Abstract
The Murun massif (Aldan shield, Russia) is particularly intriguing due to its group of alkali Ca-(K)-(Na) silicates, which includes many new and rare species. Additionally, it is also of interest for its beryllium mineralization. One of the unique beryllium Ca-(K)-(Na) silicates, odintsovite K2Na4Ca3Ti2Be4Si12O38, was investigated in this study. The aim of this study is to provide new insights into the crystal chemistry and spectroscopic properties of odintsovite. DFT modelling was used to interpret the experimental IR and Raman spectra. Determining the crystal-chemical formula of odintsovite is challenging due to the presence of atoms in different structural positions with varying valence states. The distribution of cations was determined by combining electron probe microanalysis with the results of crystal structure refinement. Luminescence of Eu3+ was observed in odintsovite upon excitation at around 532 nm. Analysis of the luminescence band splitting is related to the 4f–4f transitions in Eu3+ ions. Additionally, upon excitation at around 370 nm, luminescence with a peak at around 410 nm, associated with 5d–4f transitions in Ce3+ ions, was observed.
期刊介绍:
Mineralogy and Petrology welcomes manuscripts from the classical fields of mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, crystallography, as well as their applications in academic experimentation and research, materials science and engineering, for technology, industry, environment, or society. The journal strongly promotes cross-fertilization among Earth-scientific and applied materials-oriented disciplines. Purely descriptive manuscripts on regional topics will not be considered.
Mineralogy and Petrology was founded in 1872 by Gustav Tschermak as "Mineralogische und Petrographische Mittheilungen". It is one of Europe''s oldest geoscience journals. Former editors include outstanding names such as Gustav Tschermak, Friedrich Becke, Felix Machatschki, Josef Zemann, and Eugen F. Stumpfl.
