Abstract
Abstract. A natural sample of Fe-bearing paramontroseite
(V0.84Fe0.19Al0.03O2; a = 4.8960(14), b = 9.395(3),
c = 2.9163(5) Å, V = 134.14(6) Å3; space group Pbnm) from
Prachovice mine (Czech Republic) was investigated to shed light on cation
partitioning and behavior upon heating. XRD experiments showed that V and Fe
are not vicariant of one another, as V occupies the octahedral site at (0.09, 0.14, 0.25), whereas Fe enters a tetrahedral site at (0.41, 0.06, 0.25), the
latter expected to be empty in the ideal structure. Thermal expansion is
anisotropic, leading to the following β coefficients: -2.0×10-5, 3.0×10-5, 0.8×10-5 and
1.8×10-5 ∘C−1 for a, b, c and V,
respectively. At T higher than 350 ∘C, V undergoes oxidation, from
[4+] to [5+], and paramontroseite decomposes into Fe-tetrapolyvanadate
(Fe2V4O13) and V-pentoxide (V2O5). µ-Raman
spectroscopy analyses confirmed that paramontroseite is sensitive to heating:
the crystal surface invested by the laser beam degrades very quickly,
leading to the phases revealed by diffraction measurements. There is no
evidence for the formation at high T of a rutile-type phase, as we observed
for iso-structural ramsdellite MnO2.
期刊介绍:
EJM was founded to reach a large audience on an international scale and also for achieving closer cooperation of European countries in the publication of scientific results. The founding societies have set themselves the task of publishing a journal of the highest standard open to all scientists performing mineralogical research in the widest sense of the term, all over the world. Contributions will therefore be published primarily in English.
EJM publishes original papers, review articles and letters dealing with the mineralogical sciences s.l., primarily mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, crystallography and ore deposits, but also biomineralogy, environmental, applied and technical mineralogy. Nevertheless, papers in any related field, including cultural heritage, will be considered.
