Optical absorption of electronic Fe–Ti charge-transfer transition in natural andalusite: the thermal stability of the charge-transfer band     

Michail N. Taran  Monika Koch-Müller 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(3):215-222

Differently colored natural Brazilian andalusite crystals heat-treated under reducing and oxidizing conditions were analyzed by optical spectroscopy. The intensity of a broad intense band at around 20,500 cm⁻¹ in the optical absorption spectra of all color zones of the sample is proportional to the product of Ti- and Fe-concentrations and herewith proves its attribution to electronic Fe²⁺/Ti⁴⁺ IVCT transition. The band is strictly E||c-polarized, causing an intense red coloration of the samples in this polarization. The polarization of the Fe²⁺/Ti⁴⁺ IVCT band in andalusite, E||c, shows that the electronic charge-transfer process takes place in Al–O octahedral groups that share edges with neighbors on either side, forming chains parallel to the c-axis of the andalusite structure. Under thermal treatments in air, the first noticeable change is some intensification of the band at 800°C. However, at higher temperatures its intensity decreases until it vanishes at 1,000°C in lightly colored zones and 1,100°C in darkly colored ones. Under annealing in reducing conditions at 700 and 800°C, the band also slightly increases and maintains its intensity at treatments at higher temperatures up to 1,000°C. These results demonstrate that weakening and disappearance of the Fe²⁺/Ti⁴⁺ IVCT band in spectra of andalusite under annealing in air is caused by oxidization of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ in IVCT Fe²⁺/Ti⁴⁺-pairs. Some intensification of the band at 800°C is, most probably, due to thermally induced diffusion of Fe²⁺ and Ti⁴⁺ in the structure that leads to aggregation of “isolated” Ti⁴⁺ and Fe²⁺ ions into Fe²⁺–Ti⁴⁺-pairs. At higher temperatures, the competing process of Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ oxidation overcomes such “coupling” and the band continues to decrease. The different thermal stability of the band in lightly and darkly colored zones of the samples evidence some self-stabilization over an interaction of Fe²⁺/Ti⁴⁺-pairs involved in IVCT process.  相似文献   

Tracing metamorphism,exhumation and topographic evolution in orogenic belts by multiple thermochronology: a case study from the Nízke Tatry Mts., Western Carpathians     

Martin Danišík  Jaroslav Kadlec  Christoph Glotzbach  Anett Weisheit  István Dunkl  Milan Kohút  Noreen J. Evans  Monika Orvošová  Brad J. McDonald 《Swiss Journal of Geoscience》2011,104(2):285-298

A combination of four thermochronometers [zircon fission track (ZFT), zircon (U–Th)/He (ZHe), apatite fission track (AFT) and apatite (U–Th–[Sm])/He (AHe) dating methods] applied to a valley to ridge transect is used to resolve the issues of metamorphic, exhumation and topographic evolution of the Nízke Tatry Mts. in the Western Carpathians. The ZFT ages of 132.1 ± 8.3, 155.1 ± 12.9, 146.8 ± 8.6 and 144.9 ± 11.0 Ma show that Variscan crystalline basement of the Nízke Tatry Mts. was heated to temperatures >210°C during the Mesozoic and experienced a low-grade Alpine metamorphic overprint. ZHe and AFT ages, clustering at ~55–40 and ~45–40 Ma, respectively, revealed a rapid Eocene cooling event, documenting erosional and/or tectonic exhumation related to the collapse of the Carpathian orogenic wedge. This is the first evidence that exhumation of crystalline cores in the Western Carpathians took place in the Eocene and not in the Cretaceous as traditionally believed. Bimodal AFT length distributions, Early Miocene AHe ages and thermal modelling results suggest that the samples were heated to temperatures of ~55–90°C during Oligocene–Miocene times. This thermal event may be related either to the Oligocene/Miocene sedimentary burial, or Miocene magmatic activity and increased heat flow. This finding supports the concept of thermal instability of the Carpathian crystalline bodies during the post-Eocene period.  相似文献

“Terrae motus factus est”: earthquakes in Switzerland before A.D. 1000. A critical approach     

Monika Gisler  Donat Fäh  Virgilio Masciadri 《Natural Hazards》2007,43(1):63-79

We focus on Swiss earthquakes in antiquity and the early medieval period before A.D. 1000. We have information on less than half a dozen earthquakes within this era, since written records for the first half of the first millennium A.D. are minimal, and there is little hope of finding more written evidence for earthquakes. Furthermore, interpreting the documents at hand is somewhat complex. For the 6th century Gregory of Tours in Historia Francorum gives hints of a rockslide near the castle Tauredunum (Le Grammont) in the Swiss canton Valais, an event that has been considered in the literature as caused by an earthquake. The Carolingian period (ca. 750–950) included the rise of some very important cultural centers in various parts of today’s Switzerland. For instance, the ecclesiastical culture in St. Gallen generated a remarkable number of written records, which survived for our use in a unique manner. From the 9th and 10th centuries, we have evidence for earthquakes in the years 849, 867, 902, and 944. However, information on them remains so scarce that their location and intensity are generally difficult to assess. Nevertheless, the finding of a new document - a memoir written by the abbot of Reichenau - offers some insight into the A.D. 849 event and its reportedly aftershocks.

Surface Variability of Alluvial Fans Generated by Disparate Processes,Eastern Death Valley,CA     

Thad Wasklewicz  Monika Mihir  Jennifer Whitworth 《The Professional geographer》2013,65(2):207-223

This study explores the surface variability of alluvial fans from digital elevations model (DEM) derivatives generated from 1-m planimetric resolution airborne laser swath mapping data. Channel and interfluve dimensions of debris flow (DF) fans and fans generated from predominantly fluvial flows and some older debris flows (mixed flow [MF]) are extracted with the aid of a planimetric curvature classification. Significant differences are identified between the fan surface topography of DF and MF fans. MF fans tend to have smaller channel and interfluve widths, have smaller elevation differences between the crest of the interfluve and channel, and are more dissected than DF fans. The morphometric differences between the two fan classes can be explained by differences in the primary processes that develop the surficial features, but also the preponderance for secondary erosional processes acting on the MF fans.  相似文献   

Determination of Fluoride Ions in Iron Ores by UV–VIS Spectrophotometry after Matrix Removal Using Diphonix® Resin     

Agata Jakóbik‐Kolon  Monika Skwira 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2012,36(1):21-25

A modification of the spectrophotometric method for the determination of fluoride ions in iron‐rich materials is proposed. In this method the iron matrix was successfully removed using Diphonix^® resin. The studied sample was a ferruginous mineral which contained about 38% of iron. The Euronorm certified reference material (ECRM) 676‐1 (Iron Ore Sinter), as a commercially available material having a similar matrix (39.76% w/w Fe) and fluoride level (0.1% w/w), was used to validate the method. After partial digestion in concentrated hydrochloric acid the samples were diluted and passed through Diphonix^® resin. The concentration of fluoride ions was determined by a spectrophotometric method using a Zr:ER complex (λ = 540 nm). The result obtained for the ECRM was in good agreement with the certificate specification and thus proved the method to be applicable for the determination of fluoride ions in iron‐rich materials. Due to the easy digestion step and simple requirements for equipment, this method can be used in most laboratories.  相似文献
