Visualization-based analysis of structural and dynamical properties of simulated hydrous silicate meltPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 37 - Trang 103-117 - 2009
Bijaya B. Karki, Dipesh Bhattarai, Mainak Mookherjee, Lars Stixrude
We have explored first-principles molecular dynamics simulation data for hydrous MgSiO3 liquid (with 10 wt% water) to gain insight into its structural and dynamical behavior as a function of pressure (0–150 GPa) and temperature (2,000–6,000 K). By visualizing/analyzing a number of parameters associated with short- and mid-range orders, we have shown that the melt structure changes substantially on...... hiện toàn bộ
Biradical states of oxygen-vacancy defects in α-quartz: centers $$ E_{2}^{\prime \prime } $$ and $$ E_{4}^{\prime \prime } $$Physics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 38 - Trang 647-654 - 2011
Rudolf I. Mashkovtsev, Yuanming Pan
Several new radiation defects with total electron spin S = 1 occurring in electron-irradiated, synthetic α-quartz have been observed by using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. These defects are considered to be biradicals, i.e., pairs of S = 1/2 species. The concentration of these centers depends on the condition of the fast-electron irradiation. They have different decay behaviors tha...... hiện toàn bộ
First-principles-based calculations of the CaCO3–MgCO3 and CdCO3–MgCO3 subsolidus phase diagramsPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 30 - Trang 88-97 - 2003
B. P. Burton, A. Van de Walle
Planewave pseudopotential calculations of supercell total energies were used as bases for first-principles calculations of the CaCO3–MgCO3 and CdCO3–MgCO3 phase diagrams. Calculated phase diagrams are in qualitative to semiquantitative agreement with experiment. Two unobserved phases, Cd3Mg (CO3)4 and CdMg3(CO3)4, are predicted. No new phases are predicted in the CaCO3–MgCO3 system, but a low-lyi...... hiện toàn bộ
Mössbauer investigation of niningerite solid solutions (Mg,Fe)SPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 10 - Trang 245-249 - 1984
Margery D. Osborne, Michael E. Fleet
57Fe Mössbauer spectra of (Mg,Fe)S solid solutions (niningerite) quenched from 1,000° C exhibit a singlet only within the composition range 8.4 to 50.0 mol. percent FeS. The isomer shift decreases progressively with increasing FeS content (from 0.99 to 0.95 mm/s) and extrapolates to a value of about 0.9 mm/s for FeS (halite structure), in close agreement with the isomer shift for FeS (troilite). ...... hiện toàn bộ
Low-temperature evolution of OH bands in synthetic forsterite, implication for the nature of H defects at high pressurePhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 40 - Trang 499-510 - 2013
J. Ingrin, J. Liu, C. Depecker, S. C. Kohn, E. Balan, K. J. Grant
We performed in situ infrared spectroscopic measurements of OH bands in a forsterite single crystal between −194 and 200 °C. The crystal was synthesized at 2 GPa from a cooling experiment performed between 1,400 and 1,275 °C at a rate of 1 °C per hour under high silica-activity conditions. Twenty-four individual bands were identified at low temperature. Three different groups can be distinguished:...... hiện toàn bộ
Static compression of α-Fe2O3: linear incompressibility of lattice parameters and high-pressure transformationsPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 30 - Trang 582-588 - 2003
H. Liu , W. A. Caldwell, L. R. Benedetti, W. Panero, R. Jeanloz
The high-pressure behavior of α-Fe2O3 has been studied under static compression up to 60 GPa, using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Synchrotron-based angular-dispersive X-ray diffraction shows that the sample remains in the corundum structure up to 50 GPa, but with the appearance of coexisting diffraction lines from a high-pressure phase at pressures above 45 GPa. A least-squares fit of low-pre...... hiện toàn bộ
A vibrational study of phase transitions among the GeO2 polymorphsPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 18 - Trang 7-18 - 1991
M. Madon, Ph. Gillet, Ch. Julien, G. D. Price
Infrared and Raman spectra of the quartz, rutile and amorphous forms of GeO2 have been recorded under pressure and/or temperature, in order to study the crystalline to crystalline — or amorphous — transformations of this compound in the solid state. X-ray diffraction data shown that crystalline quartz-GeO2 subjected to high pressure amorphizes. Infrared data are consistent with a gradual amorphisa...... hiện toàn bộ
Heat transfer in quartz, orthoclase, and sanidine at elevated temperaturePhysics and Chemistry of Minerals - Tập 29 Số 9 - Trang 571-584 - 2002
Höfer, M., R., F.
The thermal diffusivity of quartz, orthoclase, and sanidine was measured in different directions by a transient method, to determine the second-rank tensor of thermal transport properties as a function of temperature up to 800 °C. Thermal diffusivity of phonons is described as D=1/3 v l, where v is the phonon velocity and l the mean free path length of phonons. In quartz the thermal diffusivity a...... hiện toàn bộ
