Vibrational spectroscopy of beta-eucryptite (LiAlSiO<Subscript>4</Subscript>): optical phonons and phase transition(s)

The structural behavior of -eucryptite (LiAlSiO₄) has been investigated using infrared (IR) spectroscopy over a temperature range of 20 to 900 K and FT-Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. IR reflectance measurements show that -eucryptite possesses high reflectivity in the far-IR region, as is consistent with its reported superionic conductivity along the c-axis. On heating, the Li-related IR bands near 246 and 300 cm^–1 (with A₂ symmetry) broadened and weakened dramatically, presumably as a result of Li⁺ positional disordering along the structural channels parallel to c. The disordering process appears to induce a framework distortion, as is evidenced by the broadening of some vibrations of Si(Al)–O with increasing temperature. A change in slope in the temperature dependence of the phonon frequency near 300 cm^–1 and the linewidth of the 760 cm^–1 band at 715 K indicates that Li becomes completely disordered above this temperature. In addition, the temperature dependence of the linewidth for the 760 cm^–1 band exhibits an additional change in slope at 780 K, implying the existence of an intermediate state within this temperature range. The detailed structure of this intermediate phase, however, needs further study. Our IR data provide no indication of structural changes between room temperature and 20 K.  相似文献   

Nonlinearity of Nonradial Modes in Evolved Stars     

Rafał M. Nowakowski  Wojciech A. Dziembowski 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,284(1):273-276

We show that in evolved stars, even at relatively low surfaceamplitudes, nonradial modes become strongly nonlinear in thehydrogen shell source, where the Brunt-Väisälä frequency hasits absolute maximum. The measure of nonlinearity is the productof horizontal displacement times the radial wavenumber, . It becomes large already in evolved -Scuti stars.This nonlinearity presents a major problem for interpretations ofamplitude modulation in RR Lyrae stars in terms of nonradial modeexcitation.  相似文献   

The Apsidal Antialignment of the HD 82943 System     

Jianghui Ji  Hiroshi Kinoshita  Lin Liu  Guangyu Li  Hiroshi Nakai 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2003,87(1-2):113-120

We perform numerical simulations to explore the dynamical evolution of the HD 82943 planetary system. By simulating diverse planetary configurations, we find two mechanisms of stabilizing the system: the 2:1 mean motion resonance (MMR) between the two planets can act as the first mechanism for all stable orbits. The second mechanism is a dynamical antialignment of the apsidal lines of the orbiting planets, which implies that the difference of the periastron longitudes ₃ librates about 180° in the simulations. We also use a semi-analytical model to explain the numerical results for the system under study.  相似文献   

A general model for modifying Stokes’ formula and its least-squares solution   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

L.E. Sjöberg 《Journal of Geodesy》2003,77(7-8):459-464

Today the combination of Stokes formula and an Earth gravity model (EGM) for geoid determination is a standard procedure. However, the method of modifying Stokes formula varies from author to author, and numerous methods of modification exist. Most methods modify Stokes kernel, but the most widely applied method, the remove compute restore technique, removes the EGM from the gravity anomaly to attain a residual gravity anomaly under Stokes integral, and at least one known method modifies both Stokes kernel and the gravity anomaly. A general model for modifying Stokes formula is presented; it includes most of the well-known techniques of modification as special cases. By assuming that the error spectra of the gravity anomalies and the EGM are known, the optimum model of modification is derived based on the least-squares principle. This solution minimizes the expected mean square error (MSE) of all possible solutions of the general geoid model. A practical formula for estimating the MSE is also presented. The power of the optimum method is demonstrated in two special cases.

A Comparative Analysis of Transpiration and Bare Soil Evaporation   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Ferenc Ács 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2003,109(2):139-162

Transpiration E^v and bare soil evaporation E^b processes are comparatively analysed assuming homogeneous and inhomogeneous areal distributions of volumetric soil moisture content . For a homogeneous areal distribution of we use a deterministic model, while for inhomogeneous distributions a statistical-deterministic diagnostic surface energy balance model is applied. The areal variations of are simulated by Monte-Carlo runs assuming normal distributions of .The numerical experiments are performed for loam. In the experiments we used different parameterizations for vegetation and bare soil surface resistances and strong atmospheric forcing. According to the results theE^v()-^Eb() differences are great, especially in dry conditions. In spite of this, the available energy flux curves of vegetation A^v() and bare soil A^b() surfaces differ much less than the E^v() and ^Eb() curves. The results suggest that E^v is much more non-linearly related to environmental conditions than ^Eb. Both E^v and ^Eb depend on the distribution of , the wetness regime and the parameterization used. With the parameterizations, ^Eb showed greater variations than E^v. These results are valid when there are no advective effects or mesoscale circulation patterns and the stratification is unstable.  相似文献   

Flood-borne sediment analysis of the Hoanib River, northwestern Namibia     

K. Leggett  J. Fennessy  S. Schneider 《Journal of Arid Environments》2005,62(4):587-596

The suspended sediment contained in six flood events in the Hoanib River catchment during the wet season of 1999/2000 were analysed for volatile (or low molecular weight) fine particulate organic material (FPOM), higher molecular weight FPOM and the total organic carbon (TOC). Samples were evaporated to dryness at 80 °C, then heated in a high temperature oven to 250, 550 and 850 °C. The results show that the amount of sediment carried during the flood events varied between 1.54 and 31.27 g/L, with an average of 14.62 g/L. The amount of suspended sediment in the flood-waters (2.789–616.359×10⁶ kg) was found to be dependent on the timing and duration of the flood event. The largest percentage of organic material was found in the volatile FPOM fraction (5.77±6.26%), with lesser amounts being found in the higher molecular weight FPOM (3.36±0.62%) and TOC (4.93±1.86%) fractions.  相似文献

测井曲线标定有机碳方法在苏北盆地的应用     

顾红英 《江苏地质》2004,28(3):166-169

测井曲线标定有机碳技术方法是一种不同于传统地球化学测试得到的有机碳方法，它根据烃源岩内有机质的含量在测井曲线上具有一定的特征响应，通过地球物理测井手段鉴别与提取这些特征属性，再利用测井曲线标定的有机碳含量关系式进行计算，从而得到准确的有机碳含量。这种方法既简便易行又准确可靠，与传统地球化学测试得到的有机碳方法具有良好的对应性。通过对苏161井阜四段、苏169井阜三段烃源岩测井标定有机碳含量与实测值的对比性研究，表明在苏北盆地用测井资料计算的有机碳来补充取心资料的不足，从而对该地区地下油气进行分析具有切实的可行性和较好的适用性。  相似文献
