Structure of magnetite (Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>) above the Curie temperature: a cation ordering study     

Davide?LevyEmail author  Roberto?Giustetto  Andreas?Hoser 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(2):169-176

A pristine magnetite (Fe₃O₄) specimen was studied by means of Neutron Powder Diffraction in the 273–1,073 K temperature range, in order to characterize its structural and magnetic behavior at high temperatures. An accurate analysis of the collected data allowed the understanding of the behavior of the main structural and magnetic features of magnetite as a function of temperature. The magnetic moments of both tetrahedral and octahedral sites were extracted by means of magnetic diffraction up to the Curie temperature (between 773 and 873 K). A change in the thermal expansion coefficient around the Curie temperature together with an increase in the oxygen coordinate value above 700 K can be observed, both features being the result of a change in the thermal expansion of the tetrahedral site. This anomaly is not related to the magnetic transition but can be explained with an intervened cation reordering, as magnetite gradually transforms from a disordered configuration into a partially ordered one. Based on a simple model which takes into account the cation-oxygen bond length, the degree of order as a function of temperature and consequently the enthalpy and entropy of the reordering process were determined. The refined values are ΔH⁰ = −23.2(1.7) kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS⁰ = −16(2) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. These results are in perfect agreement with values reported in literature (Mack et al. in Solid State Ion 135(1–4):625–630, 2000; Wu and Mason in J Am Ceramic Soc 64(9):520–522, 1981).  相似文献   

On the mechanisms for H and Al incorporation in stishovite     

Geoffrey D. Bromiley  Fiona A. Bromiley  David W. Bromiley 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(8-9):613-621

The solubility and incorporation mechanisms of hydrogen in synthetic stishovite as a function of Al₂O₃ content have been investigated. Mechanisms for H incorporation in stishovite are more complex than previously thought. Most H in stishovite is incorporated via the Smyth et al. (Am Mineral 80:454–456, 1995) model, where H docks close to one of the shared O–O edges, giving rise to an OH stretching band in infrared (IR) spectra at 3,111–3,117 cm⁻¹. However, careful examination of IR spectra from Al-stishovite reveals the presence of an additional OH band at 3,157–3,170 cm⁻¹. All H is present on one site, with interstitial H both coupled to Al³⁺ substitutional defects on adjacent octahedral (Si⁴⁺) sites, and decoupled from other defects, giving rise to two distinct absorption bands. Trends in IR data as a function of composition are consistent with a change in Al incorporation mechanism in stishovite, with Al³⁺ substitution for Si⁴⁺ charge-balanced by oxygen vacancies at low bulk Al₂O₃ contents, and coupled substitution of Al³⁺ onto octahedral (Si⁴⁺) and interstitial sites at high bulk Al₂O₃ contents. Trends in OH stretching frequencies as a function of Al₂O₃ content suggest that any such change in Al incorporation mechanism could alter the effect that Al incorporation has on the compressibility of stishovite, as noted by Ono et al. (Am Mineral 87:1486–1489, 2002).  相似文献   

Comparison of Measured and PTF Predictions of SWCCs for Loess Soils in China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mingbin Huang  D. G. Fredlund  M. D. Fredlund 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2010,28(2):105-117

There are significant advantages in using indirect pedo-transfer functions, (PTFs) for the estimation of unsaturated soil properties. The pedo-transfer functions can be used for the estimation of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) which in turn is used for the estimation of other unsaturated soil properties. The accuracy of the indirect pedo-transfer function method for the estimation of the SWCC depends on the PTF and the equation used to best-fit the particle-size distribution (PSD) data. The objectives of this study are to: (1) evaluate the performance of the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827, 2000) equation for best-fitting the particle-size distribution, (PSD) data, and, (2) compare the predictions made by two of the commonly used PTFs; namely, Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) and Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002), for estimating the SWCC from the PSD. The authors used 258 measured PSDs and SWCC datasets from the Loess Plateau, China, for this study. The dataset consisted of 187 silt–loam soils, 41 loam soils, 11 silt–clay–loam soils, 10 sand–loam soils, 6 silt–clay soils, and 3 loam–sand soils. The SWCC and PSD datasets were measured using a Pressure Plate apparatus and the pipette method, respectively. The comparison between the estimated and measured particle-size distribution curves showed that the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827, 2000) equation closely prepresented the PSD for all soils in the Loess Plateau, with a lower root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.869%. The comparison between the estimated and measured water contents at the same suction showed that the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF performed somewhat better than the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) function. The Fredlund et al. method had RMSE value of 0.039 cm³ cm⁻³ as opposed to 0.046 cm³ cm⁻³ for the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) method. The Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF produced the closest predictions for sand–loam, loam–sand, and loam soils, with a lower RMSE for gravimetric water content ranging from 0.006 to 0.036 cm³ cm⁻³. There were consistent over-estimations observed for silt–loam, silt–clay–loam, and slit–clay soils with RMSE values for gravimetric water content ranging from 0.037 to 0.043 cm³ cm⁻³. The measured and estimated air-entry values were closest when using the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF. The measured and estimated maximum slopes on the SWCC were closest when using the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) PTF.  相似文献   

Oxygen isotope heterogeneity of the mantle beneath the Canary Islands: a discussion of the paper of Gurenko et al.     

James M. D. Day  Colin G. Macpherson  David Lowry  D. Graham Pearson 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2012,164(1):177-183

Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) report laser-assisted fluorination (LF) and secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS) ¹⁸O/¹⁶O datasets for olivine grains from the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. As with prior studies of oxygen isotopes in Canary Island lavas (e.g. Thirlwall et al. Chem Geol 135:233–262, 1997; Day et al. Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010), these authors find variations in δ¹⁸O_ol (~4.6–6.0 ‰) beyond that measured for mantle peridotite olivine (Mattey et al. Earth Planet Sci Lett 128:231–241, 1994) and interpret this variation to reflect contributions from pyroxenite-peridotite mantle sources. Furthermore, Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) speculate that δ¹⁸O_ol values for La Palma olivine grains measured by LF (Day et al. Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) may be biased to low values due to the presence of altered silicate, possibly serpentine. The range in δ¹⁸O_ol values for Canary Island lavas are of importance for constraining their origin. Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) took a subset (39 SIMS analyses from 13 grains from a single El Hierro lava; EH4) of a more extensive dataset (321 SIMS analyses from 110 grains from 16 Canary Island lavas) to suggest that δ¹⁸O_ol is weakly correlated (R ² = 0.291) with the parameter used by Gurenko et al. (Earth Planet Sci Lett 277:514–524, 2009) to describe the estimated weight fraction of pyroxenite-derived melt (Xpx). With this relationship, end-member δ¹⁸O values for HIMU-peridotite (δ¹⁸O = 5.3 ± 0.3 ‰) and depleted pyroxenite (δ¹⁸O = 5.9 ± 0.3 ‰) were defined. Although the model proposed by Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) implicates similar pyroxenite-peridotite mantle sources to those proposed by Day et al. (Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) and Day and Hilton (Earth Planet Sci Lett 305:226–234, 2011), there are significant differences in the predicted δ¹⁸O values of end member components in the two models. In particular, Day et al. (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) proposed a mantle source for La Palma lavas with low-δ¹⁸O (<5 ‰), rather than higher-δ¹⁸O (c.f. the HIMU-peridotite composition of Gurenko et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011). Here we question the approach of using weakly correlated variations in δ¹⁸O_ol and the Xpx parameter to define mantle source oxygen isotope compositions, and provide examples of why this approach appears flawed. We also provide reasons why the LF datasets previously published for Canary Island lavas remain robust and discuss why LF and SIMS data may provide complementary information on oxygen isotope variations in ocean island basalts (OIB), despite unresolved small-scale uncertainties associated with both techniques.  相似文献   

Excess heat capacity and entropy of mixing along the chlorapatite–fluorapatite binary join     

Edgar Dachs  Daniel Harlov  Artur Benisek 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2010,37(9):665-676

The heat capacity at constant pressure, C _p, of chlorapatite [Ca₅(PO₄)₃Cl – ClAp], and fluorapatite [Ca₅(PO₄)₃F – FAp], as well as of 12 compositions along the chlorapatite–fluorapatite join have been measured using relaxation calorimetry [heat capacity option of the physical properties measurement system (PPMS)] and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range 5–764 K. The chlor-fluorapatites were synthesized at 1,375–1,220°C from Ca₃(PO₄)₂ using the CaF₂–CaCl₂ flux method. Most of the chlor-fluorapatite compositions could be measured directly as single crystals using the PPMS such that they were attached to the sample platform of the calorimeter by a crystal face. However, the crystals were too small for the crystal face to be polished. In such cases, where the sample coupling was not optimal, an empirical procedure was developed to smoothly connect the PPMS to the DSC heat capacities around ambient T. The heat capacity of the end-members above 298 K can be represented by the polynomials: C _p^ClAp = 613.21 − 2,313.90T ^−0.5 − 1.87964 × 10⁷ T ⁻² + 2.79925 × 10⁹ T ⁻³ and C _p^FAp = 681.24 − 4,621.73 × T ^−0.5 − 6.38134 × 10⁶ T ⁻² + 7.38088 × 10⁸ T ⁻³ (units, J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). Their standard third-law entropy, derived from the low-temperature heat capacity measurements, is S° = 400.6 ± 1.6 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ for chlorapatite and S° = 383.2 ± 1.5 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ for fluorapatite. Positive excess heat capacities of mixing, ΔC _p^ex, occur in the chlorapatite–fluorapatite solid solution around 80 K (and to a lesser degree at 200 K) and are asymmetrically distributed over the join reaching a maximum of 1.3 ± 0.3 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ for F-rich compositions. They are significant at these conditions exceeding the 2σ-uncertainty of the data. The excess entropy of mixing, ΔS ^ex, at 298 K reaches positive values of 3–4 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ in the F-rich portion of the binary, is, however, not significantly different from zero across the join within its 2σ-uncertainty.  相似文献   

Zr diffusion in titanite   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

D. J. Cherniak 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2006,152(5):639-647

Chemical diffusion of Zr under anhydrous, pO₂-buffered conditions has been measured in natural titanite. The source of diffusant was either zircon powder or a ZrO₂–Al₂O₃–titanite mixture. Experiments were run in sealed silica glass capsules with solid buffers (to buffer at NNO or QFM). Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) was used to measure diffusion profiles. The following Arrhenius parameters were obtained for Zr diffusion parallel to c over the temperature range 753–1,100°C under NNO-buffered conditions: D _Zr = 5.33 × 10⁻⁷ exp(−325 ± 30 kJ mol⁻¹/RT) m² s⁻¹ Diffusivities are similar for experiments buffered at QFM. These data suggest that titanite should be moderately retentive of Zr chemical signatures, with diffusivities slower than those for O and Pb in titanite, but faster than those for Sr and the REE. When applied in evaluation of the relative robustness of the recently developed Zr-in-titanite geothermometer (Hayden and Watson, Abstract, 16th V.M. Goldschmidt Conference 2006), these findings suggest that Zr concentrations in titanite will be less likely to be affected by later thermal disturbance than the geothermometer based on Zr concentrations in rutile (Zack et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol 148:471–488, 2004; Watson et al. in Contrib Mineral. Petrol, 2006), but much less resistant to diffusional alteration subsequent to crystallization than the Ti-in-Zircon geothermometer (Watson and Harrison in Science 308:841–844, 2005).  相似文献   

Insights into the high-pressure behavior of kaolinite from infrared spectroscopy and quantum-mechanical calculations     

Mark?D.?WelchEmail author  Wren?Montgomery  Etienne?Balan  Philippe?Lerch 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(2):143-151

The high-pressure behavior of Keokuk kaolinite has been studied to 9.5 GPa by infrared spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The kaolinite-I → kaolinite-II and kaolinite-II → kaolinite-III transformations have clear spectroscopic expression, with discontinuities coinciding with the transformation pressures bracketed by X-ray diffraction (Welch and Crichton in Am Mineral 95:651–654, 2010). The experimental spectra have been interpreted from band assignments derived from density functional theory for the structures of kaolinite-II and kaolinite-III, using as starting models the ab initio structures reported by Mercier and Le Page (Acta Crystallogr A B64:131–143, 2008, Mater Sci Technol 25:437–442, 2009) and unit-cell parameters from Welch and Crichton (Am Mineral 95:651–654, 2010). The relaxed theoretical structures are very similar to those reported by Mercier and Le Page (Acta Crystallogr A B64:131–143, 2008, Mater Sci Technol 25:437–442, 2009) in their theoretical investigation of kaolinite polytypes at high pressure. The vibrational spectra calculated from the quantum-mechanical analysis allow band assignments of the IR spectra to be made and provide insights into the behavior of different OH environments in the two high-pressure polytypes. The single perpendicular-interlayer OH group of kaolinite-III has a distinctive spectroscopic signature that is diagnostic of this polytype (ν = 3,595 cm⁻¹ at 9.5 GPa) and is sensitive to the compression/expansion of the interlayer space. This OH group also has a distinctive signature in the calculated spectra. The spectra collected on decompression are those of kaolinite-III and persist largely unchanged to 4.6 GPa, except for a continuous blue shift of the 3,595 cm⁻¹ band to 3,613 cm⁻¹. Finally, kaolinite-I is recovered at 0.6 GPa, confirming the kaolinite-III → kaolinite-I transformation previously observed by X-ray diffraction, and the irreversibility of the kaolinite-II → kaolinite-III transformation. The ambient spectra collected at the start and finish of the experiment are those of kaolinite-I, and start/finish band frequencies agree to within 6 cm⁻¹.  相似文献   

OH in natural orthopyroxene: an in situ FTIR investigation at varying temperatures     

Y.?Yang  Q.?K.?XiaEmail author  M.?Feng  S.?C.?Liu 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(5):413-418

In situ unpolarized and polarized Fourier transform infrared spectra of a natural orthopyroxene at varying temperatures were obtained using a heating stage attached on an Infrared microscope. The three main bands (3,595, 3,520 and 3,410 cm⁻¹) at room temperature are ascribed to OH fundamental stretching bands. With increasing temperature from room temperature to 500 °C, the 3,595 cm⁻¹ band shifts 20 cm⁻¹ to lower frequency. The total integral absorbance decreases with increasing temperature. These changes are reversible. Excluding the influences of dehydration, proton migration, thermal expansion, and changes in OH dipole direction, the change of integral absorbance with temperature reflects the temperature dependence of absorption coefficient due to the anharmonicity of OH vibration. Based on the integral absorption coefficient at room temperature (14.84 ppm⁻¹ cm⁻²) from Bell et al. (Am Mineral 80:463–474, 1995), the integral absorption coefficients at other temperatures are calculated. The variation of integral absorption coefficient between room temperature and 500 °C obtained in this study is about 18.5 % and may be greater at higher temperature according to the proposed linear relationship.  相似文献   

Excess heat capacity and entropy of mixing in the high-structural state (K,Ca)-feldspar binary     

Artur Benisek  Edgar Dachs  Herbert Kroll 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2010,37(4):209-218

Low- and high-temperature heat capacities were measured for a series of synthetic high-structural state (K,Ca)-feldspars (Or–An) using both a relaxation and a differential scanning calorimeter. The data were collected at temperatures between 5 and 800 K on polycrystalline samples that had been synthesised and characterised in a previous study. Below T = 300 K, Or₉₀An₁₀, and Or₈₀An₂₀ showed excess heat capacities of mixing with maximum values of ~3 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. The other members of this binary (An > 20 mol%) had lower excess heat capacity values of up to ~1 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Above T = 300 K, some compositions exhibited negative excess heat capacities of mixing (with maximum values of −2 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). The vibrational entropy at 298.15 K for Or₉₀An₁₀ and Or₈₀An₂₀ deviated strongly from the behaviour of a mechanical mixture, with excess entropy values of ~3.5 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. More An-rich members had only small excess vibrational entropies at T = 298.15 K. The difference in behaviour between members with An > 20 mol% and those with An ≤ 20 mol% is probably a consequence of the structural state of the (K,Ca)-feldspars, i.e., (K,Ca)-feldspars with An ≤ 20 mol% have monoclinic symmetry, whereas those with An > 20 mol% are triclinic. At T = 800 K, the vibrational entropy values were found to scatter around the values expected for a mechanical mixture and, thus, correspond to a quasi-ideal behaviour. The solvus for the (K,Ca)-feldspar binary was calculated based on the entropy data from this study in combination with enthalpy and volume of mixing data from a previous study.  相似文献   

Reply to “Oxygen isotope heterogeneity of the mantle beneath the Canary Islands: a discussion of the paper of Gurenko et al.”     

Andrey A. Gurenko  Ilya N. Bindeman  Marc Chaussidon 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2012,164(1):185-189

The comment by Day et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol, 2012) (1) discusses the validity of the previously obtained oxygen isotope data for El Hierro and La Palma (Canary Island) olivines, (2) questions the approach by Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) of using weakly correlated variations of δ¹⁸O_olivine values with X _px (proportion of pyroxenite-derived melt in the parental magma), and (3) provides reasons why oxygen isotope data by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) “offer sensitive means for detecting melt-crust interactions.” We respond these comments and report a new set of oxygen isotope measurements performed by SIMS and single-grain laser fluorination methods. These measurements confirm our previous data and conclusions and demonstrate the ability of the SIMS technique to analyze O isotopes in terrestrial samples with 2-sigma uncertainty better than ±0.25 ‰.  相似文献   

Heat capacity,entropy, and phase equilibria of dmitryivanovite     

Wenjun?YongEmail author  Edgar?Dachs  Artur?Benisek  Anthony?C.?Withers  Richard?A.?Secco 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(3):259-267

The heat capacity (C _p ) of dmitryivanovite synthesized with a cubic press was measured in the temperature range of 5–664 K using the heat capacity option of a physical properties measurement system and a differential scanning calorimeter. The entropy of dmitryivanovite at standard temperature and pressure (STP) was calculated to be 110.1 ± 1.6 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ from the measured C _p data. With the help of new phase equilibrium experiments done at 1.5 GPa, the phase transition boundary between krotite and dmitryivanovite was best represented by the equation: P (GPa) = −2.1825 + 0.0025 T (K). From the temperature intercept of this phase boundary and other available thermodynamic data for krotite and dmitryivanovite, the enthalpy of formation and Gibbs free energy of formation of dmitryivanovite at STP were calculated to be −2326.7 ± 2.1 and −2,208.1 ± 2.1 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. It is also inferred that dmitryivanovite is the stable CaAl₂O₄ phase at STP and has a wide stability field at high pressures whereas the stability field of krotite is located at high temperatures and relatively low pressures. This conclusion is consistent with natural occurrences (in Ca–Al-rich inclusions) of dmitryivanovite and krotite, where the former is interpreted as the shock metamorphic product of originally present krotite.  相似文献   

Heat capacity and phase equilibria of hollandite polymorph of KAlSi3O8     

Wenjun Yong  E. Dachs  A. C. Withers  E. J. Essene 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(3):167-177

The low-temperature heat capacity (C _p ) of KAlSi₃O₈ with a hollandite structure was measured over the range of 5–303 K with a physical properties measurement system. The standard entropy of KAlSi₃O₈ hollandite is 166.2±0.2 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, including an 18.7 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ contribution from the configurational entropy due to disorder of Al and Si in the octahedral sites. The entropy of K₂Si₄O₉ with a wadeite structure (Si-wadeite) was also estimated to facilitate calculation of phase equilibria in the system K₂O–Al₂O₃–SiO₂. The calculated phase equilibria obtained using Perple_x are in general agreement with experimental studies. Calculated phase relations in the system K₂O–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ confirm a substantial stability field for kyanite–stishovite/coesite–Si-wadeite intervening between KAlSi₃O₈ hollandite and sanidine. The upper stability of kyanite is bounded by the reaction kyanite (Al₂SiO₅) = corundum (Al₂O₃) + stishovite (SiO₂), which is located at 13–14 GPa for 1,100–1,400 K. The entropy and enthalpy of formation for K-cymrite (KAlSi₃O₈·H₂O) were modified to better fit global best-fit compilations of thermodynamic data and experimental studies. Thermodynamic calculations were undertaken on the reaction of K-cymrite to KAlSi₃O₈ hollandite + H₂O, which is located at 8.3–10.0 GPa for the temperature range 800–1,600 K, well inside the stability field of stishovite. The reaction of muscovite to KAlSi₃O₈ hollandite + corundum + H₂O is placed at 10.0–10.6 GPa for the temperature range 900–1,500 K, in reasonable agreement with some but not all experiments on this reaction.  相似文献   

Crossover of cation partitioning in olivines: a combination of ab initio and Monte Carlo study     

Swastika Chatterjee  Sirshendu Bhattacharyya  Surajit Sengupta  Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(4):259-265

We report studies based on a combination of ab initio electronic structure and Monte Carlo (MC) technique on the problem of cation partitioning among inequivalent octahedral sites, M1 and M2 in mixed olivines containing Mg²⁺ and Fe²⁺ ions. Our MC scheme uses interactions derived out of ab initio, density functional calculations carried out on measured crystal structure data. Our results show that there is no reversal of the preference of Fe for M1 over M2 as a function of temperature. Our findings do not agree with the experimental findings of Redfern et al. (Phys Chem Miner 27:630–637, 2000), but are in agreement with those of Heinemann et al. (Eur J Mineral 18:673–689, 2006) and Morozov et al. (Eur J Mineral 17:495–500, 2005).  相似文献   

In search of the mixed derivative ?² M /? P ? T ( M = G , K ): joint analysis of ultrasonic data for polycrystalline pyrope from gas- and solid-medium apparatus     

G. D. Gwanmesia  I. Jackson  R. C. Liebermann 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2007,34(2):85-93

Elastic wave velocities for dense (99.8% of theoretical density) isotropic polycrystalline specimens of synthetic pyrope (Mg₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂) were measured to 1,000 K at 300 MPa by the phase comparison method of ultrasonic interferometry in an internally heated gas-medium apparatus. The temperature derivatives of the elastic moduli [(∂Ks/∂T) _P = −19.3(4); (∂G/∂T) _P = −10.4(2) MPa K⁻¹] measured in this study are consistent with previous acoustic measurements on both synthetic polycrystalline pyrope in a DIA-type cubic anvil apparatus (Gwanmesia et al. in Phys Earth Planet Inter 155:179–190, 2006) and on a natural single crystal by the rectangular parallelepiped resonance (RPR; Suzuki and Anderson in J Phys Earth 31:125–138, 1983) method but |(∂Ks/∂T) _P | is significantly larger than from a Brillouin spectroscopy study of single-crystal pyrope (Sinogeikin and Bass in Phys Earth Planet Inter 203:549–555, 2002). Alternative approaches to the retrieval of mixed derivatives of the elastic moduli from joint analysis of data from this study and from the solid-medium data of Gwanmesia et al. in Phys Earth Planet Inter 155:179–190 (2006) yield ∂² G/∂P∂T = [0.07(12), 0.20(14)] × 10⁻³ K⁻¹ and ∂² K _S /∂P∂T = [−0.20(24), 0.22(26)] × 10⁻³ K⁻¹, both of order 10⁻⁴ K⁻¹ and not significantly different from zero. More robust inference of the mixed derivatives will require solid-medium acoustic measurements of precision significantly better than 1%.  相似文献   

The quantitative analysis of OH in vesuvianite: a polarized FTIR and SIMS study     

Fabio Bellatreccia  Giancarlo Della Ventura  Luisa Ottolini  Eugen Libowitzky  Anton Beran 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2005,32(1):65-76

A well-characterized suite of vesuvianite samples from the volcanic ejecta (skarn or syenites) from Latium (Italy) was studied by single-crystal, polarized radiation, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and secondary-ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS). OH-stretching FTIR spectra consist of a rather well-defined triplet of broad bands at higher-frequency (3,700–3,300 cm^–1) and a very broad composite absorption below 3,300 cm^–1. Measurements with E//c or Ec show that all bands are strongly polarized with maximum absorption for E//c. They are in agreement with previous band assignments (Groat et al. Can Mineral 33:609, 1995) to the two O(11)–H(1) and O(10)–H(2) groups in the structure. Pleochroic measurements with changing direction of the E vector of the incident radiation show that the orientation of the O(11)–H(1) dipole is OHc~35°, in excellent agreement with the neutron data of Lager et al. (Can Mineral 37:763, 1999). A SIMS-based calibration curve at ~10% rel. accuracy has been worked out and used as reference for the quantitative analysis of H₂O in vesuvianite by FTIR. Based on previous SIMS results for silicate minerals (Ottolini and Hawthorne in J Anal At Spectrom 16:1266, 2001; Ottolini et al. in Am Mineral 87:1477, 2002) the SiO₂ and FeO content of the matrix were assumed as the major factors to be considered at a first approximation in the selection of the standards for H. The lack of vesuvianite standards for quantitative SIMS analysis of H₂O has been here overcome by selecting low-silica elbaite crystals (Ottolini et al. in Am Mineral 87:1477, 2002). The resulting integrated molar absorption FTIR coefficient for vesuvianite is _i=100.000±2.000 l mol^–1 cm^–2. SIMS data for Li, B, F, Sr, Y, Be, Ba REE, U and Th are also provided in the paper.  相似文献   

Hydroxyl in mantle olivine xenocrysts from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe   总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5

The incorporation of hydrogen in mantle olivine xenocrysts from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). IR spectra were collected in the OH stretching region on oriented single crystals using a conventional IR source at ambient conditions and in situ at temperatures down to −180°C as well as with IR synchrotron radiation. The IR spectra of the samples are complex containing more than 20 strongly polarized OH bands in the range 3,730–3,330 cm⁻¹. Bands at high energies (3,730–3,670 cm⁻¹) were assigned to inclusions of serpentine, talc and the 10 Å phase. All other bands are believed to be intrinsic to olivine. The corresponding point defects are (a) associated with vacant Si sites (3,607 cm⁻¹ E || a, 3,597 E || a, 3,571 cm⁻¹ E || c, 3,567 E || c, and 3,556 E || b), and (b) with vacant M1 sites (most of the bands polarized parallel to a). From the pleochroic behavior and position of the OH bands associated with the vacant M1 sites, we propose two types of hydrogen—one bonded to O1 and another to O2, so that both OH vectors are strongly aligned parallel to a. The O2–H groups may be responsible for the OH bands at higher wavenumbers than those for the O1–H groups. The multiplicity of the corresponding OH bands in the spectra can be explained by different chemical environments and by slightly different distortions of the M1 sites in these high-pressure olivines. Four samples were investigated by SIMS. The calculated integral molar absorption coefficient using the IR and SIMS results of 37,500±5,000 L mol H₂O cm⁻² is within the uncertainties slightly higher than the value determined by Bell et al. (J Geophys Res 108(B2):2105–2113, 2003) (28,450±1,830 L mol H₂O cm⁻²). The reason for the difference is the different distributions of the absorption intensity of the spectra of both studies (mean wavenumber 3,548 vs. 3,570 cm⁻¹). Olivine samples with a mean wavenumber of about 3,548 cm⁻¹ should be quantified with the absorption coefficient as determined in this study; those containing more bands at higher wavenumber (mean wavenumber 3,570 cm⁻¹) should be quantified using the value determined by Bell et al. (J Geophys Res 108(B2):2105–2113, 2003).

Role of attenuation relationship in shaping the seismic hazard     

K. Mohan  A. Joshi 《Natural Hazards》2012,60(2):649-670

Attenuation relationships are commonly used for engineering studies to estimate the peak ground acceleration values. This paper presents the role of attenuation relationship in defining the seismic hazard in an area. It is seen that the seismic hazard in an area, which is calculated using attenuation relationships, is mostly controlled by the type of attenuation relationship used in the study. The present work aims to study the effect of attenuation relationship on seismic hazard study. In the present work, seismic hazard maps have been prepared in the seismically very active northeast Himalaya using the approach given by Joshi and Patel (Tectonophysics 283:289–310, 1997). The attenuation relationships of Jain et al. (2000), Sharma (2000), Joyner and Boore (Bull Seism Soc Am 71:2011–2038, 1981) and Abrahamson and Litehiser (Bull Seism Soc Am 79:549–580, 1989) have been considered in the present study. Among all considered attenuation relationships, the Abrahamson and Litehiser (Bull Seism Soc Am 79:549–580, 1989) attenuation relationship gives the least root mean square error between the recorded and calculated peak ground acceleration values. Therefore, the same has been used to define attenuation characteristic of the region. The mean and standard deviation of peak ground acceleration values at all the observation points due to above-mentioned attenuation relationships in the NE Himalayas are calculated. The study shows that the Zone III covers an area of 81,000 km² and Zone II of 96,000 km² in the map prepared using the mean peak ground acceleration values, whereas the area of Zone IV increases by 40,000 km² when the map is prepared by adding the standard deviation values in the mean peak ground acceleration values, and only Zone II is left with 183,000 km² when the standard deviation values are subtracted from the mean. This high standard deviation is due to the difference in the peak ground acceleration values obtained from different events. This study shows that a rigorous test needs to be done for selecting attenuation relationship for any hazard study in a given area.  相似文献   

Prediction of the thermodynamic properties of metal–arsenate and metal–arsenite aqueous complexes to high temperatures and pressures and some geological consequences     

Luigi Marini  Marina Accornero 《Environmental Geology》2007,52(7):1343-1363

The standard thermodynamic properties at 25°C, 1 bar (ΔG _f^o, ΔH _f^o, S ^o, C _P^o, V ^o, ω) and the coefficients of the revised Helgeson–Kirkham–Flowers equations of state were evaluated for several aqueous complexes formed by dissolved metals and either arsenate or arsenite ions. The guidelines of Shock and Helgeson (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 52:2009–2036, 1988) and Sverjensky et al. (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 61:1359–1412, 1997) were followed and corroborated with alternative approaches, whenever possible. The SUPCRT92 computer code was used to generate the log K of the destruction reactions of these metal–arsenate and metal–arsenite aqueous complexes at pressures and temperatures required by the EQ3/6 software package, version 7.2b. Apart from the AlAsO₄^o and FeAsO₄^o complexes, our log K at 25°C, 1 bar are in fair agreement with those of Whiting (MS Thesis, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO, 1992). Moreover, the equilibrium constants evaluated in this study are in good to fair agreement with those determined experimentally for the Ca–dihydroarsenate and Ca–hydroarsenate complexes at 40°C (Mironov et al., Russ J Inorg Chem 40:1690, 1995) and for Fe(III)–hydroarsenate complex at 25°C (Raposo et al., J Sol Chem 35:79–94, 2006), whereas the disagreement with the log K measured for the Ca–arsenate complex at 40°C (Mironov et al., Russ J Inorg Chem 40:1690, 1995) might be due to uncertainties in this measured value. The implications of aqueous complexing between dissolved metals and arsenate/arsenite ions were investigated for seawater, high-temperature geothermal liquids and acid mine drainage and aqueous solutions deriving from mixing of acid mine waters and surface waters.

Synthetic ANaB(Na x Li1 − x Mg1)CMg5Si8O22(OH)2 (with x = 0.6, 0.2 and 0) P21/m amphiboles at high pressure: a synchrotron infrared study     

Gianluca Iezzi  Zhenxian Liu  Giancarlo Della Ventura 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2009,36(6):343-354

The high-pressure behavior of three synthetic amphiboles crystallized with space group P2₁/m at room conditions in the system Li₂O–Na₂O–MgO–SiO₂–H₂O has been studied by in situ synchrotron infrared absorption spectroscopy. The amphiboles have compositions ^ANa ^B(Na _x Li_1 − x Mg₁) ^CMg₅ Si₈ O₂₂(OH)₂ with x = 0.6, 0.2 and 0.0, respectively. The high-P experiments up to 32 GPa were carried out on the U2A beamline at Brookhaven National Laboratory (NY, USA) using a diamond anvil cell under non-hydrostatic or quasi-hydrostatic conditions. The two most intense absorption bands in the OH-stretching infrared spectra can be assigned to two non-equivalent O–H dipoles in the P2₁/m structure, bonded to the same local environment ^M1M3Mg₃–OH–^ANa, and pointing toward two differently kinked tetrahedral rings. In all samples these bands progressively merge to give a unique symmetrical absorption with increasing pressure, suggesting a change in symmetry from P2₁/m to C2/m. The pressure at which the transition occurs appears to be linearly correlated to the aggregate B-site dimension. The infrared spectra collected for amphibole ^B(Na_0.2Li_0.8Mg₁) in the frequency range 50 to 1,400 cm⁻¹ also show a series of changes with increasing pressure. The data reported here support the inference of Iezzi et al. (Am Miner 91:479–482, 2006a) regarding a new high-pressure amphibole polymorph.  相似文献   

Low T heat capacity measurements and new entropy data for titanite (sphene): implications for thermobarometry of high-pressure rocks     

M. R. F. Manon  E. Dachs  E. J. Essene 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,156(6):709-720

The accepted standard state entropy of titanite (sphene) has been questioned in several recent studies, which suggested a revision from the literature value 129.3 ± 0.8 J/mol K to values in the range of 110–120 J/mol K. The heat capacity of titanite was therefore re-measured with a PPMS in the range 5 to 300 K and the standard entropy of titanite was calculated as 127.2 ± 0.2 J/mol K, much closer to the original data than the suggested revisions. Volume parameters for a modified Murgnahan equation of state: V _P,T  = V ₂₉₈° × [1 + a°(T − 298) − 20a°(T − 298)] × [1 – 4P/(K ₂₉₈ × (1 – 1.5 × 10⁻⁴ [T − 298]) + 4P)]^1/4 were fit to recent unit cell determinations at elevated pressures and temperatures, yielding the constants V ₂₉₈° = 5.568 J/bar, a° = 3.1 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹, and K = 1,100 kbar. The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of titanite, −2456.2 kJ/mol (∆H°_f = −2598.4 kJ/mol) was calculated from the new entropy and volume data combined with data from experimental reversals on the reaction, titanite + kyanite = anorthite + rutile. This value is 4–11 kJ/mol less negative than that obtained from experimental determinations of the enthalpy of formation, and it is slightly more negative than values given in internally consistent databases. The displacement of most calculated phase equilibria involving titanite is not large except for reactions with small ∆S. Re-calculated baric estimates for several metamorphic suites yield pressure differences on the order of 2 kbar in eclogites and 10 kbar for ultra-high pressure titanite-bearing assemblages.  相似文献
