Abstract: | 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. |
