(2) cation translations and external vibrations of the SiO4 tetrahedra. The single-crystal spectra of forsterite and Fo90Fa10 were recorded at a number of temperatures from room temperature to about 1200 °C. From these data the microscopic Grüneisen parameters for three different Ag modes for both compositions were calculated, and also the structural state of the solid solution crystal was investigated. Small discontinuities observed in the wavenumber behavior of a low-energy mixed Mg/T(SiO4) mode between 700 and 1000 °C may be related to minor variations in the Fe–Mg intracrystalline partitioning state in the Fo90Fa10 crystal, but further spectroscopic work is needed to clarify and quantify this issue. The mode wavenumber and intensity behavior of internal SiO4 vibrations as a function of temperature are discussed in terms of crystal field and dynamic splitting and also 1 and 3 coupling. Crystal-field splitting increases only very slightly with temperature, whereas dynamical-field splitting is temperature dependent. The degree of 1–3 coupling decreases with increasing temperature.  相似文献

Infrared and X-ray diffraction studies were made on synthetic serpentines (Si4 to Si2Al2 tetrahedral compositions). Changes in cell dimensions and variations in infrared spectra indicate that ordering can occur in the octahedrally coordinated site and possibly the tetrahedral site. Octahedra order into an Mg3 and/or Mg2Al configuration depending upon bulk mineral composition. In the latter cases an Al ion preferentially fills only one of the large M2 sites found in dioctahedral minerals and is thus characteristic of neither di-nor trioctahedral minerals. Ordering in octahedral and possibly tetrahedral sites does not appear to affect the basic higher frequency vibrations (OH stretch, Si-O stretch) by creating new modes but definite band splitting is seen for vibrations of lower frequency. The alumina-free composition was crystallized into monophase products which can be assimilated to natural chrysotile or antigorite forms. Addition of alumina produces lizardite-type serpentines which are very closely related to the chrysotile structure as indicated by cell-dimension and Si-O stretch bands in infrared spectra.  相似文献

A series of alumina-free micas was synthesized hydrothermally in the potassium-poor portion of the system K2O-MgO-SiO2-H2O. One end member of this series has the composition KMg2.5[Si4O10](OH)2, which, because of its octahedral occupancy, is intermediate between the dioctahedral and trioctahedral micas.From this end member a series of mica solid solutions extends towards more Mg-rich compositions. Single phase micas were obtained along the substitution line 2Mg for Si which appears to involve incorporation of part of the Mg in tetrahedral sites. It leads to a theoretical end member with a structural formula KMg3[Si3.5Mg0.5O10](OH)2. Solid solutions containing up to 75 mole % of this theoretical end member could be synthesized. The observed densities, water contents, and a one-dimensional Fourier synthesis are consistent with the assumed substitution.At 1 kb fluid pressure and 620° C the Si-rich end member KMg2.5[Si4O10](OH)2 decomposes to a more Mg-rich mica, the roedderite phase K2Mg5Si12O30, liquid, and H2O-rich vapor. With increasing Mg-content the thermal stability of the mica solid solutions increases up to 860°C at a composition of about K2O·6.2MgO·7.4SiO2·2H2O, i.e. KMg2.8[Si3.7Mg0.3O10](OH)2. This mica disintegrates directly into forsterite + liquid + H2O-rich vapor. The mica phase richest in Mg with a composition of about K2O·6.5MgO·7.25SiO2·2H2O, i.e. KMg2.875 [Si3.625Mg0.375O10](OH)2, breaks down at 765° C into forsterite, a more Si-rich mica, liquid, and H2O-rich vapor.This binary series of alumina-free micas forms a complete series of ternary solid solutions with normal phlogopite, KMg3[Si3AlO10](OH)2. Analyses of some natural phlogopites showing Si in excess of 3.0 (up to 3.18) per formula unit can be explained through this ternary miscibility range.  相似文献

The structure of a single crystal hydrous ringwoodite, Mg1.89Si0.98H0.30O4 synthesized at conditions of 1300?°C and 20?GPa has been analyzed. Crystallographic data for hydrous ringwoodite obtained are; Cubic with Space group: Fd3m (no. 227). a= 8.0693(5)?Å, V=526.41(9)?Å3, Z=8, Dcalc= 3.48?g?cm?3. The results of site occupancy refinement using higher angle reflections showed the existence of a small degree of Mg2+-Si4+ disorder in the structure such as (Mg1.84Si0.05□0.11)(Si0.93Mg0.05□0.02)H0.30O4. The IR and Raman spectra were measured and OH vibration spectra were observed. A broad absorption band was observed in the IR spectrum and the maxima were observed at 3160?cm?1 in the IR and at 3165?cm?1 and 3685?cm?1 in relatively sharp Raman spectra, which suggest that locations between O-O pairs around the octahedral 16c and 16d sites are possible sites for hydrogen.  相似文献

Experiments using V2O5 as a high-temperature solvent have produced compositional reversals defining the miscibility gap between enstatite and diopside on the join Mg2Si2O6-CaMgSi2O6 between 925° and 1,175° C at atmospheric pressure. These experiments locate an equilibrium near 1,000° C among diopside, protoenstatite, and orthoenstatite; they verify the stable coexistence of diopside and protoenstatite above 1,000° C and disprove the hypothesis that orthoenstatite has a stability field which is continuous from temperatures below 1,000° C to the solidus. The phase relations suggest that the orthorhombic low-Ca pyroxene on the solidus in this system (formerly identified as orthoenstatite) is a phase distinct from the orthoenstatite stable with diopside at low subsolidus temperatures. Data locating the orthoenstatite-diopside miscibility gap validate the use at low pressures of symmetric orthopyroxene and asymmetric clinopyroxene solution models in this system.  相似文献

Detailed ligand-field spectra of Mn2+ in both microcrystalline and single-crystal synthetic forsterite are obtained using the technique of luminescence excitation spectroscopy. It is shown that Mn2+ has an almost exclusive preference for one particular cation site which is most probably the M2 site. Low temperature measurements reveal a no-phonon (purely electronic) transition at 16,260 cm?1 (615 nm) which is the energy of the lowest split component of the 4 T 1(G) state above the ground state. Phonon replicas of this transition are evident showing that a particular phonon mode (180 cm?1) is dominantly involved. An analysis of the polarized spectra of Mn2+ in single-crystal forsterite shows the choice of C 2v (C 2, σ d ) pseudosymmetry for the M2 site yields the best agreement with the polarization dependence of the transitions between the ligand-field states of the Mn2+ ion in this site.  相似文献

High pressure experiments have been performed in the systems Mg2SiO4-C-O-H and Mg2SiO4-K2CO3-C at 6.3 GPa and 1200 to 1600 °C using a split-sphere multi-anvil apparatus. In the Mg2SiO4-C-O-H system the composition of fluid was modeled by adding different amounts of water and stearic acid. The fO2 was controlled by the Mo-MoO2 or Fe-FeO oxygen buffers. Several experiments in the Mg2SiO4-C-O-H system and all experiments in the Mg2SiO4-K2CO3-C system have been conducted without buffering the fO2. Forsterite in the system Mg2SiO4-K2CO3-C does not reveal OH absorption bands in the IR spectra, while forsterite coexisting with carbon-bearing fluid and silicate melt at logfO2 from FMQ-2 to FMQ-5 (from 2 to 5 log units below fayalite-magnetite-quartz oxygen buffer) contains 800-1850 wt. ppm H2O. The maximum concentrations were detected at 1400 °C and FMQ-3.5. We observed an increase in the solidus temperature in the system Mg2SiO4-C-O-H from 1200 to above 1600 °C with log fO2 decreasing from FMQ-2 to FMQ-5. The increase of the solidus temperature and the broadening of the stability field of the H2O-H2-CH4 subsolidus fluid phase at 1400-1600 °C explain the high H2O storage capacity of forsterite relative to that crystallized from carbon-free, oxidized, hydrous, silicic melt. At temperatures above 1400 °C liquidus forsterite precipitated along with diamond from oxidized (FMQ-1) carbonate-silicate melt and from silicate melt dissolving the moderately reduced C-O-H fluid (from FMQ-2 to FMQ-3.5). Formation of diamond was not detected under ultra-reduced conditions (FMQ-5) at 1200-1600 °C. Olivine co-precipitating with diamond from dry carbonate-silicate or hydrous-silicic fluid/melt can provide information on the H2O contents and speciation of the diamond-forming media in the mantle. The conditions for minimum post-crystallization alteration of olivine and its hydrogen content are discussed.  相似文献

Infrared absorption spectra are presented for four hydrous magnesian silicates which are stable at high pressures and high temperatures characteristic of the earth's mantle: phase A (Mg7Si2O14H6), phase B (approx. Mg23Si8O42H6), chondrodite (Mg5Si2O10H2), clinohumite (Mg9Si4O18H2). The results show that phase B as well as phase A, chondrodite and clinohumite contain hydroxyl groups in their structures. It is also suggested that phase B, in addition to phase A, could be of potential importance in the upper mantle and transition zone as a dense host mineral for hydroxyl ions. Chemical composition of phase A was reexamined by microprobe analysis: it agrees well with Mg7Si2O14H6, estimated by Yamamoto and Akimoto (1974, 1977), but disagrees with a newly proposed formula Mg2SiO5H2 by Benimoff and Sclar (1984).  相似文献

The effect of the group IA and VIIA ions, as well as Mg2+, and the molecules H2O, CO2, H3O+ and OH? on the energy of the Si-O bond in a H6Si2O7 cluster has been calculated using semiempirical molecular orbital calculations (CNDO/2). Three types of elementary processes, i.e. substitution, addition, and polymerization reactions have been used to interpret data on the dynamic viscosity, surface tension and surface charge, hydrolytic weakening, diffusivity, conductivity, freezing point depression, and degree of polymerization of silicates in melts, glasses, and aqueous solutions. As a test of our calculational procedure, observed X-ray emission spectra of binary alkali silicate glasses were compared with calculated electronic spectra. The well known bondlength variations between the bridging bond [Si-O(br)] and the non-bridging bond [Si-O(nbr)] in alkali silicates are shown to be due to the propagation of oscillating bond-energy patterns through the silica framework. A kinetic interpretation of some results of our calculations is given in terms of the Bell-Evans-Polanyi reaction principle.  相似文献

?-Na2Si2O5, ζ-Na2Si2O5, Na2Si[Si2O7], and Na6Si3[Si9O27] have been synthesized using an MA6/8 superpress. Densification in high-pressure sodium silicates is effected largely by changes in packing. In the relaxed (1 bar) structures, cation polyhedra and thermal/displacement parameters are similar to those of low-pressure silicates, but the extra-framework cation positions are oversized. The two mixed [4]Si and [6]Si framework silicates of known structure (Na2Si[Si2O7] and Na6Si3[Si9O27]) belong to the limited homologous series Na2mSim[Sin–mO2n+m], with m<n. The structure-composition relationships of wadeite-type, A2Ge4O9-type, and Na6Si3[Si9O27] silicates and germanates depend on T-O distance and size of the large extra-framework cation. Characteristic features of the SiO4 tetrahedral units are present in micro-Raman spectra of mixed [4]Si and [6]Si framework silicates, but bands uniquely attributable to SiO6 octahedra are weak or obscured. However, [6]Si has a profound indirect influence on the Raman spectra, resulting in intense and complex low-frequency bands, assigned to symmetric bending modes with coupled displacements at both bridging oxygens and nonbridging oxygens bonded to [6]Si, and a shift to higher frequency and reduction in intensity of the high-frequency bands assigned to symmetric [4]Si-Onbr stretching vibrations. Raman spectroscopy does not appear to be a useful structural probe for small amounts of [6]Si in silicate glasses and melts.  相似文献

Ni, Co, and Zn are widely distributed in the Earth’s mantle as significant minor elements that may offer insights into the chemistry of melting in the mantle. To better understand the distribution of Ni2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ in the most abundant silicate phases in the transition zone and the upper mantle, we have analyzed the crystal chemistry of wadsleyite (Mg2SiO4), ringwoodite (Mg2SiO4), forsterite (Mg2SiO4), and clinoenstatite (Mg2Si2O6) synthesized at 12–20 GPa and 1200–1400 °C with 1.5–3 wt% of either NiO, CoO, or ZnO in starting materials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrate that significant amounts of Ni, Co, and Zn are incorporated in octahedral sites in wadsleyite (up to 7.1 at%), ringwoodite (up to 11.3 at%), olivine (up to 2.0 at%), and clinoenstatite (up to 3.2 at%). Crystal structure refinements indicate that crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) controls both cation ordering and transition metal partitioning in coexisting minerals. According to electron microprobe analyses, Ni and Co partition preferentially into forsterite and wadsleyite relative to coexisting clinoenstatite. Ni strongly prefers ringwoodite over coexisting wadsleyite with \({D}_{\text{Ni}}^{\text{Rw}/\text{Wd}}\)?=?4.13. Due to decreasing metal–oxygen distances with rising pressure, crystal field effect on distribution of divalent metal ions in magnesium silicates is more critical in the transition zone relative to the upper mantle. Analyses of Ni partitioning between the major upper-mantle phases implies that Ni-rich olivine in ultramafic rocks can be indicative of near-primary magmas.  相似文献

High-resolution core level and valence band (VB) X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of olivine [(Mg0.87Fe0.13)2SiO4], bronzite [(Mg0.8Fe0.2)2Si2O6] and diopside [Ca(Mg0.8Fe0.2)Si2O6] were collected before and after leaching in pH ∼2 solutions with the Kratos magnetic confinement charge compensation system which minimizes differential charge broadening. The leached samples yield Si 2p, Mg 2p, Ca 2p and O 1s XPS spectral linewidths and lineshapes similar to those collected from the respective pristine samples prior to leaching. As with previous XPS studies on crushed samples, our broadscan XPS spectra show evidence for initial, preferential leaching of cations (i.e., Ca2+ and Mg2+) from the near-surface of these minerals. The O 1s spectra of leached olivine and pyroxenes show an additional peak due to OH−, which arises from H+ exchange with near-surface cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+) via electrophilic attack of H+ on the M-O-Si moiety to produce the H2Mg(M1)SiO4(surf) complex at olivine surfaces, and two complexes, H2Mg(M1)Si2O6(surf) and H4Si2O6(surf) at diopside and enstatite surfaces. The olivine and pyroxene surface complexes H2Mg(M1)SiO4(surf) and H2Mg(M1)Si2O6(surf) have been proposed previously, but the second pyroxene surface complex H4Si2O6(surf) has not. Two electrophilic reactions occur in both olivine and pyroxene. For olivine, the more rapid attacks the M2-O-Si moiety producing H2Mg(M1)SiO4(surf); while the second attacks the M1-O-Si moiety ultimately producing H4SiO4 which is released to solution. For pyroxenes, the first electrophilic reaction produces H2Mg(M1)Si2O6(surf), while the second produces.H4Si2O6(surf). These two reactions are followed by a nucleophilic attack of H2O (or H3O+) on Si of H4Si2O6(surf). This reaction is responsible for rupture of the brigding oxygen bond of the Si-O-Si moiety and release of H4SiO4 to solution. The intensity of the OH− peak for the leached pyroxenes is about double the OH− intensity for the leached olivine, consistent with the equivalent of about a monolayer of the above surface complexes being formed in all three minerals.Valence band XPS spectra and density functional calculations demonstrate the remarkable insensitivity of the valence band to leaching of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from the surface layers. This insensitivity is due to a dearth of Ca and Mg valence electron density in the valence band: the Ca-O and Mg-O bonds are highly ionic, with metal-derived s orbital electrons taking on strong O 2p character. The valence band spectrum of leached olivine shows an additional very weak peak at about 13.5 eV, which is assigned to Si 3s valence orbitals in the surface complex H2Mg(M1)SiO4, as indicated by high quality density functional calculations on an olivine where Mg2+ in M2 is replaced by 2H+. The intensity of this new peak is consistent with formation of the equivalent of a monolayer of the surface complex.  相似文献

Single-crystal Raman and infrared reflectivity data including high pressure results to over 200 kbar on a natural, probably fully ordered MgAl2O4 spinel reveal that many of the reported frequencies from spectra of synthetic spinels are affected by disorder at the cation sites. The spectra are interpreted in terms of factor group analysis and show that the high energy modes are due to the octahedral internal modes, in contrast to the behavior of silicate spinels, but in agreement with previous data based on isotopic and chemical cation substitutions and with new Raman data on gahnite (～ ZnAl2O4) and new IR reflectivity data on both gahnite and hercynite (～Fe0.58Mg0.42Al2O4). Therefore, aluminate spinels are inappropriate as elastic or thermodynamic analogs for silicate spinels. Fluorescence sideband spectra yield complementary information on the vibrational modes and provide valuable information on the acoustic modes at high pressure. The transverse acoustic modes are nearly pressure independent, which is similar to the behavior of the shear modes previously measured by ultrasonic techniques. The pressure derivative of all acoustic modes become negative above 110 kbar, indicating a lattice instability, in agreement with previous predictions. This lattice instability lies at approximately the same pressure as the disproportionation of spinel to MgO and Al2O3 reported in high temperature, high pressure work.  相似文献

The effect of Cr on the silicate system has been studied in air at 1 atm by adding a small amount of MgCr2O4 (0.2–0.5 wt.%) to the join Mg2SiO4 (forsterite) — CaAl2Si2O8 (anorthite) — CaMgSi2O6 (diopside), which has been considered to form a thermal divide in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. The spinel primary field is enlarged compared with that in the Cr-free join at the expense of the anorthite primary field. The piercing points forsterite+anorthite+diopside+liquid and forsterite+anorthite+spinel+liquid approach each other with increasing MgCr2O4, meet at the join with 0.25 wt.% MgCr2O4 (0.20 wt.% Cr2O3) to form the ‘isobaric quaternary invariant point’ forsterite+anorthite+diopside+spinel+liquid, and then separate again as new ‘piercing points’ of diopside+spinel+anorthite+liquid and forsterite+diopside+ spinel+liquid. This process indicates that the join Mg2SiO4-CaAl2Si2O8-CaMgSi2O6 containing more than 0.2 wt.% Cr2O3 cannot be a thermal divide in the basalt tetrahedron. The results of the present study show that the presence of a minor amount of Cr causes a significant effect on the phase relations and therefore, the role of Cr must be taken into account in the formulation of a petrologic model.  相似文献

Relative compressibilities of five silicate garnets were determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction on crystals grouped in the same high-pressure mount. The specimens include a natural pyrope [(Mg2.84Fe0.10Ca0,06) Al2Si3O12], and four synthetic specimens with octahedrally-coordinated silicon: majorite [Mg3(MgSi)Si3O12], calcium-bearing majorite [(Ca0.49Mg2.51)(MgSi)Si3012], sodium majorite [(Na1.88Mgp0.12)(Mg0.06Si1.94)Si3O12], and an intermediate composition [(Na0.37Mg2.48)(Mg0.13Al1.07 Si080) Si3O12]. Small differences in the compressibilities of these crystals are revealed because they are subjected simultaneously to the same pressure. Bulk-moduli of the garnets range from 164.8 ± 2.3 GPa for calcium majorite to 191.5 ± 2.5 GPa for sodium majorite, assuming K′=4. Two factors, molar volume and octahedral cation valence, appear to control garnet compression.  相似文献
