OH in natural orthopyroxene: an in situ FTIR investigation at varying temperatures     

Y.?Yang  Q.?K.?XiaEmail author  M.?Feng  S.?C.?Liu 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(5):413-418

In situ unpolarized and polarized Fourier transform infrared spectra of a natural orthopyroxene at varying temperatures were obtained using a heating stage attached on an Infrared microscope. The three main bands (3,595, 3,520 and 3,410 cm⁻¹) at room temperature are ascribed to OH fundamental stretching bands. With increasing temperature from room temperature to 500 °C, the 3,595 cm⁻¹ band shifts 20 cm⁻¹ to lower frequency. The total integral absorbance decreases with increasing temperature. These changes are reversible. Excluding the influences of dehydration, proton migration, thermal expansion, and changes in OH dipole direction, the change of integral absorbance with temperature reflects the temperature dependence of absorption coefficient due to the anharmonicity of OH vibration. Based on the integral absorption coefficient at room temperature (14.84 ppm⁻¹ cm⁻²) from Bell et al. (Am Mineral 80:463–474, 1995), the integral absorption coefficients at other temperatures are calculated. The variation of integral absorption coefficient between room temperature and 500 °C obtained in this study is about 18.5 % and may be greater at higher temperature according to the proposed linear relationship.  相似文献   

Synchrotron IR study of hydrous ringwoodite (γ-Mg2SiO4) up to 30 GPa     

E. M. Chamorro Pérez  I. Daniel  J.-C. Chervin  P. Dumas  J. D. Bass  T. Inoue 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(7):502-510

High-pressure synchrotron infrared (IR) absorption spectra were collected between 650 and 4,000 cm⁻¹ at ambient temperature for hydrous Mg-ringwoodite (γ-Mg₂SiO₄) up to 30 GPa. The main feature in the OH⁻ stretching region is an extremely broad band centred at 3,150 cm⁻¹. The hydrogen bond is strong for most protons and the most probable site for protonation is the tetrahedral edge. With increasing pressure, this band shifts downward while decreasing its integrated intensity until disappearance at a pressure of 25 GPa. Only one band at 2,450 cm⁻¹ and an absorption plateau persist with a maximum wavenumber of 3,800 cm⁻¹. This behaviour is reversible upon pressure release. We interpret this as a second-order phase transition occurring in hydrated Mg-ringwoodite at high pressure (beyond ∼ 25 GPa). This result is compatible with the observation by Kleppe et al. (Phys Chem Miner 29:473–476, 2002a) who suggested the presence of Si–O–Si linkages and/or partial increase in the coordination of Si. Beyond the phase transition, the protons are delocalized and their environment on the ringwoodite structure is probably quite different from that at low pressure. Data obtained in situ at high pressures and temperatures are needed to better understand the effect of protonation on the structure and to better constrain this phase transition.  相似文献   

The single-crystal,polarized-light,FTIR spectrum of stoppaniite,the Fe analogue of beryl     

Giancarlo Della Ventura  Fabio Bellatreccia  Paolo Rossi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2007,34(10):727-731

We report here a single-crystal polarized-light study of stoppaniite, ideally (Fe,Al,Mg)₄(Be₆Si₁₂O₃₆)(H₂O)₂(Na,□), from Capranica (Viterbo). Polarized-light FTIR spectra were collected on an oriented (hk0) section, doubly polished to 15 μm. The spectrum shows two main bands at 3,660 and 3,595 cm⁻¹; the former is strongly polarized for E ⊥c, while the latter is polarized for E //c. A sharp and very intense band at 1,620 cm⁻¹, plus minor features at 4,000 and 3,228 cm⁻¹ are also polarized for E //c. On the basis of literature data and considering the pleochroic behavior of the absorptions, the 3,660 cm⁻¹ band is assigned to the ν₃ stretching mode and the 1,620 cm⁻¹ (associated with an overtone 2*ν₂ at 3,230 cm⁻¹) band to the ν₂ bending mode of “type II” water molecules within the structural channels of the studied beryl. The sharp band at 3,595 cm⁻¹ is not associated with a corresponding ν₂ bending mode; thus it is assigned to the stretching vibration of O–H groups in the sample. The minor 4,000 cm⁻¹ feature can be assigned to the combination of the O–H bond parallel to c with a low-frequency metal-oxygen mode such as the Na–O stretching mode. The present results suggest that the interpretation of the FTIR spectrum of Na-rich beryl needs to be carefully reconsidered.  相似文献   

Comparison of Measured and PTF Predictions of SWCCs for Loess Soils in China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mingbin Huang  D. G. Fredlund  M. D. Fredlund 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2010,28(2):105-117

There are significant advantages in using indirect pedo-transfer functions, (PTFs) for the estimation of unsaturated soil properties. The pedo-transfer functions can be used for the estimation of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) which in turn is used for the estimation of other unsaturated soil properties. The accuracy of the indirect pedo-transfer function method for the estimation of the SWCC depends on the PTF and the equation used to best-fit the particle-size distribution (PSD) data. The objectives of this study are to: (1) evaluate the performance of the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827, 2000) equation for best-fitting the particle-size distribution, (PSD) data, and, (2) compare the predictions made by two of the commonly used PTFs; namely, Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) and Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002), for estimating the SWCC from the PSD. The authors used 258 measured PSDs and SWCC datasets from the Loess Plateau, China, for this study. The dataset consisted of 187 silt–loam soils, 41 loam soils, 11 silt–clay–loam soils, 10 sand–loam soils, 6 silt–clay soils, and 3 loam–sand soils. The SWCC and PSD datasets were measured using a Pressure Plate apparatus and the pipette method, respectively. The comparison between the estimated and measured particle-size distribution curves showed that the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827, 2000) equation closely prepresented the PSD for all soils in the Loess Plateau, with a lower root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.869%. The comparison between the estimated and measured water contents at the same suction showed that the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF performed somewhat better than the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) function. The Fredlund et al. method had RMSE value of 0.039 cm³ cm⁻³ as opposed to 0.046 cm³ cm⁻³ for the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) method. The Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF produced the closest predictions for sand–loam, loam–sand, and loam soils, with a lower RMSE for gravimetric water content ranging from 0.006 to 0.036 cm³ cm⁻³. There were consistent over-estimations observed for silt–loam, silt–clay–loam, and slit–clay soils with RMSE values for gravimetric water content ranging from 0.037 to 0.043 cm³ cm⁻³. The measured and estimated air-entry values were closest when using the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF. The measured and estimated maximum slopes on the SWCC were closest when using the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) PTF.  相似文献   

Hydroxyl in mantle olivine xenocrysts from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe   总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5  

Monika Koch-Müller  Stanislav S. Matsyuk  Dieter Rhede  Richard Wirth  Natasha Khisina 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(4):276-287

The incorporation of hydrogen in mantle olivine xenocrysts from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). IR spectra were collected in the OH stretching region on oriented single crystals using a conventional IR source at ambient conditions and in situ at temperatures down to −180°C as well as with IR synchrotron radiation. The IR spectra of the samples are complex containing more than 20 strongly polarized OH bands in the range 3,730–3,330 cm⁻¹. Bands at high energies (3,730–3,670 cm⁻¹) were assigned to inclusions of serpentine, talc and the 10 Å phase. All other bands are believed to be intrinsic to olivine. The corresponding point defects are (a) associated with vacant Si sites (3,607 cm⁻¹ E || a, 3,597 E || a, 3,571 cm⁻¹ E || c, 3,567 E || c, and 3,556 E || b), and (b) with vacant M1 sites (most of the bands polarized parallel to a). From the pleochroic behavior and position of the OH bands associated with the vacant M1 sites, we propose two types of hydrogen—one bonded to O1 and another to O2, so that both OH vectors are strongly aligned parallel to a. The O2–H groups may be responsible for the OH bands at higher wavenumbers than those for the O1–H groups. The multiplicity of the corresponding OH bands in the spectra can be explained by different chemical environments and by slightly different distortions of the M1 sites in these high-pressure olivines. Four samples were investigated by SIMS. The calculated integral molar absorption coefficient using the IR and SIMS results of 37,500±5,000 L mol H₂O cm⁻² is within the uncertainties slightly higher than the value determined by Bell et al. (J Geophys Res 108(B2):2105–2113, 2003) (28,450±1,830 L mol H₂O cm⁻²). The reason for the difference is the different distributions of the absorption intensity of the spectra of both studies (mean wavenumber 3,548 vs. 3,570 cm⁻¹). Olivine samples with a mean wavenumber of about 3,548 cm⁻¹ should be quantified with the absorption coefficient as determined in this study; those containing more bands at higher wavenumber (mean wavenumber 3,570 cm⁻¹) should be quantified using the value determined by Bell et al. (J Geophys Res 108(B2):2105–2113, 2003).

A hitherto unrecognised band in the Raman spectra of silica rocks: influence of hydroxylated Si–O bonds (silanole) on the Raman moganite band in chalcedony and flint (SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>)     

Patrick?SchmidtEmail author  Ludovic?Bellot-Gurlet  Aneta?Slodczyk  Fran?ois?Fr?hlich 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(6):455-464

Chalcedony is a spatial arrangement of hydroxylated nanometre-sized α-quartz (SiO₂) crystallites that are often found in association with the silica mineral moganite (SiO₂). A supplementary Raman band at 501 cm⁻¹ in the chalcedony spectrum, attributed to moganite, has been used for the evaluation of the quartz/moganite ratio in silica rocks. Its frequency lies at 503 cm⁻¹ in sedimentary chalcedony, representing a 2 cm⁻¹ difference with its position in pure moganite. We present a study of the 503 cm⁻¹ band’s behaviour upon heat treatment, showing its gradual disappearance upon heating to temperatures above 300 °C. Infrared spectroscopic measurements of the silanole (SiOH) content in the samples as a function of annealing temperature show a good correlation between the disappearance of the 503 cm⁻¹ Raman band and the decrease of structural hydroxyl. Thermogravimetric analyses reveal a significant weight loss that can be correlated with the decreasing of this Raman band. X-ray powder diffraction data suggest the moganite content in the samples to remain stable. We propose therefore the existence of a hitherto unknown Raman band at 503 cm⁻¹ in chalcedony, assigned to ‘free’ Si–O vibrations of non-bridging Si–OH that oscillate with a higher natural frequency than bridging Si–O–Si (at 464 cm⁻¹). A similar phenomenon was recently observed in the infrared spectra of chalcedony. The position of this Si–OH-related band is nearly the same as the Raman moganite band and the two bands may interfere. The actually observed Raman band in silica rocks might therefore be a convolution of a silanole and a moganite vibration. These findings have broad implications for future Raman spectroscopic studies of moganite, for the assessment of the quartz/moganite ratio, using this band, must take into account the contribution from silanole that are present in chalcedony and moganite.  相似文献   

High-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite     

Annette K. Kleppe  Andrew P. Jephcoat  Joseph R. Smyth 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,32(10):700-709

Raman spectra of monoclinic Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite with 2.4 wt% H₂O have been measured in a diamond-anvil cell with helium as a pressure-transmitting medium to 58.4 GPa at room temperature. The most intense, characteristic wadsleyite modes, the Si–O–Si symmetric stretch at 721 cm⁻¹ and the symmetric stretch of the SiO₃ unit at 918 cm⁻¹, shift continuously to 58.4 GPa showing no evidence of a first order change in the crystal structure despite compression well beyond the stability field of wadsleyite in terms of pressure. The pressure dependence of these two modes is nearly identical for Fo₉₀ hydrous and Fo₁₀₀ anhydrous wadsleyite. A striking feature in the high-pressure Raman spectra of Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite is the appearance of new Raman modes above 9 GPa in the mid-frequency range (300–650 cm⁻¹ at 1-bar and shifted to 500–850 cm⁻¹ at 58.4 GPa) accompanied by a significant growth in their intensities under further compression. In the OH stretching frequency range Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite exhibits a larger number of modes than the Mg end-member phase. The higher number of modes may be due to either additional protonation sites or simply that we observe a different subset of all possible OH modes for each sample. The high-pressure behaviour of the OH stretching modes of Fo₉₀ and Fo₁₀₀ hydrous wadsleyite is consistent: OH stretching modes with frequencies <3,530 cm⁻¹ decrease with increasing pressure whereas the higher-frequency OH modes show a close to constant pressure dependence to at least 13.2 GPa. The approximately constant pressure dependence of the OH modes above 3,530 cm⁻¹ is consistent with protons being located at the O1···O edges around M3.  相似文献   

High-pressure phase transition and behavior of protons in brucite Mg(OH)2: a high-pressure–temperature study using IR synchrotron radiation     

K. Shinoda  M. Yamakata  T. Nanba  H. Kimura  T. Moriwaki  Y. Kondo  T. Kawamoto  N. Niimi  N. Miyoshi  N. Aikawa 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2002,29(6):396-402

 Infrared absorption spectra of brucite Mg (OH)₂ were measured under high pressure and high temperature from 0.1 MPa 25 °C to 16 GPa 360 °C using infrared synchrotron radiation at BL43IR of Spring-8 and a high-temperature diamond-anvil cell. Brucite originally has an absorption peak at 3700 cm⁻¹, which is due to the OH dipole at ambient pressure. Over 3 GPa, brucite shows a pressure-induced absorption peak at 3650 cm⁻¹. The pressure-induced peak can be assigned to a new OH dipole under pressure. The new peak indicates that brucite has a new proton site under pressure and undergoes a high-pressure phase transition. From observations of the pressure-induced peak under various P–T condition, a stable region of the high-pressure phase was determined. The original peak shifts to lower wavenumber at −0.25 cm⁻¹ GPa⁻¹, while the pressure-induced peak shifts at −5.1 cm⁻¹ GPa⁻¹. These negative dependences of original and pressure-induced peak shifts against pressure result from enhanced hydrogen bond by shortened O–H···O distance, and the two dependences must result from the differences of hydrogen bond types of the original and pressure-induced peaks, most likely from trifurcated and bent types, respectively. Under high pressure and high temperature, the pressure-induced peak disappears, but a broad absorption band between 3300 and 3500 cm⁻¹ was observed. The broad absorption band may suggest free proton, and the possibility of proton conduction in brucite under high pressure and temperature.

Variation of infrared absorption spectra in the system Bi2Al4−x Fe x O9 (x = 0–4), structurally related to mullite     

D. Voll  A. Beran  H. Schneider 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(8-9):623-628

The crystal structure of Bi₂Al_4−x Fe _x O₉ compounds (x = 0–4) has striking similarities with the crystal structure of mullite. A complete substitution of Al by Fe³⁺ in both octahedral and tetrahedral sites is a particular structural feature. The infrared (IR) spectra of the Bi₂M₄O₉ compounds (M = Al, Fe³⁺) are characterised by three band groups with band maxima in the 900–800, 800–600 and 600–400 cm⁻¹ region. Based on the spectroscopic results obtained from mullite-type phases, the present study focuses on the composition-dependent analysis of the 900–800 cm⁻¹ band group, which is assigned to Al(Fe³⁺)–O stretching vibrations of the corner-sharing MO₄ tetrahedra. The Bi₂Al₄O₉ and Bi₂Fe₄O₉ endmembers display single bands with maxima centred at 922 and 812 cm⁻¹, respectively. Intermediate Bi₂Al_4−x Fe _x O₉ compounds exhibit a distinct splitting into three relatively sharp bands, which is interpreted in terms of ordering effects within the tetrahedral pairs. Thereby the high-energy component band of the band triplet relates to Al–O–Al conjunctions and the low-energy component band to Fe–O–Fe conjunctions. The intermediate band is assigned to stretching vibrations of Al–O–Fe or Fe–O–Al configurations of the corner-sharing tetrahedral pairs. Bands in the 800–600 cm⁻¹ range are assigned to low-energy stretching vibrations of the MO₄ tetrahedra and to M–O–M bending vibrations of the tetrahedral pairs. Absorptions in the 600–400 cm⁻¹ range are essentially determined by M–O stretching modes of the M cations in octahedral coordination.  相似文献   

Electronic absorption and luminescence spectroscopic studies of kyanite single crystals: differentiation between excitation of FeTi charge transfer and Cr3+ dd transitions     

A. N. Platonov  A. N. Tarashchan  K. Langer  M. Andrut  G. Partzsch  S. S. Matsyuk 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,25(3):203-212

A selected set of five different kyanite samples was analysed by electron microprobe and found to contain chromium between <0.001 and 0.055 per formula unit (pfu). Polarized electronic absorption spectroscopy on oriented single crystals, R₁, R₂-sharp line luminescence and spectra of excitation of λ₃- and λ₄-components of R₁-line of Cr³⁺-emission had the following results: (1) The Fe²⁺–Ti⁴⁺ charge transfer in c-parallel chains of edge connected M(1) and M(2) octahedra shows up in the electronic absorption spectra as an almost exclusively c(||Z′)-polarized, very strong and broad band at 16000 cm⁻¹ if <, in this case the only band in the spectrum, and at an invariably lower energy of 15400 cm⁻¹ in crystals with  ≥ . The energy difference is explained by an expansion of the O_f–O_k, and O_b–O_m edges, by which the M(1) and M(2) octahedra are interconnected (Burnham 1963), when Cr³⁺ substitutes for Al compared to the chromium-free case. (2) The Cr³⁺ is proven in two greatly differing crystal fields a and b, giving rise to two sets of bands, derived from the well known dd transitions of Cr^{3+ 4}A_2g→⁴T_2g(F)(I), →⁴T_1g(F)(II), and →⁴T_1g(P)(III). Band energies in the two sets a and b, as obtained by absorption, A, and excitation, E, agree well: I: 17300(a, A), 17200(a, E), 16000(b, A), 16200(b, E); II: 24800(a, A), 24400(a, E); 22300(b, A), 22200(b, E); III: 28800(b,A) cm⁻¹. Evaluation of crystal field parameters from the bands in the electronic spectra yield Dq(a)=1730 cm⁻¹, Dq(b)=1600 cm⁻¹, B(a)=790 cm⁻¹, B(b)=620 cm⁻¹ (errors ca. ±10 cm⁻¹), again in agreement with values extracted from the λ³, λ⁴ excitation spectra. The CF-values of set a are close to those typical of Cr³⁺ substituting for Al in octahedra of other silicate minerals without constitutional OH⁻ as for sapphirine, mantle garnets or beryl, and are, therefore, interpreted as caused by Cr³⁺ substituting for Al in some or all of the M(1) to M(4) octaheda of the kyanite structure, which are crystallographically different but close in their mean Al–O distances, ranging from 1.896 to 1.919 A (Burnham 1963), and slight degrees of distortion. Hence, band set a originates from substitutive Cr³⁺ in the kyanite structural matrix. The CF-data of Cr³⁺ type b, expecially B, resemble those of Cr³⁺ in oxides, especially of corundum type solid solutions or eskolaite. This may be interpreted by the assumption that a fraction of the total chromium contents might be allocated in a precursor of a corundum type exsolution.

Electronic absorption by Ti3+ ions and electron delocalization in synthetic blue rutile     

V. M. Khomenko  K. Langer  H. Rager  A. Fett 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,25(5):338-346

Polarized absorption spectra, σ and π, in the spectral range 30000–400 cm⁻¹ (3.71–0.05 eV) were obtained on crystal slabs // [001] of deep blue rutile at various temperatures from 88 to 773 K. The rutile crystals were grown in Pt-capsules from carefully dried 99.999% TiO₂ rutile powder at 50 kbar/1500 °C using graphite heating cells in a belt-type apparatus. Impurities were below the detection limits of the electron microprobe (about 0.005 wt% for elements with Z≥13). The spectra are characterized by an unpolarized absorption edge at 24300 cm⁻¹, two weak and relatively narrow (Δν_1/2≈3500–4000 cm⁻¹), slightly σ-polarized bands ν₁ at 23500 cm⁻¹ and ν₂ at 18500 cm⁻¹, and a complex, strong band system in the NIR (near infra red) with sharp weak peaks in the region of the OH stretching fundamentals superimposed on the NIR system in the σ-spectra. The NIR band system and the UV edge produce an absorption minimum in both spectra, σ and π, at 21000 cm⁻¹, i.e. in the blue, which explains the colour of the crystals. Bands ν₁ and ν₂ are assigned to dd transitions to the Jahn-Teller split upper E_g state of octahedral Ti³⁺. The NIR band system can be fitted as a sum of three components. Two of them are partly π-polarized, nearly Gaussian bands, both with large half widths 6000–7000 cm⁻¹, ν₃ at 12000 cm^–1 and the most intense ν₄ at 6500 cm⁻¹. The third NIR band ν₅ of a mixed Lorentz-Gaussian shape with a maximum at 3000 cm⁻¹ forms a shoulder on the low-energy wing of ν₄. Energy positions, half band widths and temperature behaviour of these bands are consistent with a small polaron type of Ti³⁺Ti⁴⁺ charge transfer (CT). Polarization dependence of CT bands can be explained on the basis of the structural model of defect rutile by Bursill and Blanchin (1983) involving interstitial titanium. Two OH bands at 3322 and 3279 cm⁻¹ in σ-spectra show different stability during annealing, indicating two different positions of proton in the rutile structure, one of them probably connected with Ti³⁺ impurity. Total water concentration in blue rutile determined by IR spectroscopy is 0.10 wt-% OH. The EPR spectra measured in the temperature interval 20–295 K show the presence of an electron centre at temperatures above 100 K and Ti³⁺ ions in more than one structural position, but predominantly in compressed interstitial octahedral sites, at lower temperatures. These results are in good agreement with the conclusions based on the electronic absorption data. Received: 24 March 1997 / Revised, accepted: 14 October 1997  相似文献   

Heat capacity,entropy and phase equilibria of stishovite     

Wenjun?YongEmail author  Edgar?Dachs  Artur?Benisek  Richard?A.?Secco 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(2):153-162

The low-temperature heat capacity (C _P) of stishovite (SiO₂) synthesized with a multi-anvil device was measured over the range of 5–303 K using the heat capacity option of a physical properties measurement system (PPMS) and around ambient temperature using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The entropy of stishovite at standard temperature and pressure calculated from DSC-corrected PPMS data is 24.94 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, which is considerably smaller (by 2.86 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) than that determined from adiabatic calorimetry (Holm et al. in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31:2289–2307, 1967) and about 4% larger than the recently reported value (Akaogi et al. in Am Mineral 96:1325–1330, 2011). The coesite–stishovite phase transition boundary calculated using the newly determined entropy value of stishovite agrees reasonably well with the previous experimental results by Zhang et al. (Phys Chem Miner 23:1–10, 1996). The calculated phase boundary of kyanite decomposition reaction is most comparable with the experimental study by Irifune et al. (Earth Planet Sci Lett 77:245–256, 1995) at low temperatures around 1,400 K, and the calculated slope in this temperature range is mostly consistent with that determined by in situ X-ray diffraction experiments (Ono et al. in Am Mineral 92:1624–1629, 2007).  相似文献   

Optical spectroscopic study of synthetic NaScSi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>6</Subscript>–CaNiSi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>6</Subscript> pyroxenes at normal and high pressures     

Michail N. Taran  Haruo Ohashi  Monika Koch-Müller 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(3):117-127

Six synthetic NaScSi₂O₆–CaNiSi₂O₆ pyroxenes were studied by optical absorption spectroscopy. Five of them of intermediate (Na_1−x , Ca _x )(Sc_1−x , Ni _x )Si₂O₆ compositions show spectra typical of Ni²⁺ in octahedral coordination, more precise Ni²⁺ at the M1 site of the pyroxene structure. The common feature of all spectra is three broad absorption bands with maxima around 8,000, 13,000 and 24,000 cm⁻¹ assigned to ³ A _2g → ³ T _2g, ³ A _2g → ³ T _1g and →³ T _1g (³ P) electronic spin-allowed transitions of ^VINi²⁺. A weak narrow peak at ∼14,400 cm⁻¹ is assigned to the spin-forbidden ³ A _2g → ¹ T _2g (¹ D) transition of Ni²⁺. Under pressure the spin-allowed bands shift to higher energies and change in intensity. The octahedral compression modulus, calculated from the shift of the ³ A _2g → ³ T _2g band in the (Na_0.7Ca_0.3)(Sc_0.7Ni_0.3)Si₂O₆ pyroxene is evaluated as 85±20 GPa. The Racah parameter B of Ni²⁺(M1) is found gradually changing from ∼919 cm⁻¹ at ambient pressure to ∼890 cm⁻¹ at 6.18 GPa. The Ni end-member pyroxene [(Ca_0.93 Ni_0.07)NiSi₂O₆] has a spectrum different from all others. In addition to the above mentioned bands of Ni²⁺(M1) it displays several new relatively intense and broad extra bands, which were attributed to electronic transitions of Ni²⁺ at the M2 site. In difference to CaO₈ polyhedron geometry of an eightfold coordination, Ni²⁺(M2)O₈ polyhedra are assumed to be relatively large distorted octahedra. Due to different distortions and different compressibilities of the M1 and M2 sites the Ni²⁺(M1)- and Ni²⁺(M2)-bands display rather different pressure-induced behaviors, becoming more resolved in the high-pressure spectra than in that measured at atmospheric pressure. The octahedral compression modulus of Ni²⁺(M1) in this end-member pyroxene is evaluated as 150 ± 25 GPa, which is noticeably larger than in Ni_0.3 pyroxene. This is due to a smaller size and, thus, a stiffer character of Ni²⁺(M1)O₆ octahedron in the (Ca_0.93Ni_0.07)NiSi₂O₆ pyroxene compared to (Na_0.7Ca_0.3)(Sc_0.7Ni_0.3)Si₂O₆.

The stability and equation of state for the cotunnite phase in TiO₂ were investigated up to a pressure of about 70 GPa by high-pressure in situ X-ray diffraction measurements using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. The transition sequence under high pressure was rutile → α-PbO₂ phase → baddeleyite phase → OI phase → cotunnite phase with increasing pressure. The cotunnite phase was the most stable phase at pressures from 40 GPa to at least 70 GPa. The equation of state parameters for the cotunnite phase were established on the platinum scale using the volume data at pressures of 37–68 GPa after laser annealing, in which the St value, an indicator of the magnitude of the uniaxial stress component in the samples, indicates that these measurements were performed under quasi-hydrostatic conditions. The third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state at K ₀′ = 4.25 yields V ₀ = 15.14(5) cm³/mol and K ₀ = 294(9), and the second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yields V ₀ = 15.11(5) cm³/mol and K ₀ = 306(9). Therefore, we conclude that the bulk modulus for the cotunnite phase is not comparable to that of diamond.  相似文献   

Synthetic ANaB(Na x Li1 − x Mg1)CMg5Si8O22(OH)2 (with x = 0.6, 0.2 and 0) P21/m amphiboles at high pressure: a synchrotron infrared study

The high-pressure behavior of three synthetic amphiboles crystallized with space group P2₁/m at room conditions in the system Li₂O–Na₂O–MgO–SiO₂–H₂O has been studied by in situ synchrotron infrared absorption spectroscopy. The amphiboles have compositions ^ANa ^B(Na _x Li_1 − x Mg₁) ^CMg₅ Si₈ O₂₂(OH)₂ with x = 0.6, 0.2 and 0.0, respectively. The high-P experiments up to 32 GPa were carried out on the U2A beamline at Brookhaven National Laboratory (NY, USA) using a diamond anvil cell under non-hydrostatic or quasi-hydrostatic conditions. The two most intense absorption bands in the OH-stretching infrared spectra can be assigned to two non-equivalent O–H dipoles in the P2₁/m structure, bonded to the same local environment ^M1M3Mg₃–OH–^ANa, and pointing toward two differently kinked tetrahedral rings. In all samples these bands progressively merge to give a unique symmetrical absorption with increasing pressure, suggesting a change in symmetry from P2₁/m to C2/m. The pressure at which the transition occurs appears to be linearly correlated to the aggregate B-site dimension. The infrared spectra collected for amphibole ^B(Na_0.2Li_0.8Mg₁) in the frequency range 50 to 1,400 cm⁻¹ also show a series of changes with increasing pressure. The data reported here support the inference of Iezzi et al. (Am Miner 91:479–482, 2006a) regarding a new high-pressure amphibole polymorph.  相似文献   

Location and quantitative analysis of OH in coesite     

M. Koch-Müller  Y. Fei  E. Hauri  Z. Liu 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(10):693-705

 The incorporation of hydrogen (deuterium) into the coesite structure was investigated at pressures from 3.1 to 7.5 GPa and temperatures of 700, 800, and 1100 °C. Hydrogen could only be incorporated into the coesite structure at pressures greater 5.0 GPa and 1100 °C . No correlation between the concentration of trace elements such as Al and B and the hydrogen content was observed based on ion probe analysis (1335 ± 16 H ppm and 17 ± 1 Al ppm at 7.5 GPa, 1100 °C). The FTIR spectra show three relatively intense bands at 3575, 3516, and 3459 cm⁻¹ (ν₁ to ν₃, respectively) and two very weak bands at 3296 and 3210 cm⁻¹ (ν₄ and ν₅, respectively). The band at 3516 cm⁻¹ is strongly asymmetric and can be resolved into two bands, 3528 (ν_2a) and 3508 (ν_2b) cm⁻¹, with nearly identical areas. Polarized infrared absorption spectra of coesite single-crystal slabs, cut parallel to (0 1 0) and (1 0 0), were collected to locate the OH dipoles in the structure and to calibrate the IR spectroscopy for quantitative analysis of OH in coesite (ɛ _{i ,tot}=190 000 ± 30 000 l mol⁻¹ _H2O cm⁻²). The polarized spectra revealed a strong pleochroism of the OH bands. High-pressure FTIR spectra at pressures up to 8 GPa were performed in a diamond-anvil cell to gain further insight into incorporation mechanism of OH in coesite. The peak positions of the ν₁, ν₂, and ν₃ bands decrease linearly with pressure. The mode Grüneisen parameters for ν₁, ν₂, and ν₃ are −0.074, −0.144 and −0.398, respectively. There is a linear increase of the pressure derivatives with band position which follows the trend proposed by Hofmeister et al. (1999). The full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of the ν₁, ν₂, and ν₃ bands increase from 35, 21, and 28 cm⁻¹ in the spectra at ambient conditions to 71, 68, and 105 in the 8 GPa spectra, respectively. On the basis of these results, a model for the incorporation of hydrogen in coesite was developed: the OH defects are introduced into the structure by the substitution Si^4+(Si2)+4O²⁻= ^[4]□^(Si2) + 4OH⁻, which gives rise to four vibrations, ν₁, ν_2a, ν_2b, and ν₃. Because the OH(D)-bearing samples do contain traces of Al and B, the bands ν₄ and ν₅ may be coupled to Al and/or B substitution. Received: 19 December 2000 / Accepted: 23 April 2001  相似文献   

High-pressure and high-temperature Raman spectroscopic study of hydrous wadsleyite (β-Mg2SiO4)     

Xiaozhi Yang  Leonid Dubrovinsky  M. A. G. M. Manthilake  Qingguo Wei 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(1):57-64

In situ Raman spectra of hydrous wadsleyite (β-Mg₂SiO₄) with ~1.5 wt% H₂O, synthesized at 18 GPa and 1,400°C, have been measured in an externally heated diamond anvil cell up to 15.5 GPa and 673 K. With increasing pressure (at room temperature), the three most intense bands at ~549, 720 and 917 cm⁻¹ shift continuously to higher frequencies, while with increasing temperature at 14.5 GPa, these bands generally shift to lower frequencies. The temperature-induced frequency shifts at 14.5 GPa are significantly different from those at ambient pressure. Moreover, two new bands at ~714 and ~550 cm⁻¹ become progressively significant above 333 and 553 K, respectively, and disappear upon cooling to room temperature. No corresponding Raman modes of these two new bands were reported for wadsleyite at ambient conditions, and they are thus probably related to thermally activated processes (vibration modes) at high-pressure and temperature conditions.  相似文献   

Dehydration process and structural development of cordierite ceramic precursors derived from FTIR spectroscopic investigations     

D. Voll  A. Beran 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2002,29(8):545-551

 Cordierite precursors were prepared by a sol-gel process using tetraethoxysilane, aluminum sec.-butoxide, and Mg metal flakes as starting materials. The precursors were treated by 15-h heating steps in intervals of 100 °C from 200 to 900 °C; they show a continuous decrease in the analytical water content with increasing preheating temperatures. The presence of H₂O and (Si,Al)–OH combination modes in the FTIR powder spectra prove the presence of both H₂O molecules and OH groups as structural components, with invariable OH concentrations up to preheating temperatures of 500 °C. The deconvolution of the absorptions in the (H₂O,OH)-stretching vibrational region into four bands centred at 3584, 3415, 3216 and 3047 cm⁻¹ reveals non-bridging and bridging H₂O molecules and OH groups. The precursor powders remain X-ray amorphous up to preheating temperatures of 800 °C. Above this temperature the precursors crystallize to μ-cordierite; at 1000 °C the structure transforms to α-cordierite. Close similarities exist in the pattern of the 1400–400 cm⁻¹ lattice vibrational region for precursors preheated up to 600 °C. Striking differences are evident at preheating temperatures of 800 °C, where the spectrum of the precursor powder corresponds to that of conventional cordierite glass. Bands centred in the “as-prepared” precursor at 1137 and 1020 cm⁻¹ are assigned to Si–O-stretching vibrations. A weak absorption at 872 cm⁻¹ is assigned to stretching modes of AlO₄ tetrahedral units and the same assignment holds for a band at 783 cm⁻¹ which appears in precursors preheated at 600 °C. With increasing temperatures, these bands show a significant shift to higher wavenumbers and the Al–O stretching modes display a strong increase in their intensities. (Si,Al)–O–(Si,Al)-bending modes occur at 710 cm⁻¹ and the band at 572 cm⁻¹ is assigned to stretching vibrations of AlO₆ octahedral units. A strong band around 440 cm⁻¹ is essentially attributed to Mg–O-stretching vibrations. The strongly increasing intensity of the 872 and 783 cm⁻¹ bands demonstrates a clear preference of Al for a fourfold-coordinated structural position in the precursors preheated at high temperatures. The observed band shift is a strong indication for increasing tetrahedral network condensation along with changes in the Si–O and Al–O distances to tetrahedra dimensions similar to those occurring in crystalline cordierite. These structural changes are correlated to the dehydration process starting essentially above 500 °C, clearly demonstrating the inhibiting role of H₂O molecules and especially of OH groups.

Structure of magnetite (Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>) above the Curie temperature: a cation ordering study     

Davide?LevyEmail author  Roberto?Giustetto  Andreas?Hoser 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(2):169-176

A pristine magnetite (Fe₃O₄) specimen was studied by means of Neutron Powder Diffraction in the 273–1,073 K temperature range, in order to characterize its structural and magnetic behavior at high temperatures. An accurate analysis of the collected data allowed the understanding of the behavior of the main structural and magnetic features of magnetite as a function of temperature. The magnetic moments of both tetrahedral and octahedral sites were extracted by means of magnetic diffraction up to the Curie temperature (between 773 and 873 K). A change in the thermal expansion coefficient around the Curie temperature together with an increase in the oxygen coordinate value above 700 K can be observed, both features being the result of a change in the thermal expansion of the tetrahedral site. This anomaly is not related to the magnetic transition but can be explained with an intervened cation reordering, as magnetite gradually transforms from a disordered configuration into a partially ordered one. Based on a simple model which takes into account the cation-oxygen bond length, the degree of order as a function of temperature and consequently the enthalpy and entropy of the reordering process were determined. The refined values are ΔH⁰ = −23.2(1.7) kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS⁰ = −16(2) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. These results are in perfect agreement with values reported in literature (Mack et al. in Solid State Ion 135(1–4):625–630, 2000; Wu and Mason in J Am Ceramic Soc 64(9):520–522, 1981).  相似文献   

P–V–T equation of state of Ca₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂ grossular garnet     

Steeve Gréaux  Yoshio Kono  Norimasa Nishiyama  Takehiro Kunimoto  Kouhei Wada  Tetsuo Irifune 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(2):85-94

The thermoelastic parameters of synthetic Ca₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂ grossular garnet were examined in situ at high-pressure and high-temperature by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction, using a Kawai-type multi-anvil press apparatus coupled with synchrotron radiation. Measurements have been conducted at pressures up to 20 GPa and temperatures up to 1,650 K: this P, T range covered the entire high-P, T stability field of grossular garnet. The analysis of room temperature data yielded V _0,300 = 1,664 ± 2 ?³ and K ₀ = 166 ± 3 GPa for K^￠₀ K^{\prime}_{0} fixed to 4.0. Fitting of our P–V–T data by means of the high-temperature third order Birch–Murnaghan or the Mie–Grüneisen–Debye thermal equations of state, gives the thermoelastic parameters: (∂K _0,T /∂T) _P  = −0.019 ± 0.001 GPa K⁻¹ and α _0,T  = 2.62 ± 0.23 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹, or γ ₀ = 1.21 for fixed values q ₀ = 1.0 and θ ₀ = 823 (Isaak et al. Phys Chem Min19:106–120, 1992). From the comparison of fits from two different approaches, we propose to constrain the bulk modulus of grossular garnet and its pressure derivative to K _T0 = 166 GPa and K^￠_T0 K^{\prime}_{T0}  = 4.03–4.35. Present results are compared with previously determined thermoelastic properties of grossular-rich garnets.  相似文献
