In recent years diamonds and other exotic minerals have been recovered from mantle peridotites and high-Cr chromitites of a number of ophiolites of different age and different tectonic environments. Here we report a similar collection of minerals from the Sartohay ophiolite of Xinjiang Province,western China,which is characterized by having high-Al chromitites. Several samples of massive podiform chromitite with an aggregate weight of nearly 900 kg yielded diamonds,moissanite and other highly reduced minerals,as well as common crustal minerals. Thus far,more than 20 grains each of diamond and moissanite have been recovered from heavy mineral separates of the chromitites. The diamonds are all 100-200 μm in size and range in color from pale yellow to reddish-orange to colorless. Most of the grains are anhedral to subhedral octahedra,commonly with elongate forms exhibiting well-developed striations. They all display characteristic Raman spectra with shifts between 1325 cm-1 and 1333 cm-1,mostly 1331.51 cm-1 or 1326.96 cm-1. The moissanite grains are light blue to dark blue,broken crystals,50-150 μm across,commonly occurring as small flakes or fragments. Their typical Raman spectra have shifts at 762 cm-1,785 cm-1,and 966 cm-1. This investigation extends the occurrence of diamonds and moissanite to a Paleozoic ophiolite in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and demonstrates that these minerals can also occur in high-Al chromitites. We conclude that diamonds and moissanite are likely to be ubiquitous in ophiolitic mantle peridotites and chromitites. 相似文献

We have performed measurements of minerals based on the synchrotron source for single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction,inelastic scattering,spectroscopy and radiography by using diamond anvil cells.We investigated the properties of iron(Fe),iron-magnesium oxides(Fe,Mg)O, silica(SiO2),iron-magnesium silicates(Fe,Mg)SiO3 under simulated high pressure-high temperature extreme conditions of the Earth’s crust,upper mantle,low mantle,core-mantle boundary,outer core, and inner core.The results provide a new window on the investigation of the mineral properties at Earth’s conditions. 相似文献

1. IntroductionIn order to confirm the presence or absence of diamonds in the Luobusa ophiolitic chromitite in Tibet, about 1500 kg chromitite sample was collected for separating its associated minerals, in which diamond, moissanite, octahedral pseudomorphic serpentine and chlorite, native silicon, native chromium, some alloys and other minerals were found. A wide variety of minerals, including about 70-80 types of mantle minerals from the Luobusa ophiolite, were identified by energy dispersi… 相似文献

In recent years diamonds and other unusual minerals(carbides,nitrides,metal alloys and native elements) have been recovered from mantle peridotites and chromitites(both high-Cr chromitites and high-Al chromitites) from a number of ophiolites of different ages and tectonic settings.Here we report a similar assemblage of minerals from the Skenderbeu massif of the Mirdita zone ophiolite,west Albania.So far,more than 20 grains of microdiamonds and 30 grains of moissanites(SiC) have been separated from the podiform chromitite.The diamonds are mostly light yellow,transparent,euhedral crystals,200~300 μm across,with a range of morphologies;some are octahedral and cuboctahedron and others are elongate and irregular.Secondary electron images show that some grains have well-developed striatums.All the diamond grains have been analyzed and yielded typical Raman spectra with a shift at ~1325 cm~(-1).The moissanite grains recovered from the Skenderbeu chromitites are mainly light blue to dark blue,but some are yellow to light yeUow.All the analyzed grains have typical Raman spectra with shifts at 766 cm~(-1),787 cm~(-1),and 967 cm~(-1).The energy spectrums of the moissanites confirm that the grains are composed entirely of silicon and carbon.This investigation expands the occurrence of diamonds and moissanites to Mesozoic ophiolites in the Neo-Tethys.Our new findings suggest that diamonds and moissanites are present,and probably ubiquitous in the oceanic mantle and can provide new perspectives and avenues for research on the origin of ophiolites and podiform chromitites. 相似文献

Various combinations of diamond, moissanite, zircon, corundum, rutile and titanitehave been recovered from the Bulqiza chromitites. More than 10 grains of diamond have been recovered, most of which are pale yellow to reddish–orange to colorless. The grains are all 100–300 μm in size and mostly anhedral, but with a range of morphologies including elongated, octahedral and subhedral varieties. Their identification was confirmed by a characteristic shift in the Raman spectra between 1325 cm~(-1) and 1333 cm~(-1), mostly at 1331.51 cm~(-1) or 1326.96 cm~(-1). This investigation extends the occurrence of diamond and moissanite to the Bulqiza chromitites in the Eastern Mirdita Ophiolite. Integration of the mineralogical, petrological and geochemical data of the Bulqiza chromitites suggests their multi–stage formation. Magnesiochromite grains and perhaps small bodies of chromitite formed at various depths in the upper mantle, and encapsulated the ultra–high pressure, highly reduced and crustal minerals. Some oceanic crustal slabs containing the magnesiochromite and their inclusion were later trapped in suprasubduction zones, where they were modified by tholeiitic and boninitic arc magmas, thus changing the magnesiochromite compositions and depositing chromitite ores in melt channels. 相似文献

Helium diffusion in mantle minerals is crucial for understanding mantle structure and the dynamic processes of Earth's degassing.In this paper,we report helium incorporation and the mechanism of its diffusion in perfect crystals of quartz and coesite.The diffusion pathways,activation energies(Ea),and frequency factors of helium under ambient and high pressure conditions were calculated using Density Functional Theory(DFT)and the climbing image nudged elastic band(CI-NEB)method.The calculated diffusive coefficients of He in the quartz in different orientations are:D[100]=1.24×10?6exp.(?26.83 kJ/mol/RT)m2/s D[010]=1.11×10?6exp.(?31.60 kJ/mol/RT)m2/s.and in the coesite:D[100]=3.00×10?7exp.(?33.79 kJ/mol/RT)m2/s D[001]=2.21×10?6exp.(?18.33 kJ/mol/RT)m2/s.The calculated results indicate that diffusivity of helium is anisotropic in both quartz and coesite and that the degree of anisotropy is much more pronounced in coesite.Helium diffusion behavior in coesite under high pressures was investigated.The activation energies increased with pressure:Ea[100]increased from 33.79 kJ/mol to 58.36 kJ/mol,and Ea[001]increased from 18.33 kJ/mol to 48.87 kJ/mol as pressure increased from0 GPa to 12 GPa.Our calculations showed that helium is not be quantitatively retained in silica at typical surface temperatures on Earth,which is consistent with the findings from previous studies.These results have implications for discussion of the Earth's mantle evolution and for recognition thermal histories of ultra-high pressure(UHP)metamorphic terranes. 相似文献

HHe+is considered as the strongest acid and most powerful proton donor known to human.Whether HHe+exists at planetary high pressure environment is a quite important problem in physics,chemistry and planetary sciences.Here,using the ab initio evolutionary algorithm USPEX package,we searched HF–He system,which was reported as the most possible candidate to contain HHe+.The calculation proved HHe+cannot form at pressure<1000 GPa,due to a conflict between the covalent component in symmetric hydrogen bond and ionic HHe+.Although He atoms have no chemical bonding with other elements,they can supply a chemical pressure,leading to two new phases He2(HF)4 and He(HF).With coplanar(HF)4rings,He2(HF)4have an aromaticity-like electronic behavior while He(HF)has a new type of chiral HF chain.The formation of He2(HF)4and He(HF)prove that the chemical pressure from He,on par with external pressure,have ability to control the structural and electronic configuration and induce some new familiars of compounds include H and He elements which are fundamental planetary materials in giant planets. 相似文献

Although nitrogen in the Earth’s interior has attracted significant attention recently,it remains the most enigmatic of the light elements in the Earth’s core.In this work,synchrotron X-ray diffraction(XRD)and electrical conductivity experiments were conducted on iron nitrides(Fe2N and Fe4N)in diamond anvil cells(DACs)up to about 70 GPa at ambient temperature.These results show that iron nitrides are stable up to at least 70 GPa.From the equation of state(EOS)parameters,iron nitrides are more compressible than iron carbides.Moreover,using the van der Pauw method and Wiedemann-Franz law,the electrical and thermal conductivity of samples were determined to be much lower than that of iron carbides.The conductivities of Fe2N and Fe4N were similar at 20–70 GPa,suggesting no evident effects by varying the N stoichiometries in iron nitrides.Iron nitrides are less dense and conductive but more compressible than carbides at 0–70 GPa.This study indicates that less nitrogen than carbon can explain geophysical phenomena in the deep Earth,such as the density deficit. 相似文献

对于无(弱)水力联系的多含水层,混合井改变了含水层的结构,通过井筒将无(弱)水力联系的含水层联通。对于大区域井流问题数值模拟,MODFLOW中显式流量分配法和"High Kv in Wellblock"法的假设条件都很难得到满足,将两者耦合起来拓展其适用范围。采用质量守恒定理和Darcy定律计算井网格的平均等效渗透系数,结合显式流量分配法模拟混合井流问题。最后,通过两个典型算例来验证该方法的合理性,其中一个算例是非完整井穿透相邻的两个含水层,另一个算例是完整井穿透两个含水层,且中间有隔水层。将耦合法的计算结果与显式流量分配法对比,结果表明:只有在第一个例子中当水流达到稳定时,两种方法的计算结果几乎相同,且井网格的水头差很小;而其它情况两者的差别很明显,且采用流量分配法计算井网格的水头差大于耦合法计算井网格的水头差。根据Neville等的相关结论可知采用耦合法对于文中的两个例子都比较合理。 相似文献
