 Models for estimating the pressure and temperature of igneous rocks from co-existing clino-pyroxene and liquid compositions are calibrated from existing data and from new data obtained from experiments performed on several mafic bulk compositions (from 8–30 kbar and 1100–1475° C). The resulting geothermobarometers involve thermodynamic expressions that relate temperature and pressure to equilibrium constants. Specifically, the jadeite (Jd; NaAlSi₂O₆)–diopside/hedenbergite (DiHd; Ca(Mg, Fe) Si₂O₆) exchange equilibrium between clinopyroxene and liquid is temperature sensitive. When compositional corrections are made to the calibrated equilibrium constant the resulting geothermometer is (i) 10⁴ T=6.73−0.26^* ln [Jd^px*Ca^liq*Fm^liqDiHd^px*Na^liq*Al^liq] −0.86^* ln [Mg^liqMg^liq+Fe^liq]+0.52^*ln [Ca^liq] an expression which estimates temperature to ±27 K. Compared to (i), the equilibrium constant for jadeite formation is more sensitive to pressure resulting in a thermobarometer (ii) P=−54.3+299^* T10⁴+36.4^* T10⁴ ln [Jd^px[Si^liq]^2*Na^liq*Al^liq] +367^*[Na^liq*Al^liq] which estimates pressure to ± 1.4 kbar. Pressure is in kbar, T is in Kelvin. Quantities such as Na^liq represent the cation fraction of the given oxide (NaO_0.5) in the liquid and Fm=MgO+FeO. The mole fractions of Jd and diopside+hedenbergite (DiHd) components are calculated from a normative scheme which assigns the lesser of Na or octahedral Al to form Jd; any excess Al^VI forms Calcium Tschermak’s component (CaTs; CaAlAlSiO₆); Ca remaining after forming CaTs and CaTiAl₂O₆ is taken as DiHd. Experimental data not included in the regressions were used to test models (i) and (ii). Error on predictions of T using model (i) is ±40 K. A pressure-dependent form of (i) reduces this error to ±30 K. Using model (ii) to predict pressures, the error on mean values of 10 isobaric data sets (0–25 kbar, 118 data) is ±0.3 kbar. Calculating thermodynamic properties from regression coefficients in (ii) gives V^Jd _f of 23.4 ±1.3 cm³/mol, close to the value anticipated from bar molar volume data (23.5 cm³/mol). Applied to clinopyroxene phenocrysts from Mauna Kea, Hawaii lavas, the expressions estimate equilibration depths as great as 40 km. This result indicates that transport was sufficiently rapid that at least some phenocrysts had insufficient time to re-equilibrate at lower pressures.

河北矾山杂岩体中单斜辉石的研究   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  

牛晓露  陈斌  马旭 《岩石学报》2009,25(2):359-373

河北矾山杂岩体属于二氧化硅不饱和的超钾质碱性-过碱性岩浆系列,由单斜辉石岩、辉石正长岩和碱长正长岩等不同类型岩石组成。各类型岩石主要组成矿物为单斜辉石、黑云母、石榴石和正长石。本文利用电子探针对单斜辉石进行了详细研究,发现所有单斜辉石属于高钙透辉石,随着岩浆的演化,主要表现为Fe²⁺对Mg²⁺的替代关系,结晶趋势为透辉石→钙铁辉石,这揭示矾山杂岩体岩浆体系的特点是高温、中等大小的氧逸度、贫硅、富碱（尤其是钾）。辉石中的Al^IV含量取决于岩浆的硅饱和度,硅越不饱和,Al^IV含量越高;Al^VI含量则与体系中的Al含量呈正相关关系。由Al对Si的替代引起的电荷不平衡主要由八面体位置的Fe³⁺来补偿,其次为少量的Ti⁴⁺和更少量的Al³⁺。体系中的Ti含量与体系的温度呈正相关关系,而Na含量则与辉石中的Ti和Fe³⁺含量成正相关关系。不同类型岩石中单斜辉石从核部到边部随着Mg^#的降低,Al、Ti含量呈现不同的演化趋势,这是因为它们于岩浆演化的不同阶段开始结晶,经历了不同的岩浆演化史。碱性岩中高钙辉石的出现和成分环带的普遍发育是由岩浆的贫硅富钾特征决定的。单斜辉石的成分不仅受控于结晶时的温度、压力条件,也受控于岩浆的总成分及其变异。  相似文献   

Distinctive crystal chemistry and site configuration of the clinopyroxene from alkali basaltic rocks     

A. Dal Negro  A. Cundari  E. M. Piccirillo  G. M. Molin  D. Uliana 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,92(1):35-43

A crystal chemical investigation of clinopyroxenes from a suite of nepheline-bearing lavas located in the Nyambeni Range of Kenya has delineated the polyhedral site configurations and related intracrystalline relationships. These are distinct from those determined for the clinopyroxene in an analogous suite of leucite-bearing lavas from the Sabatini volcanoes in the Roman Region of Italy (Dal Negro et al. 1985).The Nyambeni clinopyroxene, varying from salite to hedenbergite, preferentially accepts Na in the M2 site to balance increasing Fe²⁺ and Si, respectively, whereas the Sabatini clinopyroxene is confined within the salite field and preferentially accepts Al^iv to balance the effect of increasing (Fe³⁺+Ti⁴⁺+Al^vi+Cr³⁺)_M1.The Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ and K/Na ratios of the host rocks emerge as significant factors in determining the different polyhedral configurations and evolutions of the clinopyroxene from the two lava suites, respectively. The resulting Mg-Fe²⁺ order-disorder relationships in M1–M2 are also distinct in the two clinopyroxenes. A high degree of MgFe²⁺ order in M1–M2 corresponds to the largest configurational, hence energetic, difference between M1 and M2 in the Nyambeni clinopyroxene, whereas the converse applies to the Sabatini clinopyroxene.In view of the significant crystal chemical differences and distinct evolution trends, it is proposed that salites from alkali volcanic rocks may be referred to as Nyambeni-type or Sabatini-type, respectively.  相似文献   

Clinopyroxene geobarometry of magmatic rocks. Part 2. Structural geobarometers for basic to acid, tholeiitic and mildly alkaline magmatic systems   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12  

Paolo Nimis 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1999,135(1):62-74

The crystal structures of 212 experimentally synthesized, igneous clinopyroxenes were modeled from electronprobe chemical data. The coexisting melts span a wide range of petrologically relevant, dry and hydrous compositions, characterized by variable enrichment in silica and alkalis. Experimental conditions pertain to Earth's crust and uppermost mantle (P = 0–24 kbar; garnet absent) and a variety of f _O2 values (from CCO-buffered to air-buffered) and mineral assemblages (Cpx ± Opx ± Pig ± Ol ± Plag ± Spl ± Mt ± Amp ± Ilm). Unit-cell volume (V_cell) versus M1-polyhedron volume (V_M1) relations were investigated over a range of pressures and temperatures using data derived from structure modeling and corrected for thermal expansivity and compressibility. The relationships between pressure and clinopyroxene structural parameters were found to be dependent on the nature of the coexisting melt. To reduce compositional effects, only clinopyroxenes belonging to mildly alkaline (MA) and tholeiitic (TH) series were considered. Pressure was modeled as a linear function of V_cell, V_M1, and Mg/(Mg + Fe²⁺)^Cpx ratio. A calibration based on the whole data set (MA + TH) reproduced the experimental pressures within 1.4 kbar at the 1-σ level. The maximum residuals were 3.5 kbar and 3.9 kbar for MA- and TH-clinopyroxenes, respectively. Better statistics were obtained by considering MA- and TH-clinopyroxenes separately. A calibration based on the 69 MA-clinopyroxenes reproduced the experimental pressures within 1.1 kbar (1σ) and with a maximum residual of 2.7 kbar. A calibration based on the 143 TH-clinopyroxenes reproduced the experimental pressures within 1.0 kbar (1σ) and with a maximum residual of 3.4 kbar. When these geobarometers are applied to natural samples for which P is unknown, the correction for compressibility is necessarily made through a trial-and-error procedure. This expedient propagates an additional error that increases the above uncertainties and residuals by a factor of about 2. Applications to natural, igneous rocks for which the pressures of crystallization could be constrained based on experimental, petrological or geological evidence yielded pressure estimates that reproduced the expected values to within ca. 2 kbar. Compared to the MA-formulation, the TH-formulation appears to be less robust to variations in magma composition. When applied to high-pressure (>10 kbar) clinopyroxenes synthesized from very low Na (Na₂O < 1.5%) melts, the latter geobarometer can underestimate P by as much as 6 kbar. Calculation of P through the present geobarometers requires clinopyroxene major-element composition and an independent, accurate estimate of crystallization T. Underestimating T by 20 °C propagates into a 1-kbar increase in calculated P. The proposed geobarometers are incorporated in the CpxBar software program, which is designed to retrieve the pressure of crystallization from a clinopyroxene chemical analysis.

Mode of formation of hibonite (CaAl12O19) within the U-Th skarns from the granulites of S-E Madagascar     

Michel A. F. Rakotondrazafy  B. Moine  M. Cuney 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1996,123(2):190-201

 In Madagascar, hibonite occurs as a rather frequent mineral within thorianite-bearing skarns which are widespread in the Pan African granulitic formations constituting the S-E part of the Island (Tranomaro area). In these skarns, leucocratic segregations made up of CO₃-scapolite to meionite (An_equivalent=89–95% which implies T≥850° C), spinel and corundum were formed at stage 1 of metasomatism in a titanite-bearing matrix consisting of scapolite (An_eq=77–88) and aluminous diopside. During stage 2 of metasomatism, scapolite from the lenses were altered to anorthite+calcite while the less calcic scapolite remained stable which indicates T≈800° C. Hibonite crystallized at the expense of corundum and spinel. Expressed as mol% of the CaAl₁₂O₁₉/Ca(Al₁₀TiR²⁺)O₁₉/REE(Al₁₁R²⁺)O₁₉ [+Th (Al₁₀R²⁺ ₂)O₁₉] end-members (R ²⁺=Mg, Fe²⁺, Zn²⁺; Al=Al, Fe³⁺; Ti=Ti, Si), its composition varies from 26/72/2 to 50/23/27. The ideal activity of the CaAl₁₂O₁₉ component is about 0.25. Fluid inclusions in corundum, hibonite and anorthite are composed of nearly pure CO₂. In corundum, the isochores for primary inclusions are in agreement with the P-T estimates for regional metamorphism and stage 1 metasomatism (T≈850° C, P≈5 kbar). Inclusions with the highest density in hibonite and anorthite constrain P to about 3–3.5 kbar for T=800° C. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that, in addition to a low activity of CaAl₁₂O₁₉, stability of hibonite in equilibrium with anorthite and calcite implies an extremely low activity of silica (below the zircon-baddeleyite buffer). By contrast the activity of CO₂ may be high, in agreement with the observed fluid compositions. These results are corroborated by a short comparison with the other granulite occurrences of hibonite in Tanzania and South India. Received: 18 August 1994 / Accepted: 12 October 1995  相似文献   

Crystal chemistry and evolution of the clinopyroxene in a suite of high pressure ultramafic nodules from the Newer Volcanics of Victoria,Australia     

A. Dal Negro  S. Carbonin  C. Domeneghetti  G. M. Molin  A. Cundari  E. M. Piccirillo 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1984,86(3):221-229

A clinopyroxene suite from lherzolite inclusions associated with the Victorian (Australia) “Newer Volcanics” has been investigated with the aim of understanding the clinopyroxene crystal-chemical response to increasing temperature (e.g. a melting model and/or crystallization processes prevailing at high pressure). The M1 clinopyroxene polyhedron dominates the intracrystalline physical-chemical variations, essentially given by the triple substitution Al^VIFe _M1 ² Ti⁴⁺⇌Cr³⁺ Fe³⁺Mg _M1 ²⁺ corresponding to an increase in the volume of M1 with increasing Mg/Mg+Fe²⁺ (mg) for the clinopyroxene. A relative Ca²⁺ increase in M2 ensures the necessary charge balance. However, Na⁺ occupancy of M2 persists to the highest mg values, i.e. maximum thermal stability, where the volume of M2 is the largest due to Fe _M2 ²⁺ depletion. The variations of M1 and M2 volumes are greater than, and opposite to, the variations in the volume of T (tetrahedron) by factors of ca. 3 and 1.5, respectively. Inclusions with relatively low clinopyroxene content (Mt. Porndon specimens) show distinct intracrystalline variations, essentially reflecting lower Al^VI, i.e. higher volume of M1, and implying a lower pressure regime compared to clinopyroxene-rich analogues (Mt. Leura specimens). The intracrystalline relationships of the Mt. Porndon clinopyroxene suggest that the host peridotite inclusions survived larger degree of mantle melting at shallower depths relative to the Leura analogues.  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.

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   

Ca–Mn exchange between grossular and MnCl2 solutions at 2 kbar and 600°°C: reaction mechanism and evidence for non-ideal mixing in spessartine-grossular garnets     

I. Gavrieli  Alan Matthews  J. B. Holland 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1996,125(2-3):251-262

 The hydrothermal reaction between grossular and 1 molar manganese chloride solution was studied at 2 kbar and 600 °C at various bulk Ca/(Ca+Mn) compositions: Ca₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂+3Mn²⁺(aq) ⇔ Mn₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂+3Ca²⁺(aq) The reaction products are garnets of the spessartine-grossular solid-solution series which discontinuously armour the dissolving grossular grains. The first garnet to crystallize is spessartine rich (X ^gt _Mn≥0.95), reflecting the high Mn content of the solution, but as the reaction proceeds more calcium-rich garnets progressively overgrow the initial products. The armouring product layer is detached from the dissolving grossular, which allows the progressive overgrowth to occur on both its external and internal surfaces and results in the development of a two directional Ca/(Ca+Mn) zoning pattern in the product grains. The compositional changes in the run products are consistent with attainment of heterogeneous equilibrium between the external rims of the spessartine-grossular garnets and the bulk solutions in runs of duration ≥24 hours. Plots of ln K_D versus X ^gt _Ca maxima show linear variations that are not consistent with the ideal mixing that has been proposed for spessartine-grossular garnets at temperatures of 900 to 1200 °C. The data rather fit a regular solution model with the parameters ΔG° (600 °C, 2 kbar)=−8.0±0.8 kJ/mol and w ^gt _CaMn=2.6±2.0 kJ/mol. Existing solubility measurements and thermodynamic data from other Ca and Mn silicates support the calculated data. Grossular activities calculated using the w ^gt _CaMn parameter indicate that even in manganese-rich metapelites pressure estimates calculated using the garnet-plagioclase-Al₂SiO₅-quartz barometer will not be increased by more than 0.2 kbar.

Multiple origins of clinopyroxenes in alkali basaltic rocks     

Suzanne Y. Wass 《Lithos》1979,12(2):115-132

Geochemical and textural data on clinopyroxenes in individual alkali basaltic flows from provinces in eastern Australia and the Massif Central can be used to differentiate four different modes of origin (three at high pressure) for these clinopyroxenes. Many single flows from the two provinces contain clinopyroxenes of three, or even four, of these origins. Rare flows contain core clinopyroxene with overgrowths of clinopyroxenes of two distinct generation. Each of the overgrowth is compositionally analogous to clinopyroxenes occurring in xenoliths or as discrete crystals in the same host lava. Such rimming relationships provide evidence that the host magma has undergone high pressure crystallisation and confirm that some xenoliths and megacrysts are cognate. With decreasing pressure the major changes in clinopyroxene chemistry are an increase in the ratio Al^lv/Al^vi, a linear increase of atomic proportions of Ti and Al with decreasing Si, and an increase in the Ti: (100 Mg/(Mg + Σ Fe)) ratio of the pyroxenes. Al₂O₂ wt, % is an unreliable potential geobarometric indicator; consideration of tetrahedral and octahedral site occupancies by Al (Al^lv/Al^vl ratio) is necessary. High-pressure fractionation dominated by clinopyroxene is postulated for some basaltic-composition, resulting in SiO₂ depletion, alkali enrichment and decrease in the Mg/(Mg + Fe²⁺) value of the host magma.  相似文献   

H T -XRD study of synthetic ferrian magnesian spodumene: the effect of site dimension on the P 2₁/ c → C 2/ c phase transition     

F. Cámara  G. Iezzi  R. Oberti 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2003,30(1):20-30

 Ferrian magnesian spodumene was synthesized in the MLFSH system at P=0.4 GPa, T=700 °C, fO₂=NNO+2.3. The space group at room T is P2₁/c [a=9.638(3) ?, b=8.709(2) ?, c=5.258(2) ?, β=109.83(3)^∘, V=415.2 ?³]. The structure is topologically equivalent to that of ferrian spodumene, LiFeSi₂O₆, and has two symmetrically independent tetrahedral chains, A and B, and two independent octahedral sites, M1 and M2. The crystal-chemical composition was determined combining EMP, SIMS and single-crystal XRD analysis, yielding ^M2(Li_0.85Mg_0.09Fe²⁺ _0.06) ^M1(Fe³⁺ _0.85Mg_0.15)Si₂O₆. Li is ordered at the M2 site and Fe³⁺ is ordered at the M1 site, whereas Mg (and Fe²⁺) distribute over both octahedral sites. Structure refinements done at different temperatures (25, 70, 95, 125, 150 and 200 °C) allowed characterization of a reversible displacive P2₁/c→C2/c transition at 106 °C. Previous HT-XRD studies of Li-clinopyroxenes had shown that the transition temperature is inversely related to the size of the M1 cation. For the crystal of this work, the aggregate ionic radius at M1 is longer than that of ferrian spodumene, for which the transition temperature is −44 °C. The higher transition temperature observed can only be explained on the basis of the shorter aggregate radius at the M2 site (due to the presence of Mg substituting after Li), in keeping with the results obtained for ferromagnesian P2₁/c pyroxenes. The effects of all the chemical substitutions must be considered when modelling transition temperatures and thermodynamic behaviour in clinopyroxenes.

Structure refinement of a nonstoichiometric pyroxene synthesized under ambient pressure     

Masato Okui  Haruo Sawada  Fumiyuki Marumo 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,25(5):318-322

Structure refinement was carried out on a nonstoichiometric clinopyroxene grown under the ambient pressure from a glass with composition of 23%(mol)Di+53%Es+24%An. The degree of nonstoichiometry in this crystal is significantly larger than those of clinopyroxenes reported previously, which were found in high pressure products. The refinement gave the empirical chemical formula (Ca_0.742Fe_0.087)(Mg_0.016Al_0.888Fe_0.075)(Al_0.500Si_1.500)O₆ for the crystal and showed that vacancies are located mainly at M2 sites. Despite replacement of Si by Al, the crystal has a smaller cell volume than diopside primarily owing to a significant amount of Mg at M1 being replaced by Al.

An experimental study of Ca-(Fe,Mg) interdiffusion in silicate garnets   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Ca-(Fe,Mg) interdiffusion experiments between natural single crystals of grossular (Ca_2.74Mg_0.15 Fe_0.23Al_1.76Cr_0.04Si_3.05O₁₂) and almandine (Ca_0.21Mg_0.40 Fe_2.23Mn_0.13Al_2.00Cr_0.08Si_2.99O₁₂ or Ca_0.43Mg_0.36Fe_2.11 Al_1.95Si_3.04O₁₂), were undertaken at 900–1100 °C and 30 kbar, and pressures of 15.0–32.5 kbar at 1000 °C. Samples were buffered by Fe/FeO in most cases. Diffusion profiles were determined by electron microprobe. Across the experimental couples the interdiffusion coefficients (D˜) were almost independent of composition. The diffusion rates in an unbuffered sample were significantly faster than in buffered samples. The temperature dependence of the D˜ (Ca-Fe,Mg) interdiffusion coefficients may be described by at 30 kbar and 900–1100 °C. This activation energy is marginally higher than previous experimental studies involving Ca-free garnets; the interdiffusion coefficients are higher than previous studies for Fe-Mg and Fe-Mn exchange in garnet. The pressure dependence of D˜ (Ca-Fe,Mg) at 1000 °C yielded an activation volume of 11.2 cm³ mol⁻¹, which is higher than previous results from studies involving garnet and olivine. Comparison with simulation studies suggests a vacancy mechanism for divalent ion migration in garnet, with extrinsic processes being dominant up to very high temperatures.

Crystal-chemistry of high-pressure clinopyroxene from spinel lherzolite nodules Mts. Leura and Noorat Suites,Victoria, Australia     

L. Secco 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1988,39(3-4):175-185

Summary The clinopyroxene suites from lherzolite nodules from Mts. Leura and Noorat (Victoria, Australia) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalyses (Dal Negro et al., 1984; Cundari et al., 1986).The evolution of the host nodule is shown by general depletion of AlIv, AVI, Ti⁴⁺, Fe²⁺ and enrichment of Si, Mgm,, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺, Ca, while Na depletion occurs only in the clinopyroxenes from Mt. Noorat. Different mechanisms of cation substitution are thus involved in the two clinopyroxene suites, suggesting different total pressures of equilibration in the stability field of spinel.Modifications involving the M1 octahedron are mainly ascribed to variable amounts of trivalent cations, the volume of the M 1 site increasing with decreasing content of trivalent cations in each suite. The differences in M 1 site configuration between the Mt. Leura and Mt. Noorat clinopyroxene suites are ascribed to the different amounts of A1v1 and FeM,.The volume of the T tetrahedral site is generally related to A1Iv in each suite. An increase in T site volume from Mt. Leura to Mt. Noorat clinopyroxenes was found however, due to lengthening of the T-O_brg bond lengths, for similar AIIv contents. The volume of the M2 site, generally related to Ca content, was generally higher in the Noorat clinopyroxenes for similar Ca (and Ca + Na) contents, due to the longer M₂-O₃C₁ bond length, strongly related to Na content. Cell volume is linearly correlated to M 1 volume in each suite, but is definitely higher in the Noorat clinopyroxenes for similar M 1 volume. All the structural data show that the total pressure of equilibration in the Noorat clinopyroxenes was lower than that in the Leura clinopyroxenes, as suggested by chemical data.

Die Kristallchemie von hochdruck-klinopyroxenen aus spinell-lherzolithknollen von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat, Victoria, Australien

Zusammenfassung Die Klinopyroxenparagenesen aus Lherzolitheinschlüssen von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat (Victoria, Australien) wurden mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie und Elektronenmikrosonde untersucht (Dal Negro et al., 1984; Cundari et al., 1986). Die Lherzolitheinschlüsse zeigen generell eine Abnahme von Al^IV, Al^VI, Ti⁴⁺, Fe _MI ²⁺ und eine Zunahme von Si, Mgm,, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺ und Ca. Eine Abnahme von Na tritt nur in Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat auf. Verschiedene Substitutions-Mechanismen der Kationen weisen auf verschiedene Equilibrationsdrucke im Stabilitätsbereich der Spinelle hin und sind daher in den beiden Klinopyroxenserien zu berücksichtigen. Modifikationen in der oktaedrischen M1-Position wurden vor allem dem wechselnden Anteil an dreiwertigen Kationen zugeschrieben, wobei in jeder der beiden Serien das Volumen der Ml-Position mit abnehmenden Gehalten dreiwertiger Kationen zunimmt. Die unterschiedliche Konfiguration der M1-Position der Klinopyroxene von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat wird mit unterschiedlichen Gehalten an Al^VI und Fe _MI ²⁺ , in Zusammenhang gebracht.Das Volumen der tetraedrischen T-Position ist normalerweise mit den Gehalten an All^IV in jeder Serie verknüpft. Ein Vergleich der Klinopyroxene von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat zeigte jedoch, daß bei gleichen Gehalten an Al^VI das Volumen der tetraedrischen Position infolge einer Aufwertung der T-O_brg.-Bindungen zunimmt. Das Volumen der M2-Position, üblicherweise mit dem Ca-Gehalt korreliert, ist in den Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat bei ähnlichen Ca (und Ca f Na) Gehalten infolge größerer M2--O₃C₁-Abstände größer. Sie stehen also mit den Na-Gehalten in Verbindung.Das Volumen der Elementarzelle korreliert mit dem der M1-Position in jeder Serie; es ist aber in den Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat deutlich höher. Die Ergebnisse der Strukturuntersuchungen zeigen-wie auch die chemischen Daten-, daß die genannten Equilibrationsdrucke für die Klinopyroxene von Mt. Noorat niedriger waren als für die von Mt. Leura.

Mössbauer study of synthetic Mg0.22Fe0.78SiO3 clinopyroxene     

S. G. Eeckhout  E. De Grave  C. A. McCammon  R. Vochten 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2001,73(4):235-245

Summary  Transmission M?ssbauer spectra of synthetic Ca-free P2₁/c Mg_0.22Fe_0.78SiO₃ clinopyroxene were collected at temperatures in the range 4.2 to 745 K and in an external magnetic field of 60 kOe at 180 K. The magnetic order-disorder transition temperature was determined by M?ssbauer thermoscanning to be 21 ± 3 K. Above this temperature, all M?ssbauer spectra consist of a superposition of two doublets, respectively produced by Fe²⁺ ions at an almost regular octahedral M1 site and at a more distorted octahedral M2 site. The temperature variation of the Fe²⁺ center shifts were analyzed using the Debye model for the lattice vibrations. The characteristic M?ssbauer temperatures were found to be 356 K ± 35 K for M1 and 333 K ± 25 K for M2. From the external field (60 kOe) M?ssbauer spectrum recorded at 180 K, the principal component V _zz of the electric field gradient (EFG) was determined to be positive for both sites but precise values for the magnitudes of the asymmetry parameters η of the EFG could not be determined. The temperature variations of the M1 and M2 quadrupole splittings ΔE _Q(T ) are consistent with the higher distortion of the M2 octahedra. Using the crystal-field model to interpret ΔE _Q(T ), the energy gaps δ₁ and δ₂ of the first excited electronic states within the ⁵D orbital term were estimated to be 410 ± 50 cm⁻¹ and 730 ± 50 cm⁻¹ for M1, and δ₁ = 1050 ± 75 cm⁻¹ for M2.

High-pressure electronic absorption spectroscopy of natural and synthetic Cr<Superscript>3+</Superscript>-bearing clinopyroxenes     

M. N. Taran  H. Ohashi  K. Langer  A. A. Vishnevskyy 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(5):345-356

Comparison of polarized optical absorption spectra of natural Ca-rich diopsides and synthetic NaCrSi2O6 and LiCrSi2O6 clinopyroxenes, evidences as vivid similarities, as noticeable differences. The similarities reflect the fact that in all cases Cr3+ enters the small octahedral M1-site of the clinopyroxene structure. The differences are due to some iron content in the natural samples causing broad intense near infrared bands of electronic spin-allowed dd transitions of Fe2+(M1, M2) and intervalence Fe2+/Fe3+ charge-transfer transition, and by different symmetry and different local crystal fields strength of Cr3+ in the crystal structures. The positions of the spin-allowed bands of Cr3+, especially of the low energy one caused by the electronic 4 A 2g → 2 T 1g transition, are found to be in accordance with mean M1–O distances. The local relaxation parameter ε calculated for limCr 3+ → 0 from the spectra and interatomic á Cr - O ñ \left\langle {Cr - O} \right\rangle and á Mg - O ñ \left\langle {Mg - O} \right\rangle distances yields a very high value, 0.96, indicating that in the clinopyroxene structure the local lattice relaxation around the “guest” ion, Cr3+, deviates greatly from the “diffraction” value, ε = 0, than in any other known Cr3+-bearing systems studied so far. Under pressure the spin-allowed bands of Cr3+ shift to higher energies and decrease in intensity quite in accordance with the crystal field theoretical expectations, while the spin-forbidden absorption lines remain practically unshifted, but also undergo a strong weakening. There is no evident dependence of the Racah parameter B of Cr3+ reflecting the covalence of the oxygen-chromium bond under pressure: within the uncertainty of determination it may be regarded as practically constant. The values of CrO6 octahedral modulus, k\textpoly\textloc k_{\text{poly}}^{\text{loc}} , derived from high-pressure spectra of natural chromium diopside and synthetic NaCrSi2O6 kosmochlor are very close, ~203 and ~196 GPa, respectively, being, however, nearly twice higher than that of MgO6 octahedron in diopside, 105(4) GPa, obtained by Thompson and Downs (2008). Such a strong stiffening of the structural octahedron, i.e. twice higher value of k\textCr3 + \textloc k_{{{\text{Cr}}^{3 + } }}^{\text{loc}} comparing with that of k\textMg2 + \textloc k_{{{\text{Mg}}^{2 + } }}^{\text{loc}} , may be caused by simultaneous substitution of Ca2+ by larger Na+ in the neighboring M2 sites at so-called jadeite-coupled substitution Mg2+ + Ca2+ → Cr3+ + Na+. It is also remarkable that the values of CrO6 octahedral modulus of NaCrSi2O6 kosmochlor obtained here are nearly twice larger than that of 90(16) GPa, evaluated by high-pressure X-ray structural refinement by Origlieri et al. (2003). Taking into account that the overall compressibility of the clinopyroxene structure should mainly be due to the compressibility of M1- and M2-sites, our k\textCr3 + \textloc k_{{{\text{Cr}}^{3 + } }}^{\text{loc}} -value, ~196 GPa, looks much more consistent with the bulk modulus value, 134(1) GPa.  相似文献   

An empirical model for the calculation of spinel-melt equilibria in mafic igneous systems at atmospheric pressure: 1. Chromian spinels     

A. A. Ariskin  Georgy S. Nikolaev 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1996,123(3):282-292

 In order to develop a model for simulating naturally occurring chromian spinel compositions, we have processed published experimental data on chromian spinel-melt equilibrium. Out of 259 co-existing spinel-melt experiments reported in the literature, we have selected 118 compositions on the basis of run time, melt composition and experimental technique. These data cover a range of temperatures 1150–1500° C, oxygen fugacities of −13<log f _O2< −0.7, and bulk compositions ranging from basalt and norite, to komatiite. Six major spinel components with Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, Ti⁴⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺-bearing end-members were considered for the purpose of describing chromite saturation as a function of melt composition, temperature and oxygen fugacity at 1 atmosphere pressure (0.101 MPa). The empirically calibrated mineral-melt expression based on multiple linear regressions is: K ^Sp _i =A/T(K)+B log f _O2+C ln (Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺)_L+D ln R _L +E, where K ^Sp _i is an equilibrium constant and R _L is a melt structure-chemical parameter (MSCP). Twenty-eight forms of equilibrium constants were considered, including single distribution coefficients, exchange equilibrium constants, formation constants for AB₂O₄ components, as well as simple “spinel cation ratios”. For each form of the equilibrium constants, a set of 16 combinations of the MSCPs have been investigated. The MSCP is present in the form of composite ratios [e.g., Si/O, NBO/T,(Al+Si)/Si, or (Na+K)/Al] or as simple cation ratios (e.g., Mg/Fe²⁺). For the calculation of Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ species in silicate melts, we used existing equations, whereas the Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ ratio of spinels was calculated from the spinel stoichiometry. The regression parameters that best repoduce the experimental data were for the following constants: (Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺) _Sp , (Mg/Fe²⁺) _Sp /(Mg/Fe²⁺) _L , (Cr/Al) _Sp / (Cr/Al) _L , K _FeCr2O4, and Ti _Sp /Ti _L . These expressions have been combined into a single program called SPINMELT, which calculates chromite crystallization temperature and composition at a given f _O2 with an average accuracy of ∼10° C and 1–2 mol%. An example of the use of SPINMELT is presented for a magma parental to the Bushveld Complex. Received: 30 May 1995/Accepted: 1 November 1995  相似文献   

Crystal field transitions in Co2[Al4Si5]O18 cordierite and CoAl2O4 spinel determined by neutron spectroscopy     

Björn Winkler  Mark J. Harris  Roger S. Eccleston  Karsten Knorr  Bernard Hennion 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1997,25(1):79-82

Inelastic magnetic neutron scattering has been used to determine the energy of the ⁴ A ₂→⁴ T ₂ transition in CoAl₂O₄ spinel and the δ₁ transition in Co₂[Al₄Si₅]O₁₈ cordierite. The observed crystal field splitting in Co-spinel is 485 meV (3900 cm⁻¹), which corresponds to a crystal field stabilization energy of 56.2 kJmol⁻¹. The transition energy of the δ₁ transition in Co-cordierite has been determined to be 21 meV (170 cm⁻¹). The present data demonstrate that magnetic neutron scattering can be used to measure crystal field transitions at energies of interest in the study of 3d-containing silicates. It may be used to measure transition energies when the use of optical spectroscopy is inappropriate. Received: 30 January 1997 / Accepted: 5 July 1997  相似文献   

Phase relations in garnet-bearing metabasites of prehnite-pumpellyite facies from the Darbut-Sartuohai ophiolite, Western Junggar of Xinjiang, China     

L. Zhang  M. Sun  B. Xu 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2001,71(1-2):67-85

Summary Previous petrogenetic grids for very low grade metamorphism do not apply to garnet-bearing prehnite-pumpellyite facies rocks. Garnet-bearing metabasites with Act – absent of prehnite-pumpellyite facies have been found in the Darbut-Sartuohai ophiolite, Xinjiang, China. Results of thermodynamic calculation in the CMASH system using the internally consistent mineral thermodynamic database of Berman (1988) show that equilibria reactions among the end-member species in mineral paragenesis of Pmp-Prh-Grs-Zo-Chl-Qtz intersect at a pressure of 4.75 kbar and temperature of 350 °C. The association of grossular-rich garnet and pumpellyite occurs at pressures and temperatures similar to the Pmp-Act facies. Based on the petrogenetic grid derived in this study, peak metamorphic conditions for metabasites from the Darbut-Sartuohai ophiolite are 310 to 330 °C, and 3.0 to 4.0 kbar, which are affected by the substitution of Fe³⁺Al₋₁. This study shows that grossular-rich garnet can appear in metabasites of the prehnite-pumpellyite facies, but it depends on the substitution between Fe³⁺ and Al in the CMASH+Fe³⁺ system.

Zusammenfassung Phasenbeziehungen in Grandit-führenden Metabasiten (Prehnit-Pumpelleyit Fazies) vom Darbut-Sartuohai Ophiolit, westliches Junggar (Xinjiang, China) Bereits existierende petrogenetische Netze für niedrig-gradige Metamorphose k?nnen nicht auf Grandit-führende Metabasite angewendet werden. Solche Metabasite der Prehnit-Pumpellyit Fazies wurden in Darbut-Sartuohai Ophiolit gefunden. Thermodynamische Berechnungen mit dem Datensatz von Berman (1988) zeigen, dass die Endglieder der Mineralparagenese Pmp-Prh-Grs-Zo-Chl-Qtz einen invarianten Punkt bei 4.75 kbar und 350 °C bilden. Daher kommen Grossular-reicher Grandit und Pumpellyit unter ?hnlichen PT-Bedingungen der Pmp-Act Fazies vor. Anhand des petrogenetischen Netzes, das in der hier vorliegenden Arbeit berechet worden ist, konnten die Peak-metamorphen Bedingungen für den Darbut-Sartuohai Ophiolit mit 310–330 °C und 3.0–4.0 kbar ermittelt werden. Diese Bedingungen sind vom Fe³⁺Al₋₁ Austausch abh?ngig. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass Grossular-reiche Granate im CAMSH-System in der Prehnit-Pumpellyit Fazies selbst bei Anwesenheit von Chlorit stabil sind.

The Ca-Eskola component in eclogitic clinopyroxene as a function of pressure, temperature and bulk composition: an experimental study to 15 GPa with possible implications for the formation of oriented SiO2-inclusions in omphacite     

Jürgen Konzett  Daniel J. Frost  Alexander Proyer  Peter Ulmer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,155(2):215-228

Experiments have been conducted in the P-T range 2.5–15 GPa and 850–1,500°C using bulk compositions in the systems SiO₂–TiO₂–Al₂O₃–Fe₂O₃–FeO–MnO–MgO–CaO–Na₂O–K₂O–P₂O₅ and SiO₂–TiO₂–Al₂O₃–MgO–CaO–Na₂O to investigate the Ca-Eskola (CaEs Ca_0.5□_0.5AlSi₂O₆) content of clinopyroxene in eclogitic assemblages containing garnet + clinopyroxene + SiO₂ ± TiO₂ ± kyanite as a function of P, T, and bulk composition. The results show that CaEs_ss in clinopyroxene increases with increasing T and is strongly bulk composition dependent whereby high CaEs-contents are favoured by bulk compositions with high normative anorthite and low diopside contents. In this study, a maximum of 18 mol% CaEs_ss was found at 6 GPa and 1,350°C in a kyanite-eclogite assemblage garnet + clinopyroxene + kyanite + rutile + coesite. By comparison, no significant increase in CaEs_ss with increasing P could be observed. If the formation of oriented SiO₂-rods frequently observed in eclogititc clinopyroxenes is due to the retrogressive breakdown of a CaEs-component then these textures are a cooling rather than a decompression phenomenon and are most likely to be found in kyanite-bearing eclogites cooled from temperatures ≥750°C. The presence of clinopyroxene with approx. 4 mol% CaEs_ss in an experiment conducted at 2.5 GPa/850°C confirms earlier suggestions based on field data that vacancy-rich clinopyroxenes are not necessarily restricted to ultrahigh pressure metamorphic conditions.
