D. Levy  A. Pavese  A. Sani  V. Pischedda 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(9):612-618

 The structural behavior of synthetic gahnite (ZnAl₂O₄) has been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction at high pressure (0–43 GPa) and room temperature, on the ID9 beamline at ESRF. The equation of state of gahnite has been derived using the models of Birch–Murnaghan, Vinet and Poirier–Tarantola, and the results have been mutually compared (the elastic bulk modulus and its derivatives versus P determined by the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state are K ₀=201.7(±0.9) GPa, K ^′ ₀=7.62(±0.09) and K ^″ ₀=−0.1022 GPa⁻¹ (implied value). The compressibilities of the tetrahedral and octahedral bond lengths [0.00188(8) and 0.00142(5) GPa⁻¹ at P=0, respectively], and the␣polyhedral volume compressibilities of the four-␣and␣sixfold coordination sites [0.0057(2) and 0.0041(2) GPa⁻¹ at P=0, respectively] are discussed.

 In situ synchrotron X-ray experiments in the system SnO₂ were made at pressures of 4–29 GPa and temperatures of 300–1400 K using sintered diamond anvils in a 6–8 type high-pressure apparatus. Orthorhombic phase (α-PbO₂ structure) underwent a transition to a cubic phase (Pa3ˉ structure) at 18 GPa. This transition was observed at significantly lower pressures in DAC experiments. We obtained the isothermal bulk modulus of cubic phase K ₀= 252(28) GPa and its pressure derivative K ^′=3.5(2.2). The thermal expansion coefficient of cubic phase at 25 GPa up to 1300 K was determined from interpolation of the P-V-T data obtained, and is 1.7(±0.7) × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ at 25 GPa.

Octahedral cation ordering in olivine at high temperature. II: an in situ neutron powder diffraction study on synthetic MgFeSiO4 (Fa50)     

S. A. T. Redfern  G. Artioli  R. Rinaldi  C. M. B. Henderson  K. S. Knight  B. J. Wood 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2000,27(9):630-637

 The partitioning of Fe and Mg between the M1 and M2 octahedral sites of olivine has been investigated by in situ time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction. The degree of M-cation order was determined from direct measurements of site occupancies in a synthetic sample of Fo50Fa50 heated to 1250 °C at the Fe-FeO oxygen buffer. Fe shows slight preference for M1 at temperatures below about 600 °C, progressively disordering on heating to this temperature. Above 630 °C, the temperature at which site preferences cross over (T _cr), Fe preferentially occupies M2, becoming progressively more ordered into M2 on increasing temperature. The cation-ordering behaviour is discussed in relation to the temperature dependence of the M1 and M2 site geometries, and it is suggested that vibrational entropy, crystal field effects and changes in bond characteristics play a part in the cross-over of partitioning behaviour. The temperature dependence of site ordering is modelled using a Landau expansion of the free energy of ordering of the type ΔG = −hQ + gTQ +  (T − T _c)Q ² +  Q ⁴, with a/h = 0.00406 K⁻¹, b/h = 2.3, T _c = 572 K and g/h = 0.00106 K⁻¹. These results suggest that the high-temperature ordering behaviour across the forsterite-fayalite join will have a bearing on the activity-composition relations of this important rock-forming mineral, and indicate that Fe-Mg olivine solid solutions become less ideal as temperature increases.

High-temperature heat capacity and thermodynamic properties for end-member titanite (CaTiSiO5)     

J. Tangeman  D. Xirouchakis 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(3):167-176

 The heat capacity of end-member titanite and (CaTiSiO₅) glass has been measured in the range 328–938 K using differential scanning calorimetry. The data show a weak λ-shaped anomaly at 483 ± 5 K, presumably associated with the well-known low-pressure P2₁/a ⇆ A2/a transition, in good agreement with previous studies. A value of 0.196 ± 0.007 kJ mol⁻¹ for the enthalpy of the P2₁/a ⇆ A2/a transition was determined by integration of the area under the curve for a temperature interval of 438–528 K, bracketing the anomaly. The heat capacity data for end-member titanite and (CaTiSiO₅) glass can be reproduced within <1% using the derived empirical equations (temperature in K, pressure in bars): The available enthalpy of vitrification (80.78 ± 3.59 kJ mol⁻¹), and the new heat capacity equations for solid and glass can be used to estimate (1) the enthalpy of fusion of end-member titanite (122.24 ± 0.2 kJ mol⁻¹), (2) the entropy of fusion of end-member titanite (73.85 ± 0.1 J/mol K⁻¹), and (3) a theoretical glass transition temperature of 1130 ± 55 K. The latter is in considerable disagreement with the experimentally determined glass transition temperature of 1013 ± 3 K. This discrepancy vanishes when either the adopted enthalpy of vitrification or the liquid heat content, or both, are adjusted. Calculations using Eq. (2), new P−V−T data for titanite, different but also internally consistent thermodynamic data for anorthite, rutile, and kyanite, and experimental data for the reaction: anorthite + rutile = titanite + kyanite strongly suggest: (1) the practice to adjust the enthalpy of formation of titanite to fit phase equilibrium data may be erroneous, and (2) it is probably the currently accepted entropy of 129.2 ± 0.8 J/mol K⁻¹ that may need revision to a smaller value.

Thermodynamic data of the high-pressure phase Mg5Al5Si6O21(OH)7 (Mg-sursassite)     

K.-D. Grevel  A. Navrotsky  W. A. Kahl  D. W. Fasshauer  J. Majzlan 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(7):475-487

 Calorimetric and P–V–T data for the high-pressure phase Mg₅Al₅Si₆O₂₁(OH)₇ (Mg-sursassite) have been obtained. The enthalpy of drop solution of three different samples was measured by high-temperature oxide melt calorimetry in two laboratories (UC Davis, California, and Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) using lead borate (2PbO·B₂O₃) at T=700 ^∘C as solvent. The resulting values were used to calculate the enthalpy of formation from different thermodynamic datasets; they range from −221.1 to −259.4 kJ mol⁻¹ (formation from the oxides) respectively −13892.2 to −13927.9 kJ mol⁻¹ (formation from the elements). The heat capacity of Mg₅Al₅Si₆O₂₁(OH)₇ has been measured from T=50 ^∘C to T=500 ^∘C by differential scanning calorimetry in step-scanning mode. A Berman and Brown (1985)-type four-term equation represents the heat capacity over the entire temperature range to within the experimental uncertainty: C _P (Mg-sursassite) =(1571.104 −10560.89×T ^−0.5−26217890.0 ×T ⁻²+1798861000.0×T ⁻³) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ (T in K). The P V T behaviour of Mg-sursassite has been determined under high pressures and high temperatures up to 8 GPa and 800 ^∘C using a MAX 80 cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus. The samples were mixed with Vaseline to ensure hydrostatic pressure-transmitting conditions, NaCl served as an internal standard for pressure calibration. By fitting a Birch-Murnaghan EOS to the data, the bulk modulus was determined as 116.0±1.3 GPa, (K ^′=4), V _T,0 =446.49 ³ exp[∫(0.33±0.05) × 10⁻⁴ + (0.65±0.85)×10⁻⁸ T dT], (K _T/T) _P  = −0.011± 0.004 GPa K⁻¹. The thermodynamic data obtained for Mg-sursassite are consistent with phase equilibrium data reported recently (Fockenberg 1998); the best agreement was obtained with Δ_f H ⁰ ₂₉₈ (Mg-sursassite) = −13901.33 kJ mol⁻¹, and S ⁰ ₂₉₈ (Mg-sursassite) = 614.61 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.

Thermal expansion and structural transformations of stuffed derivatives of quartz along the LiAlSiO4–SiO2 join: a variable-temperature powder synchrotron XRD study     

H. Xu  P. J. Heaney  A. Navrotsky 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(5):302-312

 The structural behavior of stuffed derivatives of quartz within the Li_{1− x} Al_{1− x} Si_{1+ x} O₄ system (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) has been studied in the temperature range 20 to 873 K using high-resolution powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). Rietveld analysis reveals three distinct regimes whose boundaries are defined by an Al/Si order-disorder transition at x=∼0.3 and a β–α displacive transformation at x=∼0.65. Compounds that are topologically identical to β-quartz (0 ≤ x < ∼0.65) expand within the (0 0 1) plane and contract along c with increasing temperature; however, this thermal anisotropy is significantly higher for structures within the regime 0 ≤ x < ∼0.3 than for those with compositions ∼0.3 ≤ x < ∼0.65. We attribute this disparity to a tetrahedral tilting mechanism that occurs only in the ordered structures (0 ≤ x < ∼0.3). The phases with ∼0.65 ≤ x ≤ 1 adopt the α-quartz structure at room temperature, and they display positive thermal expansion along both a and c from 20 K to their α–β transition temperatures. This behavior arises mainly from a rotation of rigid Si(Al)-tetrahedra about the <100> axes. Landau analysis provides quantitative evidence that the charge-coupled substitution of Li+Al for Si in quartz dampens the α–β transition. With increasing Li+Al content, the low-temperature modifications exhibit a marked decrease in spontaneous strain; this behavior reflects a weakening of the first-order character of the transition. In addition, we observe a linear decrease in the α–β critical temperature from 846 K to near 0 K as the Li+Al content increases from x=0 to x=∼0.5.

Assessment of heavy-metal contamination of floodplain soils due to mining and mineral processing in the Harz Mountains, Germany   总被引：9，自引：2，他引：7  

H.-E. Gäbler  J. Schneider 《Environmental Geology》2000,39(7):774-782

2 study area was assessed with respect to its heavy-metal load on the basis of the current guideline values. The heavy-metal loads of the soils in the study area have ranges of <0.2–200 mg kg⁻¹ for Cd, <10–30,000 mg kg⁻¹ for Pb, 7–10,000 mg kg⁻¹ for Cu and 50–55,000 mg kg⁻¹ for Zn. Mobility of the heavy metals was determined by extraction at different pH values. The acid neutralisation capacity (ANC_x) at these pH values was also determined to estimate the probability that the pH can drop to pH=x. The ANC values in the study area ranged from 6 to 3000 mmol H⁺ kg⁻¹, from −33 to 800 mmol H⁺ kg⁻¹ and from −74 to 160 mmol H⁺ kg⁻¹ for ANC_3.5, ANC_5.0 and ANC_6.2, respectively. Together with pedological data, the extraction experiments permit differentiation between soil units that have been placed in the same environmental hazard class on the basis of total heavy-metal loads.

Phosphorus – an omnipresent minor element in garnet of diverse textural types from leucocratic granitic rocks     

K. Breiter  M. Novák  F. Koller  J. Cempírek 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2005,85(3-4):205-221

Summary Elevated P contents of up to 0.086 apfu (1.21 wt.% P₂O₅) were found in garnet from leucocratic granitic rocks (orthogneisses, granites, barren to highly evolved pegmatites) in the Moldanubicum and Silesicum, Czech Republic, and in complex granitic pegmatites from southern California, USA, and Australia. Minor concentrations (0.15–0.55 wt.% P₂O₅) appear ubiquitous in garnet from leucocratic granitic rocks of different origins and degrees of fractionation. Concentrations of P are not related to Mn/(Mn + Fe) that vary from 0.12–0.86 and to textural types of garnet (i.e., isolated anhedral to euhedral grains and nodules, graphic and random garnet–quartz aggregates, subsolidus veins of fine-grained garnet). Garnet compositions exhibit negative correlations for P/Si and P/R²⁺ where R²⁺ = Fe + Mn + Mg + Ca, while Al is constant at ∼2.05 apfu. Concentrations of Na are largely below 0.02 apfu but positively correlate with P. The main substitution may involve A-site vacancy and/or the presence of some light element(s) in the crystal structure. The substitution □P₂ R²⁺ ₋₁Si₋₂ and/or alluaudite-type Na□P₃ R²⁺ ₋₁Si₋₃ seem the most likely P-incorporating mechanisms. The partitioning of P among garnet and associated minerals in granitic systems remains unclear; however, it directly affects the distribution of Y and REEs.  相似文献   

Cation diffusion in aluminosilicate garnets: experimental determination in pyrope-almandine diffusion couples     

Jibamitra Ganguly  Weiji Cheng  Sumit Chakraborty 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1998,131(2-3):171-180

Diffusion couples made from homogeneous gem quality natural pyrope and almandine garnets were annealed within graphite capsules under anhydrous conditions at 22–40 kbar, 1057–1400 °C in a piston-cylinder apparatus. The concentration profiles that developed in each couple were modeled to retrieve the self diffusion coefficients [D(I)] of the divalent cations Fe, Mg, Mn and Ca. Because of their usually low concentrations and lack of sufficient compositional change across the interface of the diffusion couples, only a few reliable data can be obtained for D(Ca) and D(Mn) from these experiments. However, nine sets of D(Fe) and D(Mg) data were retrieved in the above P-T range, and cast in the form of Arrhenian relation, D=D ₀exp{−[Q(1 bar)+PΔV ⁺]/RT}. The values of the activation energy (Q) and activation volume (ΔV ⁺) depend on whether f _O2 is constrained by graphite in the system C-O or held constant. For the first case, we have for Fe:Q(1 bar)=65,532±10,111 cal/mol, D ₀=3.50 (±2.30)×10⁻⁵ cm²/s, ΔV ⁺=5.6(±2.9) cm³/mol, and for Mg:Q(1 bar)=60,760±8,257 cal/mol, D ₀=4.66 (±2.48)×10⁻⁵ cm²/s, ΔV ⁺=5.3(±3.0) cm³/mol. Here the ΔV ⁺ values have been taken from Chakraborty and Ganguly (1992). For the condition of constant f _O2, the Q values are ∼9 kcal lower and ΔV ⁺ values are ∼4.9 cm³/mol larger than the above values. Lower temperature extrapolation of the Arrhenian relation for D(Mg) is in good agreement with the Mg tracer diffusion data (D ^* _Mg) of Chakraborty and Rubie (1996) and Cygan and Lasaga (1985) at 1 bar, 750–900 °C, when all data are normalized to the same pressure and to f _O2 defined by graphite in the system C-O. The D ^* _Mg data of Schwandt et al. (1995), on the other hand, are lower by more than an order of magnitude than the low temperature extrapolation of the present data, when all data are normalized to the same pressure and to f _O2 defined by the graphite buffer. Comparison of the D(Fe), D(Mg) and D(Mn) data in the pyrope-almandine diffusion couple with those in the spessartine-almandine diffusion couple of Chakraborty and Ganguly (1992) shows that the self diffusion of Fe and Mn are significantly enhanced with the increase in Mn/Mg ratio; the enhancement effect on D(Mg) is, however, relatively small. Proper application of the self diffusion data to calculate interdiffusion coefficient or D matrix elements for the purpose of modeling of diffusion processes in natural garnets must take into account these compositional effects on D(I) along with the effects of thermodynamic nonideality, f _O2, and pressure.

Pb diffusion in rutile   总被引：16，自引：0，他引：16  

D. J. Cherniak 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2000,139(2):198-207

Diffusion of Pb was measured in natural and synthetic rutile under dry, 1 atmosphere conditions, using mixtures of Pb titanate or Pb sulfide and TiO₂ as the sources of diffusant. Pb depth profiles were then measured with Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS). Over the temperature range 700–1100 °C, the following Arrhenius relation was obtained for the synthetic rutile: D=3.9 × 10⁻¹⁰exp(−250 ± 12 kJ mol⁻¹/RT) m²s⁻¹. Results for diffusion in natural and synthetic rutile were quite similar, despite significant differences in trace element compositions. Mean closure temperatures calculated from the diffusion parameters are around 600 °C for rutile grains of ∼100 μm size. This is about 100 °C higher than rutile closure temperature determinations from past field-based studies, suggesting that rutile is more resistant to Pb loss through volume diffusion than previously thought.

Summary Kristiansenite occurs as a late hydrothermal mineral in vugs in an amazonite pegmatite at Heftetjern, T?rdal, Telemark, Norway. Tapering crystals, rarely up to 2 mm long, are colourless, white, or slightly yellowish. The mineral has the ideal composition Ca₂ScSn(Si₂O₇)(Si₂O₆OH) and is triclinic C1 with cell parameters a = 10.028(1), b = 8.408(1), c = 13.339(2) ?, α = 90.01(1), β = 109.10(1), γ = 90.00(1)°, V = 1062.7(3) ?³ (Z = 4). It has a monoclinic cell within ∼ 0.1 ? and is polysynthetically twinned on {010} by metric merohedry. The strongest reflections in the X-ray powder pattern are [d in ?, (I _obs), (hkl)]: 5.18 (53) (1–11), 3.146 (100) (004), 3.089 (63) (−222), 2.901 (19) (221), 2.595 (34) (222), 2.142 (17) (−3–31). The Mohs’ hardness is 5?–6; D_calc. = 3.64 g/cm³; only a mean refractive index of 1.74 could be measured. Scandium enrichment in the Heftetjern pegmatite and the crystal chemistry of scandium are briefly discussed. Received April 30, 2001; accepted July 28, 2001  相似文献   

The cosmic vacuum and the rotation of galaxies     

L. M. Chechin 《Astronomy Reports》2010,54(8):719-723

The rotational effect of the cosmic vacuum is investigated. The induced rotation of elliptical galaxies due to the anti-gravity of the vacuum is found to be 10⁻²¹ s⁻¹ for real elliptical galaxies. The effect of the vacuum rotation of the entire Universe is discussed, and can be described by the invariant ω _ν = ω ₀ ∼ $ \sqrt {G\rho v} $ \sqrt {G\rho v} . The corresponding numerical angular velocity of the Universe is 10⁻¹⁹ s⁻¹, in good agreement with modern data on the temperature fluctuations of the cosmic background radiation.  相似文献

Elasticity of the pyrope (Mg3Al2Si3O12)-majorite (MgSiO3) garnets solid solution

Dense isotropic polycrystalline specimens of majorite-rich garnets (Py₁₀₀, Py₆₂Mj₃₈, Py₅₀Mj₅₀, Py₂₁Mj₇₉ and Mj₁₀₀) along the pyrope (Mg₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂ = Py₁₀₀)-majorite (MgSiO₃ = Mj₁₀₀) join were fabricated in a 2000-ton uniaxial split-sphere anvil apparatus (USSA-2000) at pressures from 10 to 18.5 GPa and temperatures from 1200 to 1850 °C, within their stability fields in runs of 2–4-h duration, using hot-pressing techniques developed by Gwanmesia et al. (1993). These specimens are single-phased, fine-grained (≤5 mm), free of microcracks, and have bulk densities greater than 99% of the corresponding single-crystal X-ray density. Elastic compressional (P) and shear (S) wave velocities were determined at room pressure and temperature for these polycrystalline garnet specimens by phase comparison ultrasonic interferometry. For Mj₁₀₀, the P and S wave velocities are within 1% of the Hashin-Shtrikman averages calculated from the single crystal elastic moduli measured by Brillouin spectroscopy. Both the elastic bulk modulus (K) and the shear modulus (G) decrease continuously with increasing majorite content from pyrope garnet (Py₁₀₀) to pure majorite garnet (Mj₁₀₀). The compositional dependence of K and G are given by K = 172.3 (40) − 0.085X, and G = 91.6 (10) − 0.038X, where X = mol% majorite), respectively, indicating that substitution of Si for Mg and Al decreases both K and G by about 5% along the solid solution series.

High-temperature viscoelasticity of fine-grained polycrystalline olivine     

B. H. Tan  I. Jackson  J. D. Fitz Gerald 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2001,28(9):641-664

 Torsional forced-oscillation and microcreep methods have been employed in a study of the viscoelastic behaviour of fine-grained polycrystalline olivine at high temperatures (to 1300 °C), seismic frequencies and low strain amplitudes. The Fo₉₀ specimens are of low porosity and low dislocation density. They vary in mean grain size from 8 to 150 μm and contain only trace amounts (≪0.1 vol%) of quenched melt glass. For T ≤ 900 °C, their behaviour is essentially elastic and the shear modulus G closely approaches that expected for a dense polycrystal from single-crystal elasticity data – confirming the suppression of thermal microcracking in␣this study. At higher temperatures, pronounced absorption-band dissipation and associated dispersion␣of the shear modulus provide evidence of linear viscoelastic behaviour. Both recoverable (anelastic) and permanent (viscous) strains are involved and the proportion of the latter increases with increasing temperature and decreasing frequency. Comparison of the results for the three specimens provides a clear indication that the viscoelastic behaviour, attributed to diffusional processes, is grain-size-sensitive with the dissipation and associated dispersion increasing with decreasing grain size. Both elastically accommodated and diffusionally accommodated grain-boundary sliding appear to be implicated. Received: 29 September 2000 / Accepted: 7 May 2001  相似文献   

Structural thermal behavior of paragonite and its dehydroxylate: a high-temperature single-crystal study     

P. Comodi  P. F. Zanazzi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2000,27(6):377-385

 The lattice constants of paragonite-2M₁, NaAl₂(AlSi₃)O₁₀(OH)₂, were determined to 800 °C by the single-crystal diffraction method. Mean thermal expansion coefficients, in the range 25–600 °C, were: α_a = 1.51(8) × 10⁻⁵, α_b = 1.94(6) × 10⁻⁵, α_c = 2.15(7) ×  10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, and α_V = 5.9(2) × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹. At T higher than 600 °C, cell parameters showed a change in expansion rate due to a dehydroxylation process. The structural refinements of natural paragonite, carried out at 25, 210, 450 and 600 °C, before dehydroxylation, showed that the larger thermal expansion along the c parameter was mainly due to interlayer thickness dilatation. In the 25–600 °C range, Si,Al tetrahedra remained quite unchanged, whereas the other polyhedra expanded linearly with expansion rate proportional to their volume. The polyhedron around the interlayer cation Na became more regular with temperature. Tetrahedral rotation angle α changed from 16.2 to 12.9°. The structure of the new phase, nominally NaAl₂ (AlSi₃)O₁₁, obtained as a consequence of dehydroxylation, had a cell volume 4.2% larger than that of paragonite. It was refined at room temperature and its expansion coefficients determined in the range 25–800 °C. The most significant structural difference from paragonite was the presence of Al in fivefold coordination, according to a distorted trigonal bipyramid. Results confirm the structural effects of the dehydration mechanism of micas and dioctahedral 2:1 layer silicates. By combining thermal expansion and compressibility data, the following approximate equation of state in the PTV space was obtained for paragonite: V/V ₀ = 1 + 5.9(2) × 10⁻⁵ T(°C) − 0.00153(4) P(kbar).

Iron Diffusion in Single-Crystal Diopside     

F. Azough  R. Freer 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2000,27(10):732-740

 Iron tracer diffusion experiments in diopside have been performed using natural and synthetic single crystals of diopside, and stable iron tracers enriched in ⁵⁴Fe, at temperatures in the range 950–1100 °C, total pressure 1 atm, for times up to 29 days. Iron isotope diffusion profiles were determined with an ion microprobe. For experiments performed at log pO₂ = −13, in directions parallel to the c axis and the b axis of two natural, low iron (Fe ∼ 1.8 at %) diopsides, the data obey a single Arrhenius relationship of the form D = 6.22_−5.9 ^+49.6×10⁻¹⁵ exp(−161.5 ± 35.0 kJ mol⁻¹/RT) m² s⁻¹. A single datum for iron diffusion in iron-free, single-crystal diopside at 1050 °C, is approximately 1 order of magnitude slower than in the natural crystals. The pO₂ dependence of iron diffusion in natural crystals at 1050 °C (power exponent = 0.229 ± 0.036) indicates a vacancy mechanism; this is consistent with the results of unpublished atomistic simulation studies.

A suite of more than 200 garnet single crystals, extracted from 150 xenoliths, covering the whole range of types of garnet parageneses in mantle xenoliths so far known from kimberlites of the Siberian platform and collected from nearly all the kimberlite pipes known in that tectonic unit, as well as some garnets found as inclusions in diamonds and olivine megacrysts from such kimberlites, were studied by means of electron microprobe analysis and single-crystal IR absorption spectroscopy in the v _OH vibrational range in search of the occurrence, energy and intensity of the v _OH bands of hydroxyl defects in such garnets and its potential use in an elucidation of the nature of the fluid phase in the mantle beneath the Siberian platform. The v _OH single-crystal spectra show either one or a combination of two or more of the following major v _OH bands, I 3645–3662 cm⁻¹, II 3561–3583 cm⁻¹, III 3515–3527 cm⁻¹, and minor bands, Ia 3623–3631 cm⁻¹, IIa 3593–3607 cm⁻¹. The type of combination of such bands in the spectrum of a specific garnet depends on the type of the rock series of the host xenolith, Mg, Mg-Ca, Ca, Mg-Fe, or alkremite, on the xenolith type as well as on the chemical composition of the respective garnet. Nearly all garnets contain band systems I and II. Band system III occurs in Ti-rich garnets, with wt% TiO₂ > ca. 0.4, from xenoliths of the Mg-Ca and Mg-Fe series, only. The v _OH spectra do not correspond to those of OH⁻ defects in synthetic pyropes or natural ultra-high pressure garnets from diamondiferous metamorphics. There were no indications of v _OH from inclusions of other minerals within the selected 60 × 60 μm measuring areas in the garnets. The v _OH spectra of pyrope-knorringite- and pyrope-knorringite-uvarovite-rich garnets included in diamonds do not show band systems I to III. Instead, they exhibit one weak, broad band (Δv _OH 200–460 cm⁻¹) near 3570 cm⁻¹, a result that was also obtained on pyrope-knorringite-rich garnets extracted from two olivine megacrysts. The quantitative evaluation, on the basis of relevant existing calibrational data (Bell et al. 1995), of the sum of integral intensities of all v _OH bonds of the garnets studied yielded a wide range of “water” concentrations within the set of the different garnets, between values below the detection limit of our single-crystal IR method, near 2 × 10⁻⁴ wt%, up to 163 × 10⁻⁴ wt%. The “water” contents vary in a complex manner in garnets from different xenolith types, obviously depending on a large number of constraints, inherent in the crystal chemistry as well as the formation conditions of the garnets during the crystallization of their mantle host rocks. Secondary alteration effects during uplift of the kimberlite, play, if any, only a minor role. Despite the very complex pattern of the “water” contents of the garnets, preventing an evaluation of a straightforward correlation between “water” contents of the garnets and the composition of the mantle's fluid phase during garnet formation, at least two general conclusions could be drawn: (1) the wide variation of “water” contents in garnets is not indicative of regional or local differences in the composition of the mantle's fluid phase; (2) garnets formed in the high-pressure/high-temperature diamond-pyrope facies invariably contain significantly lower amounts of “water” than garnets formed under the conditions of the graphite-pyrope facies. This latter result (2) may point to significantly lower f _H2O and f _O2 in the former as compared to the latter facies. Received: 25 November 1997 / Accepted: 9 March 1998  相似文献   

Thermodynamic data from redox reactions at high temperatures. VI. Thermodynamic properties of CoO–MnO solid solutions from emf measurements

Activities of CoO in (Co,Mn)O solid solutions in contact with metallic Co have been determined on ten compositions ranging from 0.12 to 0.84 X_CoO in order to calibrate the divariant equilibrium between (Co,Mn)O oxide solutions and Co metal as an oxygen fugacity sensor for application in experimental petrology. Experiments were conducted over the temperature range 900–1300 K at 1 bar, using an electrochemical technique with oxygen-specific calcia-stabilized zirconia (CSZ) electrolytes. Co + CoO or Fe + FeO was used as the reference electrode. Compositions of the (Co,Mn)O solid solutions were measured after each run by electron microprobe, and these were checked for internal consistency by measuring the lattice parameter by X-ray diffraction. Activity–composition relations were fitted to the Redlich–Kister formalism. (Co,Mn)O solid solutions exhibit slight positive deviations from ideality, which are symmetrical (corresponding to a regular solution mixing model) across the entire composition range with A₀ ^G = 3690(±47) Jmol⁻¹. Excess entropies and enthalpies were also derived from the emf data and gave S^ex=0.77(±0.08) JK⁻¹mol⁻¹ and H^ex=4558(±90) Jmol⁻¹ respectively. The experimental data from this study have been used to formulate the (Co,Mn)O/Co oxygen fugacity sensor to give an expression: where μO₂ ^CoCoO=−492,186 + 509.322 T − 53.284 T lnT + 0.02518 T², taken from O'Neill and Pownceby (1993).

Identification of non-indigenous phytoplankton species dominated bloom off Goa using inverted microscopy and pigment (HPLC) analysis     

P V BHASKAR  RAJDEEP ROY  MANGESH GAUNS  D M SHENOY  V D RAO  S MOCHEMADKAR 《Journal of Earth System Science》2011,120(6):1145-1154

An unusual phytoplankton bloom dominated by unidentified green coloured spherical algal cells (∼5μm diameter) and dinoflagellates (Heterocapsa, Scripsiella and Gymnodinium) was encountered along the coast of Goa, India during 27 and 29 January, 2005. Pigment analysis was carried out using both fluorometric and HPLC methods. Seawater samples collected from various depths within the intense bloom area showed high concentrations of Chl a (up to 106 mg m^− 3) associated with low bacterial production (0.31 to 0.52 mg C m^− 3 h^− 1) and mesozooplankton biomass (0.03 ml m^− 3). Pigment analyses of the seawater samples were done using HPLC detected marker pigments corresponding to prasinophytes, dinoflagellates and diatoms. Chlorophyll b (36–56%) followed by peridinin (15–30%), prasinoxanthin (11–17%) and fucoxanthin (7–15%) were the major diagnostic pigments while pigments of cryptophytes and cyanobacteria including alloxanthin and zeaxanthin formed <10%. Although microscopic analysis indicated a decline in the bloom, pheaophytin concentrations in the water column measured by both techniques were very low, presumably due to fast recycling and/or settling rate. The unique composition of the bloom and its probable causes are discussed in this paper.  相似文献
