Porcelain wares have been produced following the directions contained in the Heylyn and Frye patent of 1744, using Cherokee clay and a lime‐alkali glass frit. The wares were fired to the bisque (˜ 950°C), glazed using a clay‐glass mixture, and then fired to a “heat‐work” level of Orton cone 9–90° deflection at 150°C per hour (1279°C). Modal mineralogy comprises Caplagioclase and two glass phases, one relict frit and the other a melt phase. The bulk chemistry of the body comprises 64.3 wt % SiO2, 21.7 wt % Al2O3, and 5.6 wt % CaO. Molecular ratios are SiO2:Al2O3 5.0 and SiO2:CaO 10.7. It is concluded that the patent, whose significance has been questioned over many years, was a practical working recipe, that close comparison may be made with porcelains of the “A”‐marked group, and that the patent represents a remarkable landmark in English ceramic history. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Viscosity measurements are reported for amorphous silica and liquids belonging to the systems SiO2-M, SiO2-Al2O3-M, where M is an alkali-earth metal oxide, MnO, or alumina, and the systems SiO2-“FeO”, SiO2-FeO-Fe2O3-CaO, and SiO2-Al2O3-N, where N = Na2O or K2O. The implications of these measurements concerning the coordination of Al and the structure of these liquids are briefly discussed. Stable liquids in the systems SiO2-Al2O2-M show a non-Arrhenian temperature dependence of their viscosity, in general. Results obtained with empirical methods to calculate the viscosity of silicate liquids are compared with our observations.  相似文献

In this paper we present a theoretical investigation of the structures and relative stability of the olivine and spinel phases of Mg2SiO4. We use both a purely ionic model, based on the Modified Electron Gas (MEG) model of intermolecular forces, and a bond polarization model, developed for low pressure silica phases, to investigate the role of covalency in these compounds. The standard MEG ionic model gives adequate structural results for the two phases but incorrectly predicts the spinel phase to be more stable at zero pressure. This is mainly because the ionic modeling of Mg2SiO4 only accounts for 95 percent of the lattice energy. The remainder can be attributed to covalency and many-body effects. An extension of the MEG ionic model using “many-body” pair potentials corrects the phase stability error, but predicts structures which are in poorer agreement with experiment than the standard ionic approach. In addition, calculations using these many-body pair potentials can only account for 10 percent of the missing lattice energy. This model predicts an olivine-spinel phase transition of 8 GPa, below the experimental value of 20 GPa. Therefore, in order to understand more fully the stability of these structures we must consider polarization. A two-shell bond polarization model enhances the stability of both structures, with the olivine structure being stabilized more. This model predicts a phase transition at about 80 GPa, well above the observed value. Also, the olivine and spinel structures calculated with this approach are in poorer agreement with experiment than the ionic model. Therefore, based on our investigations, to properly model covalency in Mg2SiO4, a treatment more sophisticated than the two-shell model is needed.  相似文献

Eight phosphatic porcelain sherds recovered from various historical sites in Charleston were analyzed by electron microprobe. Some sherds contain sulfur (2.3–3.1wt.% SO3); others contain only traces of this component. The analytical data suggest that the sulfurous sherds are Bow porcelain (London, Bowcock period, ca. 1755–1769). The origin(s) of the low‐S samples remains unidentified; one compositionally resembles “gold‐anchor period” (phosphatic) Chelsea porcelain (London, ca. 1756–1769) but its decoration is inconsistent with known wares produced by this factory during that era. The degree of vitrification is highly variable, particularly among the SO3‐poor samples. The melt phase is strongly enriched in incompatible elements (Ti, Fe, Na, K). The phosphate phase [calcined bone ash (hydroxyapatite)] in poorly vitrified samples hosts minute melt blebs, but remains porous. With increasing vitrification, these melt blebs increase in size and begin to coalesce, ultimately forming ameboid patches up to ∼10 μm in diameter. In the most vitrified samples, the coalesced melt “leaks” into the matrix, leaving behind a phosphate phase that lacks pores and melt and has a lower CaO/P2O5 ratio (=2.7, molecular proportions) than either hydroxyapatite (3.3) or β‐whitlockite (3.0). The two varieties of phosphate occur in some poorly vitrified samples, suggesting the recycling of high‐fired wasters (as “grog”) in their ceramic pastes. Melt compositions vary with contiguous mineralogy, accounting for their divergence from the ternary eutectic in the Ca3(PO4)2‐CaAl2Si2O8‐SiO2 system. The resorption of phosphate by the matrix melt virtually precludes recognition of anorthite formed by the “non‐phosphate glass equation.” © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Experiments on the join Al2SiO5-“Mn2SiO5” of the system Al2O3-SiO2-MnO-MnO2 in the pressure/temperature range 10–20 kb/900–1050° C with gem quality andalusite, Mn2O3, and high purity SiO2 as starting materials and using /O2-buffer techniques to preserve the Mn3+ oxidation state had following results: At 20 kb/1000°C orange-yellow kyanite mixed crystals are formed. The kyanite solid solubility is limited at about (Al1.88Mn 0.12 3+ )SiO5 and, thus, equals approximately that on the join Al2SiO5-“Fe2SiO5” (Langer and Frentrup, 1973) indicating that there is no Jahn-Teller stabilisation of Mn3+ in the kyanite matrix. 5 mole % substitution causes the kyanite lattice constants a o, b o, c o, and V o to increase by 0.015, 0.009, 0.014 Å, and 1.6 Å3, resp., while α, β, γ, remain unchanged. Between 10 and 18 kb/900°C, Mn3+-substituted, strongly pleochroitic (emeraldgreen-yellow) andalusitess (viridine) was obtained. At 15 kb/900°C, the viridine compositional range is about (Al1.86Mn 0.14 3+ )SiO5-(Al1.56Mn 0,44 3+ )SiO5. Thus, Al→Mn3+ substitutional degrees are appreciably higher in andalusite than in kyanite, proving a strong Jahn-Teller effect of Mn3+ in the andalusite structure, which stabilises this structure type at the expense of kyanite and sillimanite and, thus, enlarges its PT-stability range extremely. 17 mole % substitution cause the andalusite constants a o, b o, c o, and V o to increase by 0.118, 0.029, 0.047 Å and 9.4 Å3, resp. At “Mn2SiO5”-contents smaller than about 7 mole %, viridine coexists with Mn-poor kyanite. At “Mn2SiO5”-concentrations higher than the maximum kyanite or viridine miscibility, braunite (tetragonal, ideal formula Mn2+Mn3+[O8/Si04]), pyrolusite and SiO2 were found to coexist with the Mn3+-saturated ky ss or and ss, respectively. In both cases, braunites were Al-substituted (about 1 Al for 1 Mn3+). Pure synthetic braunites had the lattice constants a o 9.425, c o, 18.700 Å, V o 1661.1 Å3 (ideal compn.) and a o 9.374, c o 18.593 Å3, V o 1633.6 Å3 (1 Al for 1 Mn3+). Stable coexistence of the Mn2+-bearing phase braunite with the Mn4+-bearing phase pyrolusite was proved by runs in the limiting system MnO-MnO2-SiO2.  相似文献

Olivine crystals from two mantle nodules in kimberlites (pipe Udachnaya and pipe Obnazennaya, Yakutiya, Siberia) were investigated using EMP, TEM, AEM and FTIR techniques to determine the mode of hydrogen occurrence in olivine. Olivine contains three types of nanometer-sized inclusions: “large” inclusions of hexagonal-like shape up to several hundred nm in size (1), lamellar defects (2) and small inclusions of hexagon-like shape up to several 10?nm in size (3). Lamellar defects and small inclusions are considered to be a “hydrous” olivine. All three types of inclusions contain OH? or water, but they are different with respect to their phase composition. In “large” inclusions (1) hydrous magnesium silicates, such as serpentine?+?talc (“kerolite”?) and 10-Å phase?+?talc were identified. Lamellar defects (2) and small inclusions (3) are depleted in Mg and Fe compared to the olivine matrix, while the silica content is the same as that of olivine. Modulations in the periodicity of the olivine structure are observed in SAED patterns and HREM images of (2) and (3). The superperiodicity can be referred to OH?-bearing point defect ordering in the olivine structure. If this is the case, the material of both lamellar defects and small inclusions can be assumed to be a “hydrous olivine” Mg2– x v x SiO4H2 x with a cation-deficient olivine crystal structure. Thus, both an extrinsic mode of hydrogen occurrence in olivine, such as nanometer-sized inclusions of OH?-bearing magnesium silicates, and an intrinsic mode of hydrogen incorporation into the olivine structure, such as “hydrous olivine” in itself, were found. The data obtained here show that the OH absorption bands observed in olivine spectra at 3704(3717) and 3683(3688) cm?1 can be unambiguously identified with serpentine; the band at 3677(3676) cm?1 can be associated with talc. The absorption bands observed at 3591 and 3660?cm?1 in olivine match those of the 10-Å phase at 3594, 3662 and 3666?cm?1.  相似文献

Based on the available experimental data on phase equilibria in the FeO -MgO -SiO2 system the mixing properties of the solid solutions (olivine, β- and γ-spinel, pyroxene, majorite, ilmenite and perovskite and magnesiowustite), the enthalpies of FeO and fictive FeSiO3 phases with ilmenite and majorite structures have been assessed. The entropies, temperature dependance of heat capacities for fictive FeSiO3 end-members were estimated from structural analogies. The calculated phase diagrams for Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4 and MgSiO3 — FeSiO3 systems at pressures up to 30 GPa and temperatures between 1000 and 2100 K are quite consistent with the available experimental determinations except for the fine features of the phase diagram at 2073 K.  相似文献

Cr2SiO4 has been prepared both as quench crystals and as an apparently stable subsolidus phase, at T=1600 and 1650 °C, P=37 kbar on Cr2SiO4 and Cr-SiO3 bulk compositions. Crystal structure determination by Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder data from 3 samples show the structure, in space group Fddd, to be related to that of Cd2SiO4 (thenardite Na2SO4-V structure) but with approximately “square planar” coordination of the Cr2+ (d 4) atom. In one of the axial ligand positions, normal to the strongly bonded CrO4 equatorial plane, is found a Cr atom (Cr-Cr=2.75 Å). Stereochemistry permits this contact to be a weak metal-metal bond, though it cannot be ruled out to be a non-bonded result of polyhedral connectivity.  相似文献

This paper presents new major and trace element data from 150 garnet xenocrysts from the V. Grib kimberlite pipe located in the central part of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province (ADP). Based on the concentrations of Cr2O3, CaO, TiO2 and rare earth elements (REE) the garnets were divided into seven groups: (1) lherzolitic “depleted” garnets (“Lz 1”), (2) lherzolitic garnets with normal REE patterns (“Lz 2”), (3) lherzolitic garnets with weakly sinusoidal REE patterns (“Lz 3”), (4) lherzolitic garnets with strongly sinusoidal REE patterns (“Lz 4”), (5) harzburgitic garnets with sinusoidal REE patterns (“Hz”), (6) wehrlitic garnets with weakly sinusoidal REE patterns (“W”), (7) garnets of megacryst paragenesis with normal REE patterns (“Meg”). Detailed mineralogical and geochemical garnet studies and modeling results suggest several stages of mantle metasomatism influenced by carbonatite and silicate melts. Carbonatitic metasomatism at the first stage resulted in refertilization of the lithospheric mantle, which is evidenced by a nearly vertical CaO-Cr2O3 trend from harzburgitic (“Hz”) to lherzolitic (“Lz 4”) garnet composition. Harzburgitic garnets (“Hz”) have probably been formed by interactions between carbonatite melts and exsolved garnets in high-degree melt extraction residues. At the second stage of metasomatism, garnets with weakly sinusoidal REE patterns (“Lz 3”, “W”) were affected by a silicate melt possessing a REE composition similar to that of ADP alkaline mica-poor picrites. At the last stage, the garnets interacted with basaltic melts, which resulted in the decrease CaO-Cr2O3 trend of “Lz 2” garnet composition. Cr-poor garnets of megacryst paragenesis (“Meg”) could crystallize directly from the silicate melt which has a REE composition close to that of ADP alkaline mica-poor picrites. P-T estimates of the garnet xenocrysts indicate that the interval of ～60–110 km of the lithospheric mantle beneath the V. Grib pipe was predominantly affected by the silicate melts, whereas the lithospheric mantle deeper than 150 km was influenced by the carbonatite melts.  相似文献

Three minerals of the mayenite supergroup have been found in fluorellestadite-bearing metacarbonate rock (former fragment of petrified wood of ankeritic composition) from the dump at the Baturinskaya-Vostochnaya-1-2 mine. These are eltyubyuite Ca12Fe1°Si4O32Cl6, its fluorine analog Ca12Fe103+Si4O30F10, and chlormayenite-wadalite Ca12(Al,Fe)14O32Cl2-Ca12(Al,Fe)10Si4O32Cl2. The first two phases occur in the reaction mantle around hematite, magnesioferrite, and Ca-ferrite aggregates (“calciohexaferrite” CaFe12O19, “grandiferrite” CaFe4O7, and “dorrite phase” Ca2(Fe53 +Mn00.5Mg0.5)(Si0.5Fe5.53+)O20) and, rarely, as individuals in grained aggregates of fluorellestadite-cuspidine (± lar- nite ± rusinovite Ca10(Si2O7)3Cl2). Assemblages of zoned chlormayenite-wadalite crystals are found in grained aggregates of fluorellestadite- cuspidine, which lack Ca-ferrite. Also, harmunite CaFe2O4, chlorellestadite, fluorapatite, anhydrite, rondorfite CasMg(SiO4)4Cl2, fluorine analog of rondorfite CasMg(SiO4)4F2, “Mg-cuspidine” Ca3.5(Mg,Fe)0.5(Si2O7)F2, fluorite, barioferrite BaFe12O19, zhangpeishanite BaFCl, and other rare phases are identified in this rock. Data on the chemical composition and Raman spectroscopy of the mayenite-supergroup minerals are given. The genesis of metacarbonate rock is considered in detail: “oxidizing calcination” of Ca-Fe-carbonates with the formation of hematite and lime; reaction between hematite and lime with the formation of different Ca-ferrites; formation of larnite as a result of reaction between SiO2 and lime or CaCO3; and reactionary impact of hot Cl-F-S-bearing gases on early assemblages. Eltyubyuite and its fluorine analog crystallized at the stages of gas impact. It is presumed that the maximum temperature during the formation of rock reached 1200–1230 °C. © 2015, V.S.

Viridine containing the highest amounts of Mn2O3 detected thus far (up to 20.5 mol % “Mn2SiO5”) coexists in a metasedimentary hornfels with spessartine, Mn-phlogopite (mangan-ophyllite), Mn-phengite (alurgite), hematite, quartz and probably some primary braunite. In layers poorer in viridine spessartine is absent but piemontite appears as an additional phase. Microprobe analyses of all these phases are presented which indicate very strong fractionation of Mg and Mn in coexisting phlogopite and garnet, and of Fe and Mn in coexisting hematite and braunite. Sericitic aggregates consisting of phengitic muscovite and braunite are interpreted as retrograde alteration products of viridine, but might partly be pinitic alterations of a former Mg-rich cordierite. Due to the occurrence of the assemblage spessartine-viridine-quartz Mn-cordierite cannot have been a stable phase prior to retrograde alterations. In general the stability field of viridine is extended towards higher temperatures as compared to that of pure andalusite, Al2SiO5. Due to the coexistence of phlogopite and muscovite (phengite) the temperature of contact metamorphism cannot have exceeded some 550°–650° C depending on the prevailing water pressure.  相似文献

 One of the main uncertainties in mineralogical models of the Earth's lower mantle is the nature of the aluminous mineral: it is not clear whether Al forms its own minerals or is mainly contained in (Mg,Fe)SiO3-perovskite. This question is very important, since it is known that if Al were mainly hosted by perovskite, it would radically change Fe/Mg-partitioning and phase equilibria between mantle minerals, and also alter many physical and chemical properties of perovskite, which is currently believed to comprise ca. 70% of the volume of the lower mantle. This, in turn, would require us to reconsider many of our geochemical and geophysical models for the lower mantle. This work considers the possibility of a V3O5-type structured modification of Al2SiO5 to be the main host of Al in the lower mantle, as proposed by previous workers. We report ab initio calculations, based on density functional theory within the generalised gradient approximation (GGA) with plane wave basis set and nonlocal pseudopotentials. We consider polymorphs of Al2SiO5 (kyanite, andalusite, sillimanite, and hypothetical V3O5-like and pseudobrookite-like phases), SiO2 (stishovite, quartz) and Al2O3 (corundum). Computational conditions (e.g., plane-wave energy cutoff, Brillouin zone sampling) were carefully chosen in order to reproduce small energy changes associated with phase transitions between the Al2SiO5 polymorphs. Good agreement of crystal structures, bulk moduli, atomisation energies and the phase diagram of Al2SiO5 with experimental data was found. Strong disagreement between the calculated lattice parameters and density of V3O5-like phase of Al2SiO5 and experimental values, assigned to it by previous workers, suggests that a V3O5-structured phase of Al2SiO5 was never observed experimentally. In addition, we found that the most stable high-pressure assembly in Al2SiO5 system is corundum+stishovite, and the value of the transition pressure at T = O K (113 kbar) is in excellent agreement with experimental estimates (95–150 kbar). We explain the instability of octahedrally coordinated silicates of Al to decomposition on the basis of Pauling's second rule. Received: 18 May 1999 / Accepted: 5 November 1999  相似文献

Single crystals of five wadsleyite compositions, β-(Mg,Fe)2SiO4 with Fe/(Fe+Mg)=0.00, 0.08, 0.16, 0.25 and 0.40, have been synthesized at high temperature and pressure in a uniaxial, split-sphere apparatus. Crystal structures of these samples, determined by x-ray diffraction techniques, reveal that iron is significantly ordered: Fe is depleted in the M2 octahedron, while it is enriched in M1 and M3. The most iron-rich synthetic sample, which falls well outside previous estimates of wadsleyite stability, raises questions regarding published Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4 phase diagrams at transition zone conditions.  相似文献

A new determination, using high temperature drop-solution calorimetry, of the enthalpy of transformation of MgSiO3 pyroxene to ilmenite gives H 298 = 59.03 ±4.26 kJ/mol. The heat capacity of the ilmenite and orthopyroxene phases has been measured by differential scanning calorimetry at 170–700 K; Cp of MgSiO3 ilmenite is 4–10 percent less than that of MgSiO3 pyroxene throughout the range studied. The heat capacity differences are consistent with lattice vibrational models proposed by McMillan and Ross (1987) and suggest an entropy change of -18 ± 3 J-K-1 ·mol-1, approximately independent of temperature, for the pyroxene-ilmenite transition. The unit cell parameters of MgSiO3 ilmenite were measured at 298–876 K and yield an average volume thermal expansion coefficient of 2.44 × 10-5 K-1. The thermochemical data are used to calculate phase relations involving pyroxene, -Mg2SiO4 plus stishovite, Mg2SiO4 spinel plus stishovite, and ilmenite in good agreement with the results of high pressure studies.  相似文献

Unglazed soft-paste porcelain wasters from the Longton Hall factory site are variably depleted (75–80 rel %) in CaO relative to comparatively insoluble components (e.g., Al2O3, TiO2) due to the dissolution of wollastonite (CaSiO3, a pyroxenoid) by subsurface water. The degree of desilicification is variable (0–45 rel % SiO2). Petrographic data and element-abundance plots suggest that these were the principal effects of the chemical weathering process in most samples. The preferential dissolution of a single phase in the unglazed Longton Hall sherds permits the semiquantitative “reversal” of weathering phenomena. Alteration effects can be corrected using porosity–volume data to constrain the amount of wollastonite originally present in the weathered sherds. The original compositions of the unglazed wasters are bracketed by arithmetically “adding back” the missing pyroxenoid components according to two endmember assumptions concerning element mobility: (1) the total leaching of wollastonite components and (2) the preferential leaching of wollastonite-derived CaO. These calculations—particularly the latter—yield results that compare favourably with the compositions of relatively unaltered (wollastonite-bearing), glazed samples from the Longton Hall site. Given the potential susceptibility of archaeological ceramics to chemical weathering, it would seem prudent that these phenomena be carefully assessed, and corrected where possible, so that analytical data for these artifacts can be judiciously interpreted. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

The first silicate possessing a K2NiF4-type structure (Ca2SiO4) has been synthesized at loading pressures between 220 and 260 kbar and a temperature of about 1000° C in a diamond-anvil press coupled with a YAG laser heater. The lattice parameters for Ca2SiO4 (K2NiF4-type) area=3.564±0.002 andc=11.66±0.01 Å at room temperature and 1 bar pressure, and the molar volume is 44.57±0.05 cm3. The lattice parameter for the non-quenchable high-pressure perovskite modification of CaSiO3 is estimated to be 3.56±0.03 Å at STP conditions. To date, A2BX4 compounds possessing the K2NiF4-type structure arein all cases less dense than their corresponding mixtures of ABX3 and AX compounds possessing, respectively, the perovskite (or related structures) and rocksalt structures. Hence the K2NiF4 structure is unstable relative to the mixture perovskite plus rocksalt at high pressures. For example, in a preliminary experimental study Ca2GeO4 in the K2NiF4-type structure has been found to transform to an as-yet-undetermined phase or assemblage at pressures between 200 and 250 kbar and at about 1000° C. It is concluded that a similar phase transformation might also occur in Ca2SiO4 (K2NiF4 type) but that the K2NiF4-type structure would not be adopted by Mg2SiO4 in the earth's mantle.  相似文献

Disorder models of oxygen positions in P63/ mmc, C2221 and P212121 tridymites were given in applying geometrical and lattice dynamical calculations. Sixmembered rings of rigid SiO4 units are all collapsed in these forms; with silicon atoms fixed, SiO4 units can take six different orientations in forming tridymite frameworks in both the P63/mmc and C2221 forms, and three orientations in the P212121 form. Atomic distances and angles obtained from the distance least-squares method are about equal for the three forms: 〈Si-O〉 (mean Si-O) = 1.611 Å, 〈O-O〉 = 2.629 Å, and 〈Si-O-Si〉 = 147°. Domain formation models are given for the three forms. The tridymite framework structures may possibly undergo lattice vibrations with low frequencies in two kinds of pair-wise rotational modes of SiO4 units joined by the apical oxygen atoms, at the Γ-point: one is around 〈100〉 (or 〈210〉 for the hexagonal case), and the other is around 〈010〉. As temperature approaches the hexagonal-orthorhombic transition from below, the rotational mode around 〈100〉 remarkably softens at the Γ-point. The behavior of the atoms at the hexagonal-orthorhombic transition is explained in terms of a coupled softening of the two rotational modes of neighboring local domains in different orientations.  相似文献

Elongated NE-SW trending bodies of iron-rich rock are exposed adjacent to pyroxenite dyke within Sukinda ultramafic complex, Odisha. Field study followed by optical and electron microscopy, XRD and EPMA investigation reveal the rocks to be fine grained, weathered, limonitised; containing quartz, magnetite, hematite/martite and goethite. The rock has suffered from deformation during intrusion of chromiferous magma. It rarely shows banding/lamination, but largely exhibits mylonitic fabric, resulting from magmatic intrusion. The stronger deformation is evident from sub-grain formation, deformed mineral grains; often with orientation, stretching (boudinage) and shortening (folding); presence of porphyroclasts, pull-apart structure, undulose extinction, dynamic recrystallisation etc. From the microstructure and mineral abundance, the rock is designated as “Mylonitic Magentite Quartzite” (MMQ).Enrichment of some elements like Ni, Mg, Cr in the magnetite phase of MMQ is attributed to solid state diffusion of these elements from chromiferous mafic magma during thermal metamorphism. This is determined from electron probe microanalysis of iron-rich phase in MMQ, which is found to contain 88-90 wt% of FeO(t) with ~1%, NiO, ~1%, MgO and 0.1% Cr2O3 having around 3 mole% of trevorite; 4-6% of magnesioferrite; 0.15-0.3% of chromite; 86-87% of magnetite and 3-4% of wustite. Considering presence of wustite as temperature indicator, the temperature of magma envisaged to be around 950-1100°C.In a later period, the MMQ has undergone oxidation and lateritisation owing to its prolonged exposure. During this process, new minerals like hematite and goethite substituted magnetite, resulting leaching of iron (FeO: 62-68%) and magnesium (MgO: 0.1-0.35) and enrichment of chromium (Cr2O3:4-7%) and nickel (NiO: 1.6-2.3%). The silica (SiO2: 4-5%), alumina (Al2O3:~1%) are contributed by kaolinite, formed during lateritisation.The field and laboratory studies confirm these iron-rich exposures to be enclaves of BIFs, banded magnetite quartzite (BMQ) in particular, within the Sukinda chromiferous ultramafic complex. Micro-structural features and microchemical composition of iron minerals in these exposures are interpreted as the influence of forceful ultramafic intrusion into the existing BMQ and effect of thermal metamorphism followed by oxidation, weathering/lateritisation.  相似文献

Cathodoluminescence (CL) techniques are used to investigate the defect structures of pure synthetic silicon dioxide (SiO2) polymorphs. Pure, synthetic Types I, II, III and IV amorphous SiO2 polymorphs, pure, synthetic crystal α-SiO2 and pure, synthetic amorphized crystal α-SiO2 have been investigated and their characteristic defects have been determined and compared. The CL emission from pure SiO2 polymorphs is generally related to local point defects in the tetrahedrally coordinated SiO2 host lattice. A range of CL emissions associated with non bridging oxygen defects, oxygen deficient defects and the radiative recombination of self trapped excitons are observed from both the pure synthetic crystal and amorphous SiO2 polymorphs. In addition CL emissions associated with residual concentrations of Aluminium impurities are also observed from α-SiO2 (quartz) and Type I and II a-SiO2 (fused quartz). Localised amorphous micro-volumes may exist within natural α-SiO2 due to the presence of a high concentration of pre-existing or induced defects. Amorphization of α-SiO2 diminishes the difference between the defect structures and associated CL from α-SiO2 and a-SiO2. Thus CL investigation of the defect structure of a-SiO2 polymorphs provides useful insight into the microstructure of amorphized α-SiO2.  相似文献

Three new crystalline phases differing in Si/Al ratio have been synthesized from compositions along the join NiAl2O4-Ni2SiO4. Four reversible univariant equilibria involving these new phases plus Ni2SiO4 (olivine) have been located within the P-T region studied (1 atm–40 kb, 1000–1700° C); an invariant point occurs near 22 kb, 1150°C.All three new phases are orthorhombic. Precession photographs and electron microprobe analyses yield the following information:Phase I: 5NiO·3Al2O3·SiO2 = 3NiAl2O4·Ni2SiO4, Pmma, a=5.67, b=11.51, c=8.10 (Å)Phase II: 7NiO·3Al2O3·2SiO2 = 3NiAl2O4· 2Ni2SiO4, Imma, a=5.66, b=17.32, c=8.11Phase III: 3NiO· Al2O3· SiO2 = NiAl2O4·Ni2SiO4, Imma, a=5.68, b=11.49, c=8.12Comparison with known structures suggests that these three phases plus NiAl2O4 spinel and high pressure Ni2SiO4 spinel belong to a homologous series based on a cubic close oxygen packing of the formula: M2n O n}-1 (T n O3n+1) where M and T are octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated cations, respectively. When n=1 the formula for spinel is obtained; n = 2 for phase I and phase III, both similar to the beta-phase of orthosilicates; and n = 3 for phase II which is related to the manganostibite structure.Similar phase equilibria and structural relations may occur on other joins of the aluminateorthosilicate type. Furthermore, the occurrence of such structural modifications between the spinel (aluminate) and olivine (orthosilicate) compositions suggests that there could be a corresponding polymorphic series between the olivine and spinel forms of orthosilicates.  相似文献
