Refractive index and compressibility of Di64An36 glass over a pressure range of 0–5.0 GPa     

R. G. Kuryaeva  N. V. Surkov 《Geochemistry International》2012,50(12):1026-1031

Data on the refractive index, density, and bulk modulus variations of Di₆₄An₃₆ glass, which is used as a model basalt melt, were obtained with a polarization interference microscope and a high-pressure diamond anvil cell at ambient temperature and pressure up to 5.0 GPa. An anomalous decrease in the bulk modulus, K _t , was observed in the pressure range 0?C1.0 GPa. The values of the zero-pressure isothermal bulk modulus, K _t,0 = 22.2, and variation of the bulk modulus with pressure, ??K _t /??P = 11.35, were derived using a linear equation relating K _t and P over the pressure range with the normal behavior of the compressibility. A comparison of our results with previous data on other glasses and melts showed that the bulk moduli of silicate glasses are similar to those of corresponding melts. The values of the pressure coefficient of the bulk moduli, ??K _t /??P, for glasses derived from linear equations are 2.5 times higher than the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, K?? _T , derived using the Birch-Murnaghan equation for corresponding melts. The difference in ??K _t /??P and K?? _T has an effect on the compressibility of glasses and melts. The compressibility of glasses up to 5.0 GPa calculated as (d ? d ₀)/d is almost two times lower than that of corresponding melts.  相似文献   

Physicochemical model for the crystallization of rocks of the calc-alkaline series

The Al-rich region of the CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system was experimentally studied at pressures of 1.0–2.8 GPa and temperatures of 1300–1535°C. The slopes of the lines of the monovariant reactions An + Sp = Cpx + Cor + (Ga) and L = Cpx + Ga + Cor + Sp and the compositions of the phases involved in these reactions are determined. The results are utilized in the topological analysis of the aluminous region of the CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system. On this basis, the principal structure of the phase diagram is analyzed, and a phase diagram is constructed for the junction region of the quaternary system and the CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ ternary system. A continuous series of the monovariant eutectic: L = Cpx + Opx + Fo + An, L = Cpx + Opx + An + Sp, L = Cpx + (Ga) + An + Sp, L = Cpx + Cor + (Ga) + An, L = An + Ga + Cpx + Ky and L = Ga + Cpx + Ky + Qz is examined within the pressure range from atmospheric to 3.0 GPa and higher. Analogous “telescoped” eutectic series are of fundamental character for interpreting the evolution of magmatic melts. A physicochemical model is suggested for the evolution of magmatic melts that produce rocks of the calc-alkaline series, with this model underlain by the fact that a change in the composition of magmatic melt at a pressure decrease should correspond to the minimum melting temperatures, i.e., to melts in the fundamental series of eutectic reactions. The comparison of our physicochemical model and rocks of the calc-alkaline series shows that the compositions of rocks of the calc-alkaline series are close to the compositions determined for the eutectic equilibria, and the mineralogical composition of xenoliths and megacrysts in volcanic and dike varieties of the rocks are similar to the subsolidus phases of the established fundamental eutectic system.  相似文献   

The conservation of an aqueous fluid in inclusions in minerals and their interstices at high pressures and temperatures during the decomposition of antigorite

An experimental study of serpentine decomposition at high pressure (4.5 GPa) was carried out to elucidate if water can be preserved in the system in the form other than structural admixtures in minerals. This problem is of interest because it is water that plays a leading role in the melting in a subducted slab and a mantle wedge. To estimate the possible content of an aqueous fluid in deep-seated rocks, a BARS pressless split-sphere apparatus was used in complex with thermobarogeochemistry and gas chromatography. It has been established that the serpentine decomposition is accompanied by the release of water, which concentrates in inclusions in the produced minerals (olivine and orthopyroxene) and their interstices. Chromatographic analysis with a stepwise heating of samples showed that most of the released water is localized in the interstices, and the rest is conserved in fluid inclusions in the minerals. The produced solid phases conserve 0.13 to 2.43 wt.% fluids as inclusions, with water amounting to 0.1–2.06 wt.%. The content of inclusions determined by microscopic examination falls in this region. Since the mobility of the fluid conserved as inclusions in the olivine and orthopyroxene is significantly lower than that in the interstices, this fluid might be better preserved in olivine-containing rocks subsided to depth.  相似文献
