The temperature dependence of the hexagonal c unit cell parameter of high-purity NaNO3 shows an anomaly at 553 K corresponding to the orientational ordering transition. The a unit cell parameter is barely influenced by the transition. The single component spontaneous strain for this zone boundary instability is large (55×10–3 at 295 K), and couples quadratically with the order parameter. The critical exponent is found to have the value 0.22 ± 0.01, which differs from that expected in the classical case. Below ca 450 K, crossover to tricritical behaviour is observed (=1/4). The temperature evolution of the macroscopic order parameter as revealed by the temperature dependence of the spontaneous strain follows a tricritical behaviour between 70 K and 450 K. At temperatures below 70 K order parameter saturation is observed. Combined with recent data from specific heat measurements, the critical exponents suggest that the three-dimensional, three-states Potts model may describe the transition.Precursor spontaneous strain above T
c is consistent with local ordering and may result from fluctuations associated with an antiordered NO3 group pair configuration. 相似文献

Constraining the burial history of a sedimentary basin is crucial for accurate prediction of hydrocarbon generation and migration. Although the Ghadames Basin is a prolific hydrocarbon province, with recoverable oil discovered to date in excess of 3.5 billion bbl, exploration on the eastern margin is still limited and the prospectivity of the area depends on the identification of effective source rocks and the timing of hydrocarbon generation. Sonic velocity, apatite fission track (FT) and vitrinite reflectance analysis offer three complementary methods to determine burial history and provide independent analytical techniques to evaluate the timing and amount of exhumation. The results indicate that two phases of tectonic activity had the biggest influence on basin evolution: the Hercynian (Late Carboniferous–Triassic) and Alpine (Late Mesozoic/Cenozoic) tectonic events. Exhumation during the Hercynian tectonic event increases from the SE, where an almost complete Palaeozoic section is preserved, towards the NW. This study quantifies the significant regional Alpine exhumation of the southern and eastern margins of the basin, with important implications for the timing of hydrocarbon maturation and expulsion, particularly for the Silurian source rock interval. Incorporating elevated Alpine exhumation values into burial history models for wells in the eastern (Libyan) part of the basin allows calibration with available maturity (Roeq ) data using moderate values of Hercynian erosion. The result is preservation of the generation potential of Silurian (Tanezzuft) source rocks until maximum burial during Mesozoic/Cenozoic time, which improves the chance for preservation of hydrocarbon accumulations following entrapment. 相似文献

Absolute tip–tilt recovery using a tilt signal measured on a Laser Guide Star is a central problem in the framework of the development of Adaptive Optics Systems reaching full sky coverage down to visible wavelengths. In the past few years, various techniques aimed at solving this problemhave been proposed. However only a couple of these has been recentlytested in practice.We report about an experiment aimed at evaluating the performance of one of these techniques called the Elongation Perspective technique. Our experiment has been performed using the ALFA system inCalar-Alto (Spain) and involves the simultaneous operation of the 3.6 m and the 2.2 m telescopes at the Observatory.This article describes the telescope configuration used, as well as the datareduction process carried out in order to estimate the scientific objecttilt. The technique performances are discussed in terms of the residualtilt error variance and related correlation coefficient. The analysisshows that, despite the low SNR of our measurements, the atmospheric tiltvariance is reduced to 80% of its initial value corresponding to acorrelation coefficient of about 0.6. To get a betterestimate of the performance achievable using this technique,the tilt error variance due to photon noise in the laser measurementis estimated and removed from the obtained tilt error variance.When this correction is done, thisvariance is reduced to about 50% of its initial value, showingthat the use of this technique can give rise to a significant reduction of the scientific object image motion. 相似文献

The partitioning of Fe and Mg between the M1 and M2 octahedral sites of olivine has been investigated by in situ time-of-flight
neutron powder diffraction. The degree of M-cation order was determined from direct measurements of site occupancies in a
synthetic sample of Fo50Fa50 heated to 1250 °C at the Fe-FeO oxygen buffer. Fe shows slight preference for M1 at temperatures
below about 600 °C, progressively disordering on heating to this temperature. Above 630 °C, the temperature at which site
preferences cross over (T
cr), Fe preferentially occupies M2, becoming progressively more ordered into M2 on increasing temperature. The cation-ordering
behaviour is discussed in relation to the temperature dependence of the M1 and M2 site geometries, and it is suggested that
vibrational entropy, crystal field effects and changes in bond characteristics play a part in the cross-over of partitioning
behaviour. The temperature dependence of site ordering is modelled using a Landau expansion of the free energy of ordering
of the type ΔG = −hQ + gTQ + (T − T
c)Q
2 + Q
4, with a/h = 0.00406 K−1, b/h = 2.3, T
c = 572 K and g/h = 0.00106 K−1. These results suggest that the high-temperature ordering behaviour across the forsterite-fayalite join will have a bearing
on the activity-composition relations of this important rock-forming mineral, and indicate that Fe-Mg olivine solid solutions
become less ideal as temperature increases.

Infrared spectra of C-O-H micro-inclusions were collected from a micro-inclusion bearing diamond during step-heating and freezing experiments to examine fluid speciation as a function of pressure and temperature. The inclusions contain H2O, CO2, carbonate, apatite, quartz and mica, which together represent the oxidising remnant mantle fluid composition after diamond crystallisation. The internal pressure of the inclusions, measured from calibrated shifts of the quartz peaks, increases from 1.3 GPa at ambient temperature, to approximately 4-5 GPa at 737 °C, close to the conditions of crystallisation of the host diamond in the mantle. 相似文献

The behaviour of the ammonium ion in synthetic buddingtonite, N(D,H)4AlSi3O8, has been studied by infrared (IR) spectroscopy from 20 K to 298 K and by 2H NMR spectroscopy from 120 K to 298 K. IR spectra were collected from 500 to 3500 cm–1. Static 2H NMR spectra collected at 298 K and 120 K are very similar, consisting of a single sharp isotropic resonance, indicating complete averaging of quadrupolar interactions and implying that at these temperatures the ammonium ion is in rapid (<1 s) randomised motion within the M-site cavity of the feldspar framework. NMR spectroscopy indicates that the splitting of the internal modes of the ammonium ion observed by IR spectroscopy is not due to freezing in of the ammonium ion. This observation rules out the formation of a preferred N–H...O hydrogen bond, with precession of the ion about it, as proposed by Kimball and Megaw (1978), because any N–H...O hydrogen bond must be very weak and transient in nature. Contraction of the cavity site upon cooling imposes a distortion upon the ammonium ion that affects vibrational modes. This distortion does not affect the motion of the ammonium ion as observed on the NMR time-scale. 相似文献

The phase transition between the
and
phases of anorthite has been studied at elevated pressure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell. The
phase transition is shown to be first-order in character for both end-member anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) and for an anorthite with a small amount of albite component (NaAlSi3O8) in solid solution. Reversals of the transition across the phase boundary at three other compositions show that the transition
pressure (P
Tr) increases with increasing albite content. This behaviour is compared with that observed at elevated temperatures, and is
analysed in terms of Landau theory. 相似文献

The thermal anomalies associated with the Ia3d → I41/acd → I41/a transition sequence of phase transitions in leucite have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and interpreted
with Landau theory. Both transitions are close to the tricritical point. The coupling between the two transitions is biquadratic,
and reduces the stability of the I41/a phase. 相似文献

Zones of anomalously high topography within continental interiors, distant from active plate boundaries, are interpreted as being either dynamically supported by viscous flow in the underlying mantle or influenced by plate tectonics. Constraining the models of their genesis requires accurate data on the timing and dimensions of such features. New apatite fission‐track and thermal maturity data from the Illizi Basin in Algeria quantify the magnitude and timing of kilometre–scale uplift and exhumation of the northern flank of the Hoggar swell in North Africa. The findings of this study, integrated with previously published thermochronological data, confirm that long‐wavelength regional uplift occurred during the Cenozoic extending over a distance in excess of 1500 km from north to south. The uplift, centred on the Hoggar Massif, significantly impacted the flanking Illizi and Tim Mersoï basins. The combination of thermal history modelling and regional stratigraphic observations indicates that the onset of exhumation of the Illizi Basin likely occurred during the Eocene, broadly coincident with magmatism on the Hoggar Massif to the south and the onset of tectonic shortening in the Atlasic belt to the north. 相似文献
