| Abstract: | Two synthetic pyroxenes (FeSiO3, MgSiO3) and five natural pyroxenes with compositions of about Fs80En20, Fs60En40, Fs50En50, Fs40En60, and Fs20En80 have been subjected to pressures up to250 ± 50kbars at a temperature of about1500 ± 200°C in a diamond anvil cell heated by an infrared laser beam. After quenching and unloading X-ray data analysis indicates that (1) those with Mg less than 50% undergo the following reactions: 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (pyroxene) → (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 (spinel) + SiO2 (stishovite) → 2(Mg,Fe)O (magnesiowu¨stite) + SiO2 (stishovite) with increase of pressure, and (2) those with Mg higher than 60%, undergo the following reactions: 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (pyroxene) → (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 (spinel) + SiO2 (stishovite) → 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (hexagonal phase) → 2(Mg,Fe)O (magnesiowu¨stite) + SiO2 (stishovite) with increase of pressure. |
