Hydroxyl in olivines from mantle xenoliths in kimberlites of the Siberian platform   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

S.?S.?MatsyukEmail author  K.?Langer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2004,147(4):413-437

From a total of 335 olivine crystal grains, crystallographically orientated platelets and, where possible, parallelepipeds were prepared, chemically analysed by electron microprobe, examined under the polarisation microscope, and studied by polarised FTIR microscope-absorption-spectrometry in the _OH vibrational range, 3,000–3,800 cm^–1. The 335 crystal grains were extracted from 174 different specimens of Yakutian upper mantle material, including 97 xenoliths that represent all the rock types occurring in all the kimberlites of the Siberian shield. The other specimens were mega- and macrocrysts or inclusions in diamonds and garnets. Analysis of the polarised _OH-spectra allowed distinction between hydroxyl in non-intrinsic separate inclusions, NSI, and in isolated local or condensed extended defects, intrinsic to the olivines, ILD or CED, respectively. As the two latter types cannot be distinguished by vibrational spectroscopy, and as they are presumably interconnected by intracrystalline condensation reactions of the type n [ILD][CED]_n, we propose to symbolise them as [ILD/CED]. Of the total of 70 polarised _OH-bands that were found in the whole set, 17 are caused by NSI, 53 by [ILD/CED]. Total mean integrated _OH-band intensities, (̄_int)_total with ̄_int=(_||a+_||b+_||c)_int/3, were determined from the spectra. They yielded the contents of structurally unallocated water, using the recent calibration of the IR-method (Bell et al. 2003). The range is 0<wt. ppm (H₂O)_total<419. Olivines included in diamonds were found to be free of hydroxyl (detection limit of the single crystal IR-spectrometry, ca. 1 wt. ppm water). The total water contents of the different types of olivines increase in the sequence groundmass crystals < megacrysts < macrocrysts. NSI are: (1) Serpentine plus talc with _OH in the range 3,704–3,657 cm^–1, either polarised along a of the olivine matrix (Pbnm setting) or unpolarised. Approximately 232 olivines out of the 335 contain such NSI. Serpentine and talc occur mostly together, in rare cases one of them alone and if so, mostly talc. (2) Mg-edenite or Mg-pargasite occur rarely and with _OH at 3,709–3,711 cm^–1. NIS types (1) and (2) are presumably formed by metasomatic alterations of the host olivines, the orientated ones probably in the mantle, the unorientated ones during later stages. (3) The spectra of 23 olivine crystals, displayed specifically a _OH-band, polarised c>a>b, at 3,327–3,328 cm^–1, an energy typical of _OH in hydrous wadsleyite. We assume this phase to be present as NIS in the respective olivines, possibly as relic phase. (4) Weak bands between 3,175 and 3,260 cm^–1 polarised along c, are tentatively assigned to molecular water NSI with relatively strong hydrogen bonds to the matrix. We did not find larger clusters of molecular water, i.e. liquid-like water with its characteristic broad band centred at ca. 3,400 cm^–1. We did also not find any humite minerals as an NSI. Of the 53 _OH-bands intrinsic to olivine, the 29 most abundant and strong ones were subject to further analysis in terms of OH^–-bearing structural defects [ILD/CED]. Nearly all these bands are strongly polarised along a. Two bands at 3,672 and 3,535 cm^–1 are assigned to boron-related defects, [ILD/CED]_B. Five bands at 3,573, 3,563, 3,541, 3,524 and 3,512 cm^–1 are intensity-correlated and are assigned to Si-depleted titan-clinohumite-like defects, [ILD/CED]_(thl). The other, so far unidentified _OH of [ILD/CED] are suggested to originate from OH^– in different types of (Mg, Fe)-depleted defects recently predicted and discovered by TEM. These are called [ILD/CED]_(KWK). Eight mostly strong bands of them occur at energies higher than 3,573 cm^–1, [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-H, 13 strong to medium strong bands occur below 3,500 cm^–1, [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-L. Such intrinsic defects may occur alone, [ILD/CED]_(thl) and [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-H, or in different combinations with each other, [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-H+[ILD/CED]_(thl), [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-H+[ILD/CED]_(KWK)-L and [ILD/CED]_(KWK)-H+[ILD/CED]_(thl)+[ILD/CED]_(KWK)-L. Though there are indications that the occurrences of such types and combinations of the intrinsic OH^–-bearing defects in the olivines are related to the types and genetic peculiarities of their host rocks, straightforward and simple correlations do not exist. The reasons for this and also for the great number of varieties of intrinsic [ILD/CED] are discussed.Editorial responsibility: J. Hoefs

Local relaxation around ^[6]Cr ³⁺ in synthetic pyrope–knorringite garnets, ^[8]Mg ₃ ^[6](Al _1-X Cr _X ³⁺) ₂ ^[4]Si ₃O ₁₂, from electronic absorption spectra     

M. N. Taran  K. Langer  I. Abs-Wurmbach  D. J. Frost  A. N. Platonov 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2004,31(9):650-657

Pyrope-knorringite garnets, Mg₃(Al_1-X Cr³⁺_X)₂Si₃O₁₂ with X=0.25, 0.50, and 1.00, were synthesized between 9 and 16 GPa and 1300 and 1600 °C, using multianvil high-pressure techniques. The garnets with X=0.25 and 0.50 are fine-grained, pink and violet in color. The end-member knorringites with X=1.00 are black when compact and gray when coarse-grained. The fine powder is greenish gray in natural light and pale pink under a tungsten lamp. Powder remission spectra in the wavenumber range 30 000–10 000 cm^–1 on finely powdered crystals were measured by two different methods: (I.) by the use of a small integrating sphere for small samples or (II.) microscope-spectrometric measurement using diffusely reflected radiation from a 45° illuminated microsample. Both methods yielded similar diffuse reflectance spectra. The following crystal-field parameters of ^[6]Cr³⁺ were determined for garnets with X=0.25, 0.50, 1.00: 10 Dq=17 856, 17 596, 17 286 cm^–1; and B=654, 677, 706 cm^–1; nephelauxetic ratio =(B_field/B_free)= 0.71, 0.74, 0.77. The -values indicate decreasing covalency of the Cr–O bond with increasing Cr content. The 10 Dq value for together with the mean Cr–O distance in end-member knorringite, 1.96 Å (Novak and Gibbs 1971), were used to calculate from the spectral data, local mean Cr–O distances (Langer 2001a) as a function of composition. The results indicate relatively strong local site relaxation with a value of =0.77.  相似文献   

Volcanic Tremor at Mt. Etna,Italy, Preceding and Accompanying the Eruption of July – August, 2001     

S. Falsaperla  S. Alparone  S. D’Amico  G. Grazia  F. Ferrari  H. Langer  T. Sgroi  S. Spampinato 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2005,162(11):2111-2132

The July 17 – August 9, 2001 flank eruption of Mt. Etna was preceded and accompanied by remarkable changes in volcanic tremor. Based on the records of stations belonging to the permanent seismic network deployed on the volcano, we analyze amplitude and frequency content of the seismic signal. We find considerable changes in the volcanic tremor which mark the transition to different styles of eruptive activity, e.g., lava fountains, phreatomagmatic activity, Strombolian explosions. In particular, the frequency content of the signal decreases from 5 Hz to 3 Hz at our reference station ETF during episodes of lava fountains, and further decreases at about 2 Hz throughout phases of intense lava emission. The frequency content and the ratios of the signal amplitude allow us to distinguish three seismic sources, i.e., the peripheral dike which fed the eruption, the reservoir which fed the lava fountains, and the central conduit. Based on the analysis of the amplitude decay of the signal, we highlight the migration of the dike from a depth of ca. 5 km to about 1 km between July 10 and 12. After the onset of the effusive phase, the distribution of the amplitude decay at our stations can be interpreted as the overall result of sources located within the first half kilometer from the surface. Although on a qualitative basis, our findings shed some light on the complex feeding system of Mt. Etna, and integrate other volcanological and geophysical studies which tackle the problem of magma replenishment for the July–August, 2001 flank eruption. We conclude that volcanic tremor is fundamental in monitoring Mt. Etna, not only as a marker of the different sources which act within the volcano edifice, but also of the diverse styles of eruptive activity. An erratum to this article is available at .  相似文献   

Biodiversität und Ökologie aquatischer Oomycetes‐Arten im Auesee und in der Fulda in Kassel (Hessen)     

Alexandra Riethmüller  Ewald Langer 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2005,33(2):157-164

Biodiversity and Ecology of Species of Aquatic Oomycetes in the Aue Lake and the River Fulda in Kassel (Hessen) In this study, we record diversity and ecology of aquatic Oomycetes in the Aue Lake and the river Fulda in Kassel (Hesse, Germany). We monthly collected water samples of both water bodies from July 2003 to June 2004. The baiting method was used to gain an insight into the occurrence of aquatic Oomycetes. A total of 14 species of aquatic Oomycetes belonging to the orders Saprolegniales, Leptomitales and Olpidiopsidales could be isolated of both water bodies. Numerous saprophytic isolates of Rhizophydium Schenk (Chytridiomycetes), Rhizophydium carpophilum (Zopf) Fischer, parasitic on Oomycetes, and additionally one species of Plasmodiophoromycetes, Woronina polycystis Cornu could be isolated. Many isolates of Saprolegniales attributable to the genera Achlya Nees, Dictyuchus Leitgeb, Saprolegnia Nees and Pythium Pringsheim (Pythiales), which could only be identified on generic level, could be isolated as well. The species were examined and discussed with respect to their occurrence in the stagnant water Aue Lake and/or in the running water of the river Fulda. Half of the isolated species only occurred in one of the water bodies. In this study the occurrence of Achlya proliferoides Coker could be documented for Germany for the first time. The trophic status of the Aue Lake and of the classification of water quality of the river Fulda were determined by limnological‐chemical parameters obtained by simultaneous investigations of both water bodies.  相似文献   

Attenuation in Southeastern Sicily (Italy) by applying different coda methods     

E. Giampiccolo  G. Tusa  H. Langer  S. Gresta 《Journal of Seismology》2002,6(4):487-501

The attenuation in Southeastern Sicily has been investigated using 40aftershocks of the December 13 1990, earthquake. The quality factor ofcoda waves (Q_c) was estimated in the frequency range 1.5–24 Hz,applying three different methods in time and frequency domains. On thewhole, a clear dependence of Q_c on frequency was observed,according to the general law Q = Q₀(f/f₀)ⁿ . Thefrequency dependence relationships obtained from the analysis of codawaves at three lapse time windows (10, 20 and 30 seconds) show that, forall methods, Q₀ (Q_c at 1 Hz) significantly increases with lapsetime. In particular, Q₀ is approximately 20 at short lapse time (10s) and increases to about 70 at longer lapse time (30 s). This is attributedto the fact that larger lapse times involve deeper parts of the crust andupper lithosphere which may be characterized by larger quality factors.Moreover, the value of the exponent n decreases with increasing codalengths from about 1.3 to 0.9, suggesting a decrease in heterogeneity ofthe medium with depth.Finally, Q_c-values here found are of the same order as thosereported from other tectonic regions like the Anatolian Highlands orSouthern Spain, while significantly higher than in the neighboring volcanicarea of Mt. Etna.  相似文献

Synthesis,lattice constants and OH-valence vibrations of an orthorhombic amphibole with excess OH in the system Li2O-MgO-SiO2-H2O     

W. V. Maresch  K. Langer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1976,56(1):27-34

Orthorhombic amphiboles with excess OH, which can be schematically deduced from anthophyllite by the combined substitutions Mg²⁺ + O^2–Li⁺+OH^– and Mg²⁺2 Li⁺, were synthesized at 750–875° C/1 kbar in the system Li₂O-MgO-SiO₂-H₂O. Their phase relations are presented for 800° C/1 kbar . An amphibole with the analytical composition 2.70 wt% Li₂O, 31.1 wt% MgO, 63.0 wt% SiO₂, and 3.29 wt% H₂O has lattice constants a ₀ 18.588 (11), b ₀ 17.966 (10), c ₀ 5.262 (3) Å, V ₀ 1,757.2 (1.5) ų (referred to Space Group Pnma). The OH-valence vibrational spectrum of this amphibole showed v _OH bands at 3,667, 3,708, and 3,725 (shoulder) cm^–1, which are ascribed to OH in the configurations (MgMgMg)-OH, (MgMgMg)-OH-Li (Li in the A-site) of the pseudotrigonal (M1M1M3)-OH arrangement in the amphibole structure, and to Si-OH, respectively. No explanation can at present be offered for an additional shoulder at 3,695 cm^–1. The proposed structural formula is (Li_{0.27 0.73})(Li_1.11 Mg_0.89)· (Mg₅)(Si_8.01O_21.20(OH)_0.80)(OH)_2.00.  相似文献   

Measurement of the polarized absorption spectra of synthetic transition metal-bearing silicate microcrystals in the spectral range 44,000-4,000 cm−1     

K. Langer  R. M. Abu-Eid 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1977,1(3):273-299

A new single beam microtechnique has been developed for measuring the polarized absorption spectra in the region 44,000-4,000 cm^?1. Spectra of a natural garnet (Spess₇₀Alm₃₀), measured by the microtechnique and by conventional macrotechniques, are consistent and thus prove the applicability of the microtechnique described. It is possible to obtain well resolved spectra down to about 13,000 cm^?1 with crystals as small as about 10 μm. Thus spectra of crystals obtained in routine high-pressure high-temperature silicate syntheses can be measured. The polarized spectra of Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺, and Cr³⁺ in the following synthetic silicate minerals are presented: piemontite (I), acmite (II), orthoferrosilite (III), and kyanite (IV) or uvarovite (V), respectively. O-Cr³⁺, O-Mn³⁺, and O-Fe²⁺ charge transfer band maxima in the UV region are identified at 38,700 cm^?1, in V; at 33,200, 35,300, and 39,000 cm^?1, in I; and at 32,800, 35,200, and 37,300 cm^?1, in III, respectively. Bands in the region ≦25,000 cm^?1 are assigned to spin-allowed and spin-forbidden dd transitions as predicted from crystal field theoretical considerations for the foregoing ions in the respective structures.  相似文献   

Hydrogarnet substitution in pyrope: a possible location for “water” in the mantle     

L. Ackermann  L. Cemič  K. Langer 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1983,62(2):208-214

Single-crystal spectra of pyropes, synthesized on the 3:1:3 composition of the system MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ atp_H2O = p_total = 25kbar and 1000°C, show a broad band centered at around 3400 cm^?1 due toν_H2O of (H₂O)_n aggregates in fluid inclusions and a sharp intense band near 3600 cm^?1 due toν_OH of (HO)₄^4? clusters introduced by the hydrogarnet substitutionSi⁴⁺ = 4H⁺. The water contents in the synthetic pyrope, due to (HO)₄^4? clusters are estimated near 0.05 wt.% H₂O from spectroscopic data. Si deficits in microprobe analyses of the pyropes studied support the hydrogarnet substitution. These results show that the hydrogarnet substitution in pyrope may contribute to water contents in the mantle.  相似文献
