Peak intensities and shapes are very similar for spectra collected in blue and white bands. Accordingly, trace-element composition from laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry confirmed that the two regions have similar Fe content. The perceived changes in band colours are indeed originated by differences in microstructural arrangement and size of the grains visualised through scanning electron microscopy. White and blue stripes have grains of about 5 µm and 300 nm in size, respectively, resulting in an accentuated scattering component for the white bands.

As Mg diffusion in forsterite can influence its electrical conductivity, understanding this process is important. In this study we use density functional theory to predict the diffusivity of H-bearing Mg vacancies and we find that they are around 1000 times slower than H-free Mg vacancies. H-bearing Mg vacancies are many orders of magnitude more concentrated than H-free Mg vacancies, however, and diffusion is a combination of diffusivity and defect concentration. Overall, the presence of hydrated Mg vacancies is predicted to cause a large (multiple orders of magnitude) increase in both diffusion rate and diffusional anisotropy with a strong preference for diffusion in the [001] direction predicted. In models of experimental data, the effect of water concentration on diffusion is often described by a constant best-fitting exponent. Our results suggest that this exponent will vary between 0.5 and 1.6 across common experimental conditions with pressure decreasing and temperature increasing this exponent. These results suggest that Mg diffusion in forsterite could vary considerably throughout upper mantle conditions in ways that cannot be captured with a simple single-exponent model. Comparisons to measures of hydrogen diffusivity suggest that the diffusion of hydrated Mg vacancies also controls the diffusion of hydrogen in (iron-free) forsterite and that our conclusions above also apply to hydrogen diffusion rates and anisotropy. We also find that cation diffusivity likely cannot explain experimental measurements of the effect of water on electrical conductivity in olivine.</div>","PeriodicalId":20132,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of Minerals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48100504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process is predicated on the fact that events originating from a common source region will traverse similar ray paths from the source to the receiver and display similar waveforms in seismograms. This implies their travel-time difference results only from their spatial offset and any velocity heterogeneity along the ray path is negated. To demonstrate the efficacy of this approach we applied it to a transformational faulting experiment on the isostructural olivine analogue Mg2GeO4 under controlled deformation at 2.5 GPa and 700 °C while simultaneously monitoring stress, strain, and acoustic activity. Waveforms from all 1456 AE events were cross-correlated to measure differential arrival times and construct multiplet groups of similar events. In total, 110 multiplets were identified whose size is dominated by two large groups containing 272 and 202 events. Relocation of these two multiplets using the double-difference method significantly reduces event separation and improves location uncertainty by more than an order of magnitude when compared to absolute location techniques whose uncertainty rivals that of the sample size. In particular, event locations of the two largest multiplets reveal two dense clusters whose spatial geometry closely mirrors that of macroscopic faulting displayed in computerized tomography images of the recovered sample. In this way, we are able to link specific faults with their associated AE events, which would otherwise not be possible using traditional absolute location methods.</div>","PeriodicalId":20132,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of Minerals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00269-022-01203-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4254258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there remains a gap in the understanding between the atomic-scale annealing mechanism of latent (unetched) fission tracks and the observations of etched tracks at the micrometer scale. This is because the structure of latent fission tracks is lost during the leaching process. We have conducted the first comparison of the thermal-annealing behavior of latent and etched tracks in epidote, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and optical microscopy, respectively. For high-resolution TEM observations, we used ion tracks instead of fission tracks to control the density of tracks, and we demonstrated that latent ion tracks are amorphous in epidote. The reduction in diameters of latent tracks is insignificant after thermal annealing at 800 °C for 24 h, indicating that the track diameter does not appear to change substantially until the final stage of annealing. The optical observations show that the parallel etched ion-induced tracks have a lower track density reduction rate at or below 500 °C and an accelerated reduction rate above 500 °C as compared with randomly oriented fission tracks. However, the two types of tracks display a comparable thermal-annealing behavior as evidenced by the fit of the two curves for the normalized density of ion and fission tracks as a function of temperature with the same equation but with different fitting parameters. Thus, ion-induced tracks can be used to simulate fission tracks in epidote and provide a basis for understanding the annealing of latent and etched tracks.</div>","PeriodicalId":20132,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of Minerals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00269-022-01200-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5118509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
