A workflow is described to estimate specific storage (S s) and hydraulic conductivity (K) from a profile of vibrating wire piezometers embedded into a regional aquitard in Australia. The loading efficiency, compressibility and S s were estimated from pore pressure response to atmospheric pressure changes, and K was estimated from the earliest part of the measurement record following grouting. Results indicate that S s and K were, respectively, 8.8?×?10?6 to 1.2?×?10?5 m?1 and 2?×?10?12 m s?1 for a claystone/siltstone, and 4.3?×?10?6 to 9.6?×?10?6 m?1 and 1?×?10?12 to 5?×?10?12 m s?1 for a thick mudstone. K estimates from the pore pressure response are within one order of magnitude when compared to direct measurement in a laboratory and inverse modelled flux rates determined from natural tracer profiles. Further analysis of the evolution and longevity of the properties of borehole grout (e.g. thermal and chemical effects) may help refine the estimation of formation hydraulic properties using this workflow. However, the convergence of K values illustrates the benefit of multiple lines of evidence to support aquitard characterization. An additional benefit of in situ pore pressure measurement is the generation of long-term data to constrain groundwater flow models, which provides a link between laboratory scale data and the formation scale.  相似文献

We present new partition coefficients for various trace elements including Cl between olivine, pyroxenes, amphibole and coexisting chlorine-bearing aqueous fluid in a series of high-pressure experiments at 2 GPa between 900 and 1,300 °C in natural and synthetic systems. Diamond aggregates were added to the experimental capsule set-up in order to separate the fluid from the solid residue and enable in situ analysis of the quenched solute by LA–ICP–MS. The chlorine and fluorine contents in mantle minerals were measured by electron microprobe, and the nature of OH defects was investigated by infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, a fluorine-rich olivine from one selected sample was investigated by TEM. Results reveal average Cl concentrations in olivine and pyroxenes around 20 ppm and up to 900 ppm F in olivine, making olivine an important repository of halogens in the mantle. Chlorine is always incompatible with Cl partition coefficients D Cl olivine/fluid varying between 10?5 and 10?3, whereas D Cl orthopyroxene/fluid and D Cl clinopyroxene/fluid are ~10?4 and D Cl amphibole/fluid is ~5 × 10?3. Furthermore, partitioning results for incompatible trace element show that compatibilities of trace elements are generally ordered as D amph/fluid ≈ D cpx/fluid > D opx/fluid > D ol/fluid but that D mineral/fluid for Li and P is very similar for all observed silicate phases. Infrared spectra of olivine synthesized in a F-free Ti-bearing system show absorption bands at 3,525 and ~3,570 cm?1. In F ± TiO2-bearing systems, additional absorption bands appear at ~3,535, ~3,595, 3,640 and 3,670 cm?1. Absorption bands at ~3,530 and ~3,570 cm?1, previously assigned to humite-like point defects, profit from low synthesis temperatures and the presence of F. The presence of planar defects could not be proved by TEM investigations, but dislocations in the olivine lattice were observed and are suggested to be an important site for halogen incorporation in olivine.  相似文献

4He accumulated in fluids is a well established geochemical tracer used to study crustal fluid dynamics. Direct fluid samples are not always collectable; therefore, a method to extract rare gases from matrix fluids of whole rocks by diffusion has been adapted. Helium was measured on matrix fluids extracted from sandstones and mudstones recovered during the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) drilling in California, USA. Samples were typically collected as subcores or from drillcore fragments. Helium concentration and isotope ratios were measured 4?C6 times on each sample, and indicate a bulk 4He diffusion coefficient of 3.5?±?1.3?×?10?C8 cm2?s?C1 at 21°C, compared to previously published diffusion coefficients of 1.2?×?10?C18 cm2?s?C1 (21°C) to 3.0?×?10?C15 cm2?s?C1 (150°C) in the sands and clays. Correcting the diffusion coefficient of 4Hewater for matrix porosity (??3%) and tortuosity (??6?C13) produces effective diffusion coefficients of 1?×?10?C8 cm2?s?C1 (21°C) and 1?×?10?C7 (120°C), effectively isolating pore fluid 4He from the 4He contained in the rock matrix. Model calculations indicate that <6% of helium initially dissolved in pore fluids was lost during the sampling process. Complete and quantitative extraction of the pore fluids provide minimum in situ porosity values for sandstones 2.8?±?0.4% (SD, n?=?4) and mudstones 3.1?±?0.8% (SD, n?=?4).  相似文献

The measurement of diffusion coefficients for Na, K, Rb and Cs has been realized by the technique of active salt deposits on glasses of albite and orthoclase composition, at normal pressure and in the temperature range 300–1000°C. The values of D are between 10?6 and 10?12 cm2 s?1 and, for every type of run, they vary with temperature according to Arrhenius laws, with activation energies ranging from 13 to 68 kcal mole?1. These important variations are related to the size of the diffusing element (at 700°C in albite glass DNa/DK/DRbDCs ~- 107/105/103/1) and to the size of the major alkali element (for rubidium at 800°C Dor·gl/Dab·gl ~- 20). By comparison with available data on diffusion in feldspars, we emphasize the influence of the defect density on the diffusion process.  相似文献

Our analysis of many years of infrared photometry of the unique object FG Sge indicates that the dust envelope formed around the supergiant in August 1992 is spherically symmetrical and contains compact, dense dust clouds. The emission from the spherically symmetrical dust envelope is consistent with the observed radiation from the star at 3.5–5 µm, and the presence of the dust clouds can explain the radiation observed at 1.25–2.2 µm. The mean integrated flux from the dust envelope in 1992–2001 was ~(1.0±0.2)×10?8 erg s?1cm?2. The variations of its optical depth in 1992–2001 were within 0.5–1.0. The maximum density of the dust envelope was recorded in the second half of 1993 and corresponded to mean optical depths as high as unity. Several times in the interval from 1992 to 2001, the dusty material of the envelope partially dissipated and was then replenished. For example, the optical depth of the dust cloud at λ=1.25 µm during the last brigthness minimum in the J band was τ1.25≈4.3, which is much higher than the optical depth of the dust envelope of FG Sge. During maxima of the J brightness, the mean spectral energy distribution at 0.36–5 µm can be represented as a combination of radiation from a G0 supergiant that is attenuated by a dust envelope with a mean optical depth of 0.65±0.15 and emission from the spherically symmetrical dust envelope itself, with the temperature of the graphite grains being 750±150 K. At minima of the J brightness, only radiation from the dust envelope is observed at 1.65–5 µm, with the radiation from the supergiant barely detectable at 1.25 µm. As a result, the integrated flux during J minima is almost half that during J maxima. The mean mass of the spherically symmetrical dust envelope of FG Sge in 1992–2001 was (3 ± 1) × 10?7M. This envelope’s mass varied by nearly a factor of two during 1992–2001, in the range (2 – 4) × 10?7M. In Autumn 1992, the mass-loss rate from the supergiant exceeded 2 × 10?7M/yr. The average rate at which matter was injected into the envelope during 1993–2001 was 10?8M/yr. The mean rate of dissipation of the dust envelope was about 1 × 10?8M/yr. During 1992–2001, the supergiant lost about 8.7 × 10?7M. The parameters of the dust envelope were relatively constant from 1999 until the middle of 2001.  相似文献

The heat capacity of natural chamosite (XFe=0.889) and clinochlore (XFe=0.116) were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction, microprobe analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. DSC measurements between 143 and 623?K were made following the procedure of Bosenick et?al. (1996). The fitted data for natural chamosite (CA) in J?mol?1?K?1 give: C p,CA = 1224.3–10.685?×?103?×?T ??0.5???6.4389?× 106T ??2?+?8.0279?×?108?×?T ??3 and for the natural clinochlore (CE): C p,CE = 1200.5–10.908?×?103T ??0.5?? 5.6941?×?106?×?T ??2?+?7.1166?×?108?×?T ??3. The corrected C p-polynomial for pure end-member chamosite (Fe5Al)[Si3AlO10](OH)8 is C p,CAcor = 1248.3–11.116?× 103?×?T ??0.5???5.1623?×?106?×?T ??2?+?7.1867?×?108×T ??3 and the corrected C p-polynomial for pure end-member clinochlore (Mg5Al)[Si3AlO10](OH)8 is C p,CEcor = 1191.3–10.665?×?103?×?T ??0.5???6.5136?×?106?×?T ??2?+ 7.7206?×?108?×?T ??3. The corrected C p-polynomial for clinochlore is in excellent agreement with that in the internally consistent data sets of Berman (1988) and Holland and Powell (1998). The derived C p-polynomial for chamosite (C p,CAcor) leads to a 4.4% higher heat capacity, at 300?K, compared to that estimated by Holland and Powell (1998) based on a summation method. The corrected C p-polynomial (C p,CAcor) is, however, in excellent agreement with the computed C p-polynomial given by Saccocia and Seyfried (1993), thus supporting the reliability of Berman and Brown's (1985) estimation method of heat capacities.  相似文献

The kinetics of oxygen isotope self-diffusion in natural samples of hornblende, tremolite, and richterite have been measured. Samples were run under hydrothermal conditions using 18O enriched water. Profiles of 18O(16O + 18O)vs depth into the crystal were obtained using an ion microprobe; the depths of sputtered holes were measured using an optical interferometer. At 1000 bars (100 MPa) water pressure, the activation energies (Q) and pre-exponential factors (D0) for diffusion parallel to c are: D0(cm2/sec) Q (kcal/gm-atom) T (°C) Hornblende 1+20?1 × 10?741 ± 6 650–800 Tremolite 2+30?2× 10?8 39 ± 5 650–800 Richterite 3+5?2 × 10?4 57 ± 2 650–800The diffusion coefficient (D) for hornblende at 800°C and 1000 bars water pressure measured parallel to the c crystallographic direction is at least ten times greater than that parallel to the a or b directions. An increase in water pressure from 200 to 2000 bars increases D by a factor of 2.7 for diffusion parallel to c at 800°C. The D value for hornblende at 800°C is about 0.01 that for quartz and 0.001 that for anorthite. As a result, closure temperatures for oxygen exchange in natural primary amphiboles are significantly higher than for quartz or feldspars. It is unlikely that amphiboles will exchange oxygen isotopes by diffusion under most crustal conditions.  相似文献

The experimental rate constant of dissolution of oligoclase, 1.7 × 10 ? 2 mol · m?2 · s?1 (Busenberg and Clemency, 1976), is compared with rate constants, 5.2 × 10?15 to 6.8 × 10?13 mol · m?2· s?1, derived from mass-balance measurements of sodium in hydrological catchments. The wide range of the field-based rate constants mainly reflects the uncertainty in the evaluation of the specific wetted surface of rock in aquifer. The most probable order of magnitude of the field rate constant is 10?14 mol · m?2· s?1. The difference between the experimental and field rate constant is only partly caused by lower temperature and lowerPCO2 in the aquifer. The main reason for the discrepancy is the diverse history of the mineral surfaces undergoing reaction.It is suggested that the feldspar surfaces in an aquifer are old, compared to those of feldspars utilized in laboratory experiments. They have fewer defects and are smooth. The fresh surfaces of feldspars studied in the laboratory consist of many kinks and ledges and small-area terraces which dissolve faster.The differences in rate constants derived from field data on several specific catchments indicate that the anthropogenic processes which have operated during this century in Central Europe speed up the rate of dissolution by a factor of three. Modern agricultural practices speed up the rate by a factor of five.  相似文献

The spectral energy distribution in the far infrared and the shape of a broad emission band in the spectrum of R Cas at 9–13 µm can be reproduced in a model with a dust envelope consisting of approximately half amorphous olivine (Mg0.8Fe1.2SiO4) and half amorphous aluminum-oxide grains (Al2O3), with a small admixture of spinel grains (MgAl2O4). The dust envelope’s optical depth τ(50 µm) is ≈5×10?3 [τ(1.25 µm)≈0.07 for a gr≈0.05 µm], and its mass within r≤0.025 pc M dust is ≈8×10?6 M . The index α in the power-law radial dust distribution, n d ∝(R +/r)α, is ≈1.8. Over the last several thousand years, the mass-loss rate of R Cas has been decreasing as $\dot M(t) \propto t^{0.2} $ (where time is measured backward from the present). This probably implies that R Cas experienced a thermal helium flare several thousand years ago. If M gas/M dust≈200 (where M gas is the gas mass), the mean mass-loss rate of the star is $\dot M \approx 6 \times 10^{ - 7} M_ \odot /yr$ .  相似文献

The distribution equilibrium of Au and Re between nickel-iron and basaltic melts was studied at 1400–1600°C, using radioactive tracers. Metal/silicate distribution coefficients were 1–3 orders of magnitude higher than earlier estimates, as follows. Mauna Loa basalt—Fe10Ni90: DAu = 3.3 × 104, DRe = (2.4?89) × 104. Gorda Ridge basalt—Fe10Ni90: DAu = (18?75) × 104. Synthetic lunar basalt—Fe70 Ni30: DAu≥ 2 × 104, DRe ≥ 2 × 103. The experimental ΔG1800° for the distribution of Au between nickel-iron and Mauna Loa basalt is ?40 kcal/mole, compared to a calculated value of about ?110 kcal/mole for a reaction involving simple Au3+ ions. Presumably the difference represents stabilization of Au(III) by complex formation with ligands such as Cl?, H2O, etc.Gold abundances in lunar basalts are roughly consistent with the measured DAu, but those in terrestrial basalts are two orders of magnitude too high. This discrepancy may reflect complexing by volatiles in the Earth's upper lithosphere, as well as oxidative destruction of metal in the final stages of accretion. In the absence of a metal phase, siderophile trace elements would remain trapped in the upper mantle and crust.  相似文献

Thermal inertia (I) is an important parameter in the Earth’s thermal study. There is no doubt that correct and up-to-date knowledge of thermal inertia particularly as it is affected by the land use/cover will provide good and useful information to agriculturists and environmental scientists. In this work, thermal inertia of Abeokuta City of Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria, was determined. Map of the study area was gridded using 2-min resolution which gave 5 × 5 sampling points from where core samples were collected. Bulk density (ρ s ), thermal conductivity (λ s ), and heat capacity (C s ) of the samples were determined. The pattern of variation of the city view of I (in the order of ×103 Jm?2 s?1/2 K?1) showed that the main urban built-up part of the study area, Abeokuta South, had the highest I mean, 0.76160 with standard deviation of 0.032547 and standard error of 0.01455541. The trend also varied along each sampling latitudinal line. It ranges between 0.509 and 0.756 on latitude 7° 14′, 0.557 and 0.768 on latitude 7° 12′, 0.642 and 0.782 on latitude 7° 10′, 0.7 and 0.794 on latitude 7° 08′, and between 0.642 and 0.728 on latitude 7° 06′. Hence, we have estimated thermal inertia of Abeokuta using the thermophysical properties of the study area. Thermal inertia tends to gradually decrease with distance from the city center (Abeokuta South). This result is promising in possible future consideration of urban ground heat energy conversion to other forms of energy.  相似文献

MgSiO3 akimotoite is stable relative to majorite-garnet under low-temperature geotherms within steeply or rapidly subducting slabs. Two compositions of Mg–akimotoite were synthesized under similar conditions: Z674 (containing about 550 ppm wt H2O) was synthesized at 22 GPa and 1,500 °C and SH1101 (nominally anhydrous) was synthesized at 22 GPa and 1,250 °C. Crystal structures of both samples differ significantly from previous studies to give slightly smaller Si sites and larger Mg sites. The bulk thermal expansion coefficients of Z674 are (153–839 K) of a 1 = 20(3) × 10?9 K?2 and a 0 = 17(2) × 10?6 K?1, with an average of α 0 = 27.1(6) × 10?6 K?1. Compressibility at ambient temperature of Z674 was measured up to 34.6 GPa at Sector 13 (GSECARS) at Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory. The second-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state (BM2 EoS) fitting yields: V 0 = 263.7(2) Å3, K T0 = 217(3) GPa (K′ fixed at 4). The anisotropies of axial thermal expansivities and compressibilities are similar: α a  = 8.2(3) and α c  = 10.68(9) (10?6 K?1); β a  = 11.4(3) and β c  = 15.9(3) (10?4 GPa). Hydration increases both the bulk thermal expansivity and compressibility, but decreases the anisotropy of structural expansion and compression. Complementary Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy shows multiple structural hydration sites. Low-temperature and high-pressure FTIR spectroscopy (15–300 K and 0–28 GPa) confirms that the multiple sites are structurally unique, with zero-pressure intrinsic anharmonic mode parameters between ?1.02 × 10?5 and +1.7 × 10?5 K?1, indicating both weak hydrogen bonds (O–H···O) and strong OH bonding due to long O···O distances.  相似文献

The structure of the ejector region in the active star-forming region Orion KL has been studied over a broad dynamic range with a high angular resolution of 0.1 milliarcsec, or 0.05 AU. The line profile of the H2O supermaser emission has broad wings and can be represented as a superposition of two Gaussians with frequency widths Δf1=31 kHz and Δf2=163 kHz. The line intensities are I1≈3×105 Jy/beam and I2≈400 Jy/beam, and the brightness temperatures, Tb1≈5×1016 K and Tb2≈6×1014 K. The broadband ejector emission is determined by a rotating bipolar outflow with a rotational period of 5 months. The ejector emission in the 31-kHz component at a velocity of 7.64 km/s is amplified by more than two orders of magnitude by the surrounding envelope. The maser amplification regime is partially saturated.  相似文献

Sized aggregates of glasses (47–84 wt% SiO2) were fused from igneous-derived cohesive fault rock and igneous rock, and step-heated from ~400 to >1,200 °C to obtain their 39Ar diffusion properties (average E=33,400 cal mol?1; D o=4.63×10?3 cm2 s?1). At T<~1,000 °C, glasses containing <~69 wt% SiO2 and abundant network-forming cations (Ca, Fe, Mg) reveal moderate to strong non-linear increases in D and E, reflecting structural modifications as the solid transitions to melt. Extrapolation of these Arrhenius properties down to typical geologic T-t conditions could result in a 1.5 log10 unit underestimation in the diffusion rate of Ar in similar materials. Numerical simulations based upon the diffusion results caution that some common geologic glasses will likely yield 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages rather than formation ages. However, if cooling rates are sufficiently high, ambient temperatures are sufficiently low (e.g., <65–175 °C), and coarse particles (e.g., radius (r) >~1 mm) are analyzed, glasses with compositions similar to ours may preserve their formation ages.  相似文献

Ground waters in a Precambrian granitic batholith at the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE) in Pinawa, Manitoba contain between 5 × 10?5 and 10?1 cc STP/gH2O of radiogenic helium-4 but have relatively uniform 3He/4He ratios of between 0.6 × 10?8 and 2.3 × 103. The highest helium samples also contain radiogenic 21,22Ne produced by (α,n) or (n,α) reactions with other isotopes. As much as 1.8 × 10?9ccSTP/gH2O of excess 21Ne and 3.8 × 10?9ccSTP/gH2O of excess 22Ne have been measured. Helium and 21Ne ages of these ground waters, calculated on the basis of known crustal production rates of 4He and 21Ne, are unreasonably high (up to 2 × 105 years) and incompatible with the 14C ages and other isotopic and hydrogeologic data. Uranium enrichment in the flow porosity of the granite may dominate 4He and 21,22Ne production in this granite and mask the contributions from more typical U and Th concentrations in the rock matrix.At the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in Ontario helium concentrations in ground waters in a Precambrian monzonitic gneiss range from 1.5 × 10?7 to 8.7 × 10?4ccSTP/gH2O with the 3He/4He ratios ranging from 2.0 × 10?3 to 1.5 × 10?7. The highest helium concentrations may be attributable to the presence of a thick uraniferous pegmatite vein and yield helium ages more than two orders of magnitude higher than the 14C ages. Application of He age dating equations to ground waters from Precambrian granitic rocks requires knowledge of the nature of uranium and thorium enrichment in the subsurface in order to select appropriate values for porosity and uranium and thorium concentration in the rock.  相似文献

We have investigated the effect of undercooling and deformation on the evolution of the texture and the crystallization kinetics of remelted basaltic material from Stromboli (pumice from the March 15, 2007 paroxysmal eruption) and Etna (1992 lava flow). Isothermal crystallization experiments were conducted at different degrees of undercooling and different applied strain rate (T = 1,157–1,187 °C and $ \dot{\gamma }_{i} $ γ · i  = 4.26 s?1 for Stromboli; T = 1,131–1,182 °C and $ \dot{\gamma }_{i} $ γ · i  = 0.53 s?1 for Etna). Melt viscosity increased due to the decrease in temperature and the increase in crystal content. The mineralogical assemblage comprises Sp + Plg (dominant) ± Cpx with an overall crystal fraction (?) between 0.06 and 0.27, increasing with undercooling and flow conditions. Both degree of undercooling and deformation rate deeply affect the kinetics of the crystallization process. Plagioclase nucleation incubation time strongly decreases with increasing ΔT and flow, while slow diffusion-limited growth characterizes low ΔT—low deformation rate experiments. Both Stromboli (high strain rate) and Etna (low strain rate) plagioclase growth rates (G) display relative small variations with Stromboli showing higher values (4.8 ± 1.9 × 10?9 m s?1) compared to Etna (2.1 ± 1.6 × 10?9 m s?1). Plagioclase average nucleation rates J continuously increase with undercooling from 1.4 × 106 to 6.7 × 106 m?3 s?1 for Stromboli and from 3.6 × 104 to 4.0 × 106 m?3 s?1 for Etna. The extremely low value of 3.6 × 104 m?3 s?1 recorded at the lowest undercooling experiment for Etna (ΔT = 20 °C) indicates that the crystallization process is growth-dominated and that possible effects of textural coarsening occur. G values obtained in this paper are generally one or two orders of magnitude higher compared to those obtained in the literature for equivalent undercooling conditions. Stirring of the melt, simulating magma flow or convective conditions, facilitates nucleation and growth of crystals via mechanical transportation of matter, resulting in the higher J and G observed. Any modeling pertaining to magma dynamics in the conduit (e.g., ascent rate) and lava flow emplacement (e.g., flow rate, pāhoehoe–‘a‘ā transition) should therefore take the effects of dynamic crystallization into account.  相似文献

The kinetics of zoned garnet porphyroblast growth is exemplified in a sample of garnet-staurolite-biotite schist from the northern Ladoga region. The diffusion-controlled porphyroblast growth was accompanied by a decrease in the kinetic coefficient during phase reactions. Even at insignificant (1–2°C) thermal overstepping, the leading role of diffusion as a factor that controls kinetics of porphyroblast growth in medium-grade metapelites is consistent with the parameters of metamorphic crystallization: T = 500–650°C, t = 1 Ma; D A1 app = 10?14 cm2/s, L = 0.2–0.6 cm, r = 1–3 mm, ΔC Al = 1.5 × 10?4–1.5 × 10?3 mol/cm3.  相似文献

The effect of ion beam irradiations on the elastic properties of hydrous cordierite was investigated by means of Raman and X-ray diffraction experiments. Oriented single crystals were exposed to swift heavy ions (Au, Bi) of various specific energies (10.0–11.1 MeV/u and 80 MeV/u), applying fluences up to 5 × 1013 ions/cm2. The determination of unit-cell constants yields a volume strain of 3.4 × 10?3 up to the maximum fluence, which corresponds to a compression of non-irradiated cordierite at ~480 ± 10 MPa. The unit-cell contraction is anisotropic (e 1 = 1.4 ± 0.1 × 10?3, e 2 = 1.5 ± 0.1 × 10?3, and e 3 = 7 ± 1 × 10?4) with the c-axis to shrink only half as much as the axes within the ab-plane. The lattice elasticity for irradiated cordierite (? = 1 × 1012 ions/cm2) was determined from single-crystal XRD measurements in the diamond anvil cell. The fitted third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation-of-state parameters of irradiated cordierite (V 0 = 1548.41 ± 0.16 Å3, K 0 = 117.1 ± 1.1 GPa, ?K/?P = ?0.6 ± 0.3) reveal a 10–11 % higher compressibility compared to non-irradiated cordierite. While the higher compressibility is attributed to the previously reported irradiation-induced loss of extra-framework H2O, the anomalous elasticity as expressed by elastic softening (β a ?1 , β b ?1 , β c ?1  = 397 ± 9, 395 ± 28, 308 ± 11 GPa, ?(β ?1)/?P = ?4.5 ± 2.7, ?6.6 ± 8.4, ?5.4 ± 3.0) appears to be related to the framework stability and to be independent of the water content in the channels and thus of the ion beam exposure.  相似文献

The mixing of metals in the intergalactic gas when a galaxy with a metal-rich envelope moves through the intergalactic medium is analyzed. Two simple models for the initial distribution of metals are considered. In the first case, the metals are concentrated in a fairly thin envelope with thickness ΔR s =1 kpc, outer radius R s =31 kpc, and metallicity Z=10?3. In the second case, material with the same metallicity uniformly fills an entire spherical region of radius R s . After 2.85 Gyr, the metals are distributed over a fairly extended volume with a typical size of ?200 kpc in the direction of the motion of the intergalactic gas, with a mean metallicity of ?4.6×10?4 in metal-enriched regions. However, the distribution of metals remains extremely nonuniform, so that the main contribution to the overall metallicity is provided by metal-rich islands Z?6×10?4 that occupy only ~10% of the total mixing volume. Moreover, metal-free regions remain in this volume.  相似文献

Constraining magnitudes of mechanical and thermo-mechanical parameters of rocks and shear zones are the important goals in structural geology and tectonics (Talbot in J Struct Geol 21:949–957, 1999). Such parameters aid dynamic scaling of analogue tectonic models (Ramberg in Gravity, deformation and the Earth’s crust in theory, experiments and geological applications, 2nd edn. Academic Press, London, 1981), which are useful to unravel tectonics in further details (Schultz-Ela and Walsh in J Struct Geol 24:247–275, 2002). The channel flow extrusion of the Higher Himalayan Shear Zone (HHSZ, = Higher Himalaya) can be explained by a top-to-S/SW simple shear (i.e. the D2 deformation) in combination with a pressure gradient induced flow against gravity. Presuming its Newtonian incompressible rheology with parallel inclined boundaries, the viscosity (μ) of this shear zone along a part of the Himalayan chain through India, Nepal and Bhutan is estimated to vary widely between ~1016 and 1023 Pa s, and its Prandtl number (P r ) within ~1021–1028. The estimates utilized ranges of known thickness (6–58 km) of the HHSZ, that of its top subzone of ductile shear of normal shear sense (STDSU: 0.35–9.4 km), total rate of slip of its two boundaries (0.7–131 mm year?1), pressure gradient (0.02–6 kb km?1), density (2.2–3.1 g cm?3) and thermal diffusivity (0.5 × 10?6–2.1 × 10?6 m s?2) along the orogenic trend. Considering most of the parameters specifically for the Sutlej section (India), the calculated viscosity (μ) and the Prandtl number (P r ) of the HHSZ are deduced to be μ: ~1017–1023 Pa s and P r  ~ 1022–1028. The upper limits of the estimated viscosity ranges are broadly in conformity with a strong Tibetan mid-crust from where a part of the HHSZ rocks extruded. On the other hand, their complete ranges match with those for its constituent main rock types and partly with those for the superstructure and the infrastructure. The estimated mechanical and thermo-mechanical parameters of the HHSZ will help to build dynamically scaled analogue models for the Himalayan deformation of the D2–phase.  相似文献
