Experimental observations of CaSiO3-CaTiO3 perovskites: implications for Ca-rich inclusions observed in sub-lithospheric diamonds
Calcium perovskite is a major component of deep mantle phase assemblages and has been frequently identified, in retrograde form, as polyphase mineral inclusions within sub-lithospheric diamonds. Here experimental observations of synthetic samples demonstrate various properties of calcium perovskite minerals which have relevance for the interpretation of diamond-hosted inclusions. Ambient pressure diffraction and spectroscopy confirm the linear dependence of crystallographic unit cell volume and Raman peak shifts across the entire CaSiO3-CaTiO3 binary join. These systematics will allow verification of perovskite structure and constraint of inclusion composition, without destructive analyses, in future studies. Additionally, high pressure observations confirm that calcium perovskite minerals ≳ 80 mol.% CaSiO3 undergo spontaneous amorphization during decompression at room temperature, meaning they are unrecoverable. Finally, the presence of water appears to expand the calcium perovskite stability field to lower pressure conditions, implying at least some appreciable water-solubility in these minerals.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. The aim of the journal is to support competent interdisciplinary work in mineralogy and physics or chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. Some subjects of interest are:
-Relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state (structures of various states, crystal energies, crystal growth, thermodynamic studies, phase transformations, solid solution, exsolution phenomena, etc.)
-General solid state spectroscopy (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, Raman, ESCA, luminescence, X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, gamma ray resonance, etc.)
-Experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals (application of crystal field, molecular orbital, band theories, etc.)
-Physical properties (magnetic, mechanical, electric, optical, thermodynamic, etc.)
-Relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems
-Electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies
-Computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals
-Mineral surfaces (experimental methods, structure and properties)
