Natural specimens of green gemological euclase (chemical formula BeAlSiO4(OH)) from Brazil were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption. In addition to iron-related EPR spectra, analyzed recently in blue and colorless euclase, chromium and vanadium-related EPR spectra were also detected in green euclase. Their role as color causing centers is discussed. The results indicate that Cr3+ ions substitute for Al3+ ions in the euclase structure. The EPR rotation patterns of Cr3+ with electron spin S = 3/2 were analyzed with monoclinic spin Hamiltonian leading to the parameters of g xx , g yy and g zz equal to 2.018, 2.001 and 1.956 and electronic fine structure parameters of D = −8.27 GHz and E = 1.11 GHz, respectively, with high asymmetry ratio E/D = 0.13. For the vanadium-related EPR spectra the situation is different. It is concluded that vanadium is incorporated as the vanadyl radical VO2+ with electron spin S = 1/2 with nearly axial spin Hamiltonian parameters gzz = 1.9447, g xx  = 1.9740 g yy  = 1.9669 and axial hyperfine interactions due to the nuclear spin I = 7/2 of the 51V isotope leading to A zz  = 502 MHz, A xx  = 150 MHz and A yy  = 163 MHz. The green color of euclase is caused by two strong broad absorption bands centered at 17,185 and 24,345 cm−1 which are attributed to the 4A2g → 4T2g, 4T1g transitions of Cr3+, respectively. Vanadyl radicals may introduce some absorption bands centered in the near infrared with tail extending into the visible spectral range.  相似文献

A natural sample of clinochlore from the Longitudinal Valley area of northeastern Taiwan has been characterized by using the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic techniques. The lattice parameters of the monoclinic (IIb) clinochlore with the composition (Mg2.988 Al1.196 Fe1.6845 Mn0.026)5.8945 (Si2.559 Al1.441)4 O10 (OH)8 have been calculated from the powder XRD data and are found to be a = 5.347 Å, b = 9.223 Å, c = 14.250 Å, β = 97.2° and Z = 2. The thermal behaviour of the sample showed the typical behaviour of clinochlore with a hydroxyl content of 12.5 wt%. The EPR spectrum at room temperature exhibits two resonance signals centred at g ≈ 2.0 and g ≈ 8.0. The signal at g ≈ 2.0 shows a six-line hyperfine structure which is a characteristic of Mn2+ ions in octahedral symmetry. The resonance signal at g ≈ 8.0 is a characteristic of Fe3+ ions. The EPR spectra have also been recorded at different temperatures (123–295 K). The population of spin levels (N) has been calculated for g ≈ 2.0 and g ≈ 8.0 resonance signals. It is observed that N increases with decreasing temperature. From EPR spectra, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters have been evaluated. The zero-field splitting parameter (D) is found to be temperature dependent. The peak-to-peak width of the g ≈ 8.0 resonance signal is found to increase with decrease in temperature.  相似文献

A comparative study of blue and green beryl crystals (from the region of Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption (OA) spectroscopy is reported. The EPR spectra show that Fe3+ in blue beryl occupies a substitutional Al3+ site and in green beryl is localized in the structural channels between two O6 planes. On the other hand the infrared spectra show that the alkali content in the blue beryl is mostly at substitutional and/or interstitial sites and in green beryl is mostly in the structural channels. The OA spectra show two types of Fe2+. Thermal treatments above 200° C in green beryl cause the reduction of Fe3+ into Fe2+ accompanied by a change of color to blue. The blue beryl color does not change on heating. The kinetics of the thermal conversion of Fe3+ into Fe2+ is composed of two first order processes; the first one has an activation energy ΔE 1=0.30 eV and the second one has an activation energy ΔE 2=0.46 eV.  相似文献

Synthetic ringwoodite γ-(Mg1?x Fe x )2SiO4 of 0.4 ≤ x ≤ 1.0 compositions and variously colored micro-grains of natural ringwoodite in shock metamorphism veins of thin sections of two S6-type chondrites were studied by means of microprobe analysis, TEM and optical absorption spectroscopy. Three synthetic samples were studied in addition with Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössbauer spectra consist of two doublets caused by VIFe2+ and VIFe3+, with IS and QS parameters close to those established elsewhere (e.g., O’Neill et al. in Am Mineral 78:456–460, 1993). The Fe3+/Fetotal ratio evaluated by curve resolution of the spectra, ranges from 0.04 to 0.1. Optical absorption spectra of all synthetic samples studied are qualitatively very similar as they are directly related to the iron content. They differ mostly in the intensity of the observed absorption features. The spectra consist of a very strong high-energy absorption edge and a series of absorption bands of different width and intensity. The three strongest and broadest absorptions of them are attributed to splitting of electronic spin-allowed 5 T 2g → 5 E g transitions of VIFe2+ and intervalence charge-transfer (IVCT) transition between ferrous and ferric ions in adjacent octahedral sites of the ringwoodite structure. The spin-allowed bands at ca. 8,000 and 11,500 cm?1 weakly depend on temperature, whilst the Fe2+/Fe3+ IVCT band at ~16,400 cm?1 displays very strong temperature dependence: i.e., with increasing temperature it decreases and practically disappears at about 497 K, a behavior typical for bands of this type. With increasing pressure the absorption edge shifts to lower energies while the spin-allowed bands shift to higher energy and strongly decreases in intensity. The IVCT band also strongly weakens and vanishes at about 9 GPa. We assigned this effect to pressure-induced reduction of Fe3+ in ringwoodite. By analogy with synthetic samples three broad bands in spectra of natural (meteoritic) blue ringwoodite are assigned to electronic spin-allowed transitions of VIFe2+ (the bands at ~8,600 and ~12,700 cm?1) and Fe2+/Fe3+ IVCT transition (~18,100 cm?1), respectively. Spectra of colorless ringwoodite of the same composition consist of a single broad band at ca. 12,000 cm?1. It is assumed that such ringwoodite grains are inverse (Fe, Mg)2SiO4-spinels and that the single band is caused by the split spin-allowed 5 E → 5 T 2 transition of IVFe2+. Ringwoodite of intermediate color variations between dark-blue and colorless are assumed to be partly inversed ringwoodite. No glassy material between the grain boundaries in the natural colored ringwoodite aggregates was found in our samples and disprove the cause of the coloration to be due to light scattering effect (Lingemann and Stöffler in Lunar Planet Sci 29(1308), 1998).  相似文献

Irradiation techniques are often applied to gem minerals for color enhancement purposes. Natural green, blue and colorless specimens of rare gemological quality euclase, BeAlSiO4(OH), from Brazil were irradiated with gamma rays in the dose range from 10 to 500 kGy. Although the colors of the different specimens were not strongly influenced, two different irradiation-induced paramagnetic defect centers were found by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The first one is an O− hole center interacting with one Al neighbor and the second is a Ti3+ electron center. The EPR angular rotation patterns of both irradiation-induced defects were measured and analyzed. The results suggest that O− hole centers are formed by dissociation of the hydroxyl ions, similar as in topaz crystals. In euclase the OH− ions interconnect distorted Al octahedra and Be tetrahedra in O5 positions. During irradiation, the electrons are captured by titanium ions (Ti4+ + e−), leading to the formation of paramagnetic Ti3+ ions. From the EPR rotation patterns it is clear that these ions substitute for Al ions. The spin Hamiltonian parameters of the irradiation-induced defects are analyzed and compared to similar defect centers in other mineral specimens. Thermal annealing experiments show that the O− hole centers and Ti3+ electron centers are directly connected through the radiation process.  相似文献

Cordierite has the ideal formula (Mg,Fe)2Al4Si5O18 .x(H2O,CO2), but it must contain some Fe3+ to account for its blue color and strong pleochroism. The site occupation and concentration of Fe3+ in two Mg-rich natural cordierites have been investigated by EPR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. In addition, powder IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and TEM examination were used to characterize the samples. Single-crystal and powder EPR spectra indicate that Fe3+ is located on T11 in natural cordierites and not in the channels. The amount in Mg-rich cordierites is very small with an upper limit set by Mössbauer spectroscopy giving less than 0.004 cations per formula unit (pfu). Fe3+ in cordierite can, therefore, be considered insignificant for most petrologic calculations. Heat-treating cordierite in air at 1,000?°C for 2?days causes an oxidation and/or loss of Fe2+ on T11, together with an expulsion of Na+ from the channels, whereas heating at the Fe–FeO buffer produces little Fe3+ in cordierite. Heating at 1,000?°C removes all class I H2O, but small amounts of class II H2O remain as shown by the IR measurements. No evidence for channel Fe2+ or Fe3+ in the heat-treated samples was found. The blue color in cordierite arises from a broad absorption band (E//b and weaker with E//a) around 18,000?cm?1 originating from charge-transfer between Fe2+ in the octahedron and Fe3+ in the edge-shared T11 tetrahedron. It therefore appears that all natural cordierites contain some tetrahedral Fe3+. The brown color of samples heated in air may be due to the formation of very small amounts of submicroscopic magnetite and possibly hematite. These inclusions in cordierite can only be identified through TEM study.  相似文献

The interdiffusion coefficient of Mg–Fe in olivine (D Mg–Fe) was obtained at 1,400–1,600 °C at the atmospheric pressure with the oxygen fugacity of 10?3.5–10?2 Pa using a diffusion couple technique. The D Mg–Fe shows the anisotropy (largest along the [001] direction and smallest along the [100] direction), and its activation energy (280–320 kJ/mol) is ~80–120 kJ/mol higher than that estimated at lower temperatures. The D Mg–Fe at temperatures of >1,400 °C can be explained by the cation-vacancy chemistry determined both by the Fe3+/Fe2+ equilibrium and by the intrinsic point defect formation with the formation enthalpy of 220–270 kJ/mol depending on the thermodynamical model for the Fe3+/Fe2+ equilibrium in olivine. The formation enthalpy of 220–270 kJ/mol for the point defect (cation vacancy) in olivine is consistent with that estimated from the Mg self-diffusion in Fe-free forsterite. The increase in the activation energy of D Mg–Fe at >1,400 °C is thus interpreted as the result of the transition of diffusion mechanism from the transition metal extrinsic domain to the intrinsic domain at the atmospheric pressure.  相似文献

Four samples of synthetic chromium-bearing spinels of (Mg, Fe2+)(Cr, Fe3+)2O4 composition and four samples of natural spinels of predominantly (Mg, Fe2+)(Al, Cr)2O4 composition were studied at ambient conditions by means of optical absorption spectroscopy. Synthetic end-member MgCr2O4 spinel was also studied at pressures up to ca. 10 GPa. In both synthetic and natural samples, chromium is present predominantly as octahedral Cr3+ seen in the spectra as two broad intense absorption bands in the visible range caused by the electronic spin-allowed 4 A 2g  → 4 T 2g and 4 A 2g  → 4 T 1g transitions (U- and Y-band, respectively). A distinct doublet structure of the Y-band in both synthetic and natural spinels is related to trigonal distortion of the octahedral site in the spinel structure. A small, if any, splitting of the U-band can only be resolved at curve-fitting analysis. In all synthetic high-chromium spinels, a couple of relatively narrow and weak bands of the spin-allowed transitions 4 A 2g  → 2 E g and 4 A 2g  → 2 T 1g of Cr3+, intensified by exchange-coupled interaction between Cr3+ and Fe3+ at neighboring octahedral sites of the structure, appear at ~14,400 and ~15,100 cm?1. A vague broad band in the range from ca. 15,000 to 12,000 cm?1 in synthetic spinels is tentatively attributed to IVCr2+ + VICr3+ → IVCr3+ + VICr2+ intervalence charge-transfer transition. Iron, mainly as octahedral Fe3+, causes intense high-energy absorption edge in near UV-range (ligand–metal charge-transfer O2? → Fe3+, Fe2+ transitions). As tetrahedral Fe2+, it appears as a strong infrared absorption band at around 4,850 cm?1 caused by electronic spin-allowed 5 E → 5 T 2 transitions of IVFe2+. From the composition shift of the U-band in natural and synthetic MgCr2O4 spinels, the coefficient of local structural relaxation around Cr3+ in spinel MgAl2O4–MgCr2O4 system was evaluated as ~0.56(4), one of the lowest among (Al, Cr)O6 polyhedra known so far. The octahedral modulus of Cr3+ in MgCr2O4, derived from pressure-induced shift of the U-band of Cr3+, is ~313 (50) GPa, which is nearly the same as in natural low-chromium Mg, Al-spinel reported by Langer et al. (1997). Calculated from the results of the curve-fitting analysis, the Racah parameter B of Cr3+ in natural and synthetic MgCr2O4 spinels indicates that Cr–O-bonding in octahedral sites of MgCr2O4 has more covalent character than in the diluted natural samples. Within the uncertainty of determination in synthetic MgAl2O4 spinel, B does not much depend on pressure.  相似文献

Crystals of the olivine minerals, tephroite (Mn2SiO4) and fayalite (Fe2SiO4) containing manganese(II) and iron (II and trace of III), respectively, were synthesized. Glasses were prepared from these crystalline materials by a splat-quench technique. Measurement of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of all these powdered samples at room temperature show that the g-factors of Mn2+ in both glassy and crystalline environments (geff = 2.004) are the same, although the EPR linewidths (for glass, ΔHpp = 200 G; for crystals ΔHpp = 287 G) suggest less clustering of paramagnetic Mn2+ ions in the glass. Mn2+ probably occupies a distorted octahedral site in the tephroite crystal structure, although a four-fold coordination is suggested from other spectroscopic investigation on this glass. The EPR parameters of Fe3+ in synthetic fayalite glass (geff = 2.01 and 6.00; ΔHpp=150 and 1375 G, respectively, for the high and low field resonances) and powdered crystals (geff = 3.31 and ΔHpp = 900 G) indicated that Fe3+ ion in the crystals, is probably located in a distorted tetragonal site M2 and an axial environment has been proposed in the glassy system.  相似文献

Lithian ferrian enstatite with Li2O = 1.39 wt% and Fe2O3 7.54 wt% was synthesised in the (MgO–Li2O–FeO–SiO2–H2O) system at P = 0.3 GPa, T = 1,000°C, fO2 = +2 Pbca, and a = 18.2113(7), b = 8.8172(3), c = 5.2050(2) Å, V = 835.79(9) Å3. The composition of the orthopyroxene was determined combining EMP, LA-ICP-MS and single-crystal XRD analysis, yielding the unit formula M2(Mg0.59Fe 0.21 2+ Li0.20) M1(Mg0.74Fe 0.20 3+ Fe 0.06 2+ ) Si2O6. Structure refinements done on crystals obtained from synthesis runs with variable Mg-content show that the orthopyroxene is virtually constant in composition and hence in structure, whereas coexisting clinopyroxenes occurring both as individual grains or thin rims around the orthopyroxene crystals have variable amounts of Li, Fe3+ and Mg contents. Structure refinement shows that Li is ordered at the M2 site and Fe3+ is ordered at the M1 site of the orthopyroxene, whereas Mg (and Fe2+) distributes over both octahedral sites. The main geometrical variations observed for Li-rich samples are actually due to the presence of Fe3+, which affects significantly the geometry of the M1 site; changes in the geometry of the M2 site due to the lower coordination of Li are likely to affect both the degree and the kinetics of the non-convergent Fe2+-Mg ordering process in octahedral sites.  相似文献

Only one part of the EPR lines of a kaolinite spectrum of structural Fe3+ is clearly observable because of the overlapping of other lines with other spectra. For this reason, to determine the structural Fe3+ concentration we used the line near g=9, although it is not intense. A standard is needed: powders of ZnS containing given concentrations of Mn2+ (isoelectronic to Fe3+) were used for this purpose. Using the simulations of the EPR spectra, the concentration (number of Fe3+ per Al3+) is determined; it is in the range 10?5 to 10?4 for our samples. Considering that the crystal-field disorder around Fe3+ is responsible for line broadening, we looked for a possible effect of the broadening on the intensity of the EPR spectra. This effect is taken as a distribution of the parameter λ=B22/B20. The influence of the parameter λ and its statistical distribution on the position, shape, width and intensity of the EPR line has been calculated using simulation procedures. The correction due to the disorder on the calculated concentration is of the same order of magnitude as the precision measurement. This method can be applied for other kaolinites by comparing the area of their g=9 lines with known ones.  相似文献

Two synthetic series of spinels, MgCr2O4–Fe2+Cr2O4 and MgCr2O4–MgFe2 3+O4 have been studied by Raman spectroscopy to investigate the effects of Fe2+ and Fe3+ on their structure. In the first case, where Fe2+ substitutes Mg within the tetrahedral site, there is a continuous and monotonic shift of the Raman modes A1g and Eg toward lower wavenumbers with the increase of the chromite component into the spinel, while the F2g modes remain nearly in the same position. In the second series, for low Mg-ferrite content, Fe3+ substitutes for Cr in the octahedral site; when the Mg-ferrite content nears 40 %, a drastic change in the Raman spectra occurs as Fe3+ starts entering the tetrahedral site as well, consequently pushing Mg to occupy the octahedral one. The Raman spectral region between 620 and 700 cm?1 is associated to the octahedral site, where three peaks are present and it is possible to observe the Cr–Fe3+ substitution and the effects of order–disorder in the tetrahedral site. The spectral range at 500–620 cm?1 region shows that there is a shift of modes toward lower values with the increase of the Mg-ferrite content. The peaks in the region at 200–500 cm?1, when observed, show little or negligible Raman shift.  相似文献

Six natural chloritoid crystals with Fe2+ and Fe3+ contents ranging from 4.15 to 12.81 and from 0.411 to 0.849g-atoms/l, respectively, as determined by means of microprobe and Mössbauer techniques, served as reference material to develop non-destructive microscope-spectrophotometric methods for quantitative Fe2+ – Fe3+ determinations in chloritoids from unpolarized spectra of (001) platelets. Fe2+ concentrations in g-atom/l can be obtained from [ [Fe3+]=C1xD1/t where D1 = log10(I0/I at 28,000 cm-1 and t=crystal thickness in cm; C1 is a conttant that may be influenced somewhat by experimental conditions and is found to be 0.002289 with the experimental set-up used in this study. Fe2+ concentrations in g-atom/l can be obtained from [Fe2+]=C1xD1/D1-C3 with D2=log10(I0/I) at 16,300 cm?1 and constants C4 = 45.36 and C5 = 3.540. Due to the uncertainties in absorbance measurements, D1 and D2 and the thickness measurements, the accuracies are ±0.05 and ±0.15 g-atom/l for [Fe3+] and [Fe2+], respectively. The determinations may be carried out on chloritoid grains in normal thin sections with an areal resolution of ～10 μm.  相似文献

Structural and compositional data as well as 57Fe Mössbauer parameters were determined on a natural Mn-rich monoclinic ilvaite crystal (ideal composition CaFe 2 2+ Fe3+Si2O8(OH)) which was used for electrical conductivity and thermopower measurements (part 2 of this paper). A zonar structure was found by electron microprobe analysis with a strong decrease in Mn concentration from the rim to the centre of the crystal in a plane perpendicular to the [001] direction. X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the most Mn-rich composition was performed. Mn2+ cations populate preferentially M2 sites of the ilvaite unit cell (space group P21/a), to a lower extent they reside on M1 and a reduced part is on Ca sites. The monoclinic angle was determined to β=90.178(4)°. The structural results are compared to literature data for other natural Mn-rich as well as low-impurity ilvaites; this concerns in particular the lattice b parameter and the undecided issue of the varying β angle. In the literature, the order parameter σ, which describes the varying degree of ordering of Fe2+–Fe3+ pairs on M11 and M12 sites in chains running parallel to the [001] direction, and structural defects are thought to be related to β. The interrelationship between β and σ with respect to a possible twin domain structure is discussed. Various 57Fe Mössbauer spectra were recorded between 151 K and 327 K. Mössbauer parameters and Fe2+/Fe3+ concentration ratios were determined from the fits to the spectra. Fitting of subspectra was accomplished with the idea to find assignments of Fe2+ and Fe3+ doublets in agreement with X-ray results. The fraction of Mn2+ substituting Fe2+ on M1 sites could be estimated.  相似文献

Despite a large number of studies of iron spin state in silicate perovskite at high pressure and high temperature, there is still disagreement regarding the type and P–T conditions of the transition, and whether Fe2+ or Fe3+ or both iron cations are involved. Recently, our group published results of a Mössbauer spectroscopy study of the iron behaviour in (Mg,Fe)(Si,Al)O3 perovskite at pressures up to 110 GPa (McCammon et al. 2008), where we suggested stabilization of the intermediate spin state for 8- to 12-fold coordinated ferrous iron ([8–12]Fe2+) in silicate perovskite above 30 GPa. In order to explore the behaviour in related systems, we performed a comparative Mössbauer spectroscopic study of silicate perovskite (Fe0.12Mg0.88SiO3) and majorite (with two compositions—Fe0.18Mg0.82SiO3 and Fe0.11Mg0.88SiO3) at pressures up to 81 GPa in the temperature range 296–800 K, which was mainly motivated by the fact that the oxygen environment of ferrous iron in majorite is quite similar to that in silicate perovskite. The [8–12]Fe2+ component, dominating the Mössbauer spectra of majorites, shows high quadrupole splitting (QS) values, about 3.6 mm s?1, in the entire studied P–T region (pressures to 58 GPa and 296–800 K). Decrease of the QS of this component with temperature at constant pressure can be described by the Huggins model with the energy splitting between low-energy e g levels of [8–12]Fe2+ equal to 1,500 (50) cm?1 for Fe0.18Mg0.82SiO3 and to 1,680 (70) cm?1 for Fe0.11Mg0.88SiO3. In contrast, for the silicate perovskite dominating Mössbauer component associated with [8–12]Fe2+ suggests the gradual change of the electronic properties. Namely, an additional spectral component with central shift close to that for high-spin [8–12]Fe2+ and QS about 3.7 mm s?1 appeared at ~35 (2) GPa, and the amount of the component increases with both pressure and temperature. The temperature dependence of QS of the component cannot be described in the framework of the Huggins model. Observed differences in the high-pressure high-temperature behaviour of [8–12]Fe2+ in the silicate perovskite and majorite phases provide additional arguments in favour of the gradual high-spin—intermediate-spin crossover in lower mantle perovskite, previously reported by McCammon et al. (2008) and Lin et al. (2008).  相似文献

The blue colors of several minerals and gems, including aquamarine (beryl, Be3Al2Si6O18) and cordierite (Al3(Mg, Fe)2Si5AlO18), have been attributed to charge transfer (CT) between adjacent Fe2+ and Fe3+ cations, while Fe2+→Ti4+ CT has been proposed for blue kyanites (Al2SiO5). Such assignments were based on chemical analyses and on polarization-dependent absorption bands measured in visible-region spectra. We have attempted to characterize the Fe cations in each of these minerals by Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). In blue kyanites, significant amounts of both Fe2+ and Fe3+ were detected with MS, indicating that Fe2+→Fe3+ CT, Fe2+→Ti4+ CT, and Fe2+ and Fe3+ crystal field transitions each could contribute to the electronic spectra. In aquamarines, coexisting Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were resolved by MS, supporting our assignment of the broad, relatively weak band at 16,100 cm?1 in E∥c spectra to Fe2+→Fe3+ CT between Fe cations replacing Al3+ ions 4.6Å apart along c. A band at 17,500 cm?1 in E⊥c spectra of cordierite is generally assigned to Fe2+ (oct)→Fe3+ (tet) CT between cations only 2.74 Å apart. However, no Fe3+ ions were detected in the MS at 293K of several blue cordierites showing the 17,500 cm?1 band and reported to contain Fe3+. A quadrupole doublet with parameters consistent with tetrahedral Fe3+ appears in 77K MS, but the Fe3+/Fe2+ ratios from MS are much smaller than values from chemical analysis. These results sound a cautionary note when correlating Mössbauer and chemically determined Fe3+/Fe2+ ratios for minerals exhibiting Fe2+→Fe3+ CT.  相似文献

Thermal diffusivity (D) was measured up to ~1,800 K of refractory materials using laser-flash analysis, which lacks radiative transfer gains and contact losses. The focus is on single-crystal MgO and Al2O3. These data are needed to benchmark theoretical models and thereby improve understanding of deep mantle processes. Measurements of AlN, Mg(OH)2, and isostructural BeO show that the power law (D = AT ?B ) where T is temperature holds for simple structures. Results for more structurally complicated corundum Al2O3 with and without impurity atoms are best fit by CT d  + ET f where d ~ ?1 and f ~ ?4, whereas for isostructural Fe2O3, f is near +3 and multiphase ilmenite Fe1.12Ti0.88O3 is fit by the above power law. The positive temperature response for hematite is attributed to diffusive radiative transfer arising from electronic–vibronic coupling. We find good agreement of k and D data on single-crystal and non-porous ceramic Al2O3. For the corundum structure, D is nearly independent of T at high T. Although D at 298 K depends strongly on chemical composition, at high temperature, these differences are reduced. Thermal conductivity provided for MgO and Al2O3, using LFA data and literature values of density and heat capacity, differs from contact measurements which include systematic errors. The effect of pressure is discussed, along with implications for the deepest mantle.  相似文献

Radiation-induced smoky color and associatedelectron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals develop only in potassium feldspar (KAlSi3O8) free of structurally bound molecular water. Fluid inclusion water does not influence coloration. The integrated intensity of each of the four bands (11,600, 16,200, 19,100, and 27,200 cm?1) in the optical absorption spectra are linearly correlated with the doubly-integrated intensity of a broad, asymmetric first derivative atg eff=2.027 in EPR spectra. In microcline, the EPR pattern is resolved into an asymmetric six-line pattern atg eff=2.024 and a single derivative atg eff=2.009 which, based on analogy to alkali-silicate glass, are due respectively to [SiO4/K+]2+ and a hole shared between two nonbonding oxygens on Si. We propose that structural water inhibits formation of smoky centers in feldspar by releasing atomic hydrogen during irradiation which destroys centers while diffusing towards a stable site.  相似文献

Synthetic melilites on the join Ca2MgSi2O7 (åkermanite: Ak)-Ca2Fe3+AlSiO7 (ferrialuminium gehlenite: FAGeh) were studied using X-ray powder diffraction and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic methods to determine the distribution of Fe3+ between two different tetrahedral sites (T1 and T2), and the relationship between ionic substitution and incommensurate (IC) structure. Melilites were synthesized from starting materials with compositions of Ak100, Ak80FAGeh20, Ak70FAGeh30 and Ak50FAGeh50 by sintering at 1,170–1,350 °C and 1 atm. The average chemical compositions and end-member components, Ak, FAGeh and Geh (Ca2Al2SiO7), of the synthetic melilites were Ca2.015Mg1.023Si1.981O7 (Ak100), Ca2.017Mg0.788Fe 0.187 3+ Al0.221Si1.791O7 (Ak78FAGeh19Geh3), Ca1.995Mg0.695Fe 0.258 3+ Al0.318Si1.723O7 (Ak69FAGeh25Geh6) and Ca1.982Mg0.495Fe 0.449 3+ Al0.519Si1.535O7 (Ak49FAGeh44Geh7), respectively. Rietveld refinements using X-ray powder diffraction data measured using CuK α -radiation at room temperature converged successfully with goodness-of-fits of 1.15–1.26. The refined Fe occupancies at the T1 and T2 sites and the Mg and Si contents determined by electron microprobe analysis gave the site populations of [0.788Mg + 0.082Fe3+ + 0.130Al]T1[0.104Fe3+ + 0.104Al + 1.792Si]T2 for Ak78FAGeh19Geh3, [0.695Mg + 0.127Fe3+ + 0.178Al]T1[0.132Fe3+ + 0.144Al + 1.724Si]T2 for Ak69FAGeh25Geh6 and [0.495Mg + 0.202Fe3+ + 0.303Al]T1[0.248Fe3+ + 0.216Al + 1.536Si]T2 for Ak49FAGeh44Geh7 (apfu: atoms per formula unit), respectively. The results indicate that Fe3+ is distributed at both the T1 and the T2 sites. The mean T1–O distance decreases with the substitution of Fe3+ + Al3+ for Mg2+ at the T1 site, whereas the mean T2–O distance increases with substitution of Fe3+ + Al3+ for Si4+ at the T2 site, causing decrease in the a dimension and increase in the c dimension. However, in spite of the successful Rietveld refinements for the X-ray powder diffraction data measured using CuK α-radiation at room temperature, each Bragg reflection measured using CuK α1-radiation at room temperature showed weak shoulders, which were not observed in those measured at 200 °C. The Mössbauer spectra of the melilites measured at room temperature consist of two doublets assigned to Fe3+ at the T1 site and two or three doublets to Fe3+ at the T2 site, implying the existence of multiple T1 and T2 sites with different site distortions. These facts can be interpreted in terms of the IC structure in all synthetic melilites at room temperature, respectively. The results of Mössbauer analysis indicate that the IC structure in melilite is caused by not only known multiple T1 site, but also multiple T2 site at room temperature.  相似文献

The topotactic oxidation and delithiation reaction from triphylite, Li(Fe,Mn)PO4, leading to ferrisicklerite, Li<1(Fe3+,Mn2+)PO4, was investigated under hydrothermal conditions. A cuboid cut from a triphylite single-crystal (Palermo Mine, New Hampshire, USA) with the composition Li0.93(3)(Fe2+ 0.733(6),Fe3+ 0.015(1),Mn2+ 0.210(4),Mg0.063(2))1.021(8)P1.00(2)O4 in addition with ground bulk material were treated with KMnO4 and 30 % H2O2(aq) as oxidizing agent in a 0.1 N hydrochloric acid solution in the temperature range between 60 and 200 °C. At 120 °C a rim of 0.1 mm thickness of ferrisicklerite had formed around the core of unreacted triphylite. The sharp reaction boundary was clearly visible, due to the reddish brown absorption colors of ferrisicklerite, compared to colorless triphylite. Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) and 57Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy the product ferrisicklerite was characterized and its composition determined as Li0.30(7)(Fe2+ 0.049(1)Fe3+ 0.65(2)Mn2+ 0.218(5)Mg0.062(2))0.98(1)P1.01(3)O4, with unit cell parameters a?=?4.795(1), b?=?9.992(4), and c?=?5.886(2) Å. EPMA investigations across the reaction boundary showed no changes in the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Mg, and P. In contrast, SIMS measurements clearly proved the delithiated state of the ferrisicklerite product. Polarization microscopy revealed that the orientation of the ferrisicklerite rim was the same as that of the original triphylite single-crystal, confirming the strictly topotactic character of the reaction.  相似文献
