高温高压改色处理Ⅰa型褐色钻石的光谱鉴定特征

Ⅱa型钻石的高温高压改色及褪色研究已开展了大量工作,然而对Ⅰa型Cape系列褐色钻石在高温高压处理条件下的行为尚不明确。为解析实验室钻石鉴定工作中遇到的黄色钻石颜色成因问题,本文选取了Ⅰa型Cape系列褐色钻石作为研究对象,进行高温高压改色处理实验,并对处理前后的样品的紫外可见吸收光谱、红外吸收光谱以及光致发光光谱等谱学特征进行对比分析。结果表明:经高温高压改色处理后,钻石颜色由灰褐色变为褐黄色,钻石的紫外可见吸收光谱、红外吸收光谱和光致发光光谱也发生了很大改变。经处理的褐色钻石,其紫外可见吸收光谱中除原有的415nm和477nm吸收外,还产生503.2nm吸收,同时550nm至短波的吸收增强,钻石因此由原来的灰褐色变为褐黄色;红外吸收光谱中,1498、1520、1547cm~(-1)三个峰变为一个以1498cm~(-1)为中心的吸收宽峰;光致发光光谱中,产生了明显的H3(503.2nm)以及H2(986.2nm)缺陷。本研究获得的光谱变化特征为准确鉴定高温高压改色处理的Cape型钻石提供了依据,也为更好地理解晶格中氮、氢等相关的格子缺陷在高温高压条件下的变化机理提供了实验数据和分析。     

高温高压处理钻石的谱学研究

对高温高压处理钻石进行了显微观察及红外光谱、低温紫外－可见－近红外吸收光谱和光致发光谱等谱学研究，认为钻石的去色是由于高温高压过程引起晶格结构的重组，从而得出天然褐色钻石的致色与位错附近的孤氮－空穴（N－V）的眯缺陷有关的结论。同时也提供了高温高压处理钻石的一些谱学特征，如红外光谱中较弱的3107cm^-1峰，紫外－可见吸收光谱中的325nm宽带，光致发光谱中的575nm与637nm峰。     

Chameleon钻石与其相似黄色钻石光谱学特征的对比分析及颜色成因

Chameleon钻石（俗称“变色龙钻石”）是一种具有光致变色和热致变色现象的彩色钻石,在受热后或长时间在暗室中会由黄绿色变为黄色,在实际工作中发现与Chameleon钻石颜色相似的黄色钻石并不具有此类“变色”现象。为了研究Chameleon钻石与相似黄色钻石的差异,并进一步探究产生光致变色和热致变色现象的原因,本文选取Chameleon钻石和与其颜色相似的黄色钻石作为研究对象,进行加热实验,观察加热前后钻石颜色、紫外可见光吸收光谱的变化情况,探寻导致热致变色的原因,并对样品的红外吸收光谱及光致发光光谱特征进行详细分析与比较。结果表明：Chameleon钻石受热后由黄绿色变为黄色,在超短波紫外线下显示绿色荧光和磷光,相似黄色钻石样品无磷光及变色现象;所有样品均有从紫外光至510nm逐渐减弱的连续吸收和480nm吸收宽带,Chameleon钻石具650～800nm吸收宽带,相似黄色钻石无该吸收带,加热后吸收带消失是其产生热致变色的主要原因;进一步对样品的缺陷类型进行对比分析,Chameleon钻石红外光谱可见孤氮特征及与片晶无关的1430cm-1宽吸收带,该峰未在相似黄色钻石中出现,但产...     

河南产宝石级高温高压合成钻石的谱学特征及电磁性研究

为快速鉴定高温高压(HPHT)合成钻石,前人已开展了系统的发光特征和谱学特征研究,但对比性分析较少,且对电学性质和磁学性质关注不多。本文结合常规宝石学观察、高精度谱学测试以及导电性和磁性测试,对49粒无色、黄色样品进行了深入研究和对比分析。结果表明:①铁、钴、镍等金属元素的触媒残余是HPHT合成钻石的磁性来源,测试样品均能被磁强达到12000Gs的磁棒吸引。②无色HPHT合成钻石为Ⅱa+Ⅱb型钻石,硼元素的存在导致其具有良好的导电能力,且随着硼含量的增多,导电能力逐渐增强;黄色样品为Ⅰb+ⅠaA型钻石,约三分之一的孤氮转化为A集合体,揭示合成钻石在生长完成后经过了高温退火处理。③硼元素的普遍存在,以及氮元素主要以孤氮原子和A集合体的方式存在,导致了HPHT合成钻石的特征红外光谱;HPHT合成钻石中常含有氮、镍、硅等杂质元素引起的晶格缺陷,导致了特征的光致发光光谱。④无色HPHT合成钻石具有强蓝绿色荧光和磷光,黄色HPHT合成钻石具有绿色荧光,可见明显的立方体-八面体分区现象。本研究表明:谱学特征和发光特征仍然是筛查鉴定HPHT合成钻石的重要依据。现生长技术下合成的HPHT合成钻石在导电性和磁性两方面也与天然钻石存在明显差异,可以作为快速鉴定合成钻石的辅助性依据。     

高温高压合成黄色钻石颜色成因及改色机理探讨

为了从动态过程中更直观地研究黄色高温高压合成钻石的颜色成因和改色机理,本文对5颗黄色高温高压合成钻石进行高温高压改色实验,并对样品改色前后的红外光谱、光致发光光谱、DiamondViewTM图像进行了分析,发现受合成方法限制,高温高压法合成钻石所含缺陷较多,除应力缺陷外,还含有较多空穴和杂质元素,如N、Ni等,对合成钻石的品质和颜色有较大影响。同时,通过红外光谱和光致发光光谱测试得到,改色前、后合成钻石样品内的色心包括(N_V)-、(N_V)、H3、C心、(Ni_V)-、Ni_N复合体和Ni-。实验所提供的7 GPa高压及1 480℃高温条件有助于钻石晶体内部氮的聚集,从而改变合成钻石的类型,即由Ⅰb型(含少量A集合体)转变为Ⅰb+ⅠaA混合型,同时对合成钻石的颜色也产生了影响。     

高温高压处理褐色钻石改色机理分析

采用红外光谱仪、拉曼光谱仪对经六面顶压机进行高温高压处理的褐色钻石进行了光谱分析,并在此基础上进行了改色机理分析。结果显示,含有氮杂质的Ⅰa A、Ⅰa AB型钻石样品在5.6 GPa、1 650℃的高温高压环境下,实验时间从30 min开始钻石样品的颜色由褐色改变成鲜艳的黄色,这种现象主要与H3心、H4心、N3心和孤氮有关;样品随着处理时间的增加呈现鲜艳的黄绿色,这种现象主要与H2心、H3心有关。     

无色-近无色高温高压合成钻石的谱图特征及其鉴别方法

实验室发现大量小颗粒的无色高温高压(HPHT)合成钻石与天然钻石混杂镶嵌在各种饰品中,前人提出荧光和磷光特征是主要的快速区分特征,然而荧光、磷光特征的差异并不能完全将HPHT合成钻石与天然钻石区分开来。本文将常规的宝石学观察分析与多种高精度谱学测试相结合,对五粒不同的无色-近无色HPHT合成钻石样品进行深入研究。结果表明,五粒钻石在紫外可见吸收光谱无270 nm吸收或是只有极弱的270 nm吸收,随着颜色级别的降低,270 nm吸收越明显。红外光谱测试显示,各粒样品中都含有不等量的硼元素。光致发光光谱测试表明,HPHT合成钻石含有与微量N、Ni、Si等相关的晶格缺陷。超短波紫外光源激发下,所有的HPHT合成钻石都有强磷光,在钻石观察仪下可以观测到清晰的八面体和立方体分区特征。显然,不同的合成钻石的特征略有差异,但综合其荧光及磷光特征以及红外、紫外、光致发光光谱特征,可以准确地将无色HPHT合成钻石与对应的天然钻石区分开来。     

俄罗斯高温高压处理钻石特征

采用显微观察、红外光谱、可见吸收光谱和低温光致发光谱等分析方法,对9颗俄罗斯高温高压处理钻石样品进行了研究。结果表明,该类钻石样品的内部多见石墨化现象,尤以彩色钻石样品更明显;金黄色、紫红色、黄绿色样品为ⅠaAB型,浅黄色样品为ⅠaB型,近无色样品为Ⅱa型;样品的可见吸收光谱因颜色不同而差异显著,其中金黄色样品可见475 nm处的吸收宽带,紫红色样品可见638,614,595 nm处的吸收峰,黄绿色和浅黄色样品可见415,475,503 nm处的吸收峰,近无色样品则为较光滑的平直曲线。此外,该类样品在低温光致发光谱中可见575 nm与637 nm处强发光峰。这些特征为探讨该类钻石的晶格缺陷与呈色机理提供了一定的科学依据。

采用红外吸收光谱、拉曼光谱、紫外-可见-近红外吸收光谱等无损分析技术,并结合激光诱导击穿光谱和电子探针对澳大利亚孟席斯祖母绿的光谱特征、成分特征和颜色成因进行了研究。红外光谱分析显示孟席斯祖母绿具有[Si_6O_(18)]基团振动特征,其结构孔道中的Ⅱ型水吸收强于Ⅰ型水;拉曼光谱特征峰主要在323 cm、397 cm~(-1)、685 cm~(-1)和1067 cm~(-1),并可检测到142 cm~(-1)和190 cm~(-1)等弱散射峰;紫外-可见-近红外吸收光谱主要由Cr~(3+)、V~(3+)、Fe~(2+)和Fe~(3+)的吸收组成,其中424 nm和611 nm的吸收由Cr~(3+)和V~(3+)联合作用导致,644 nm、661 nm和682 nm的吸收由Cr~(3+)产生。结合Cr_2O_3含量显著高于V_2O_3的化学成分特征,表明孟席斯祖母绿主要由Cr致色。同时将孟席斯祖母绿与云南祖母绿进行对比分析,为孟席斯祖母绿的宝石学鉴定和质量评价提供依据。     

Discovery and Significance of Diamonds and Moissanites in Chromitite within the Skenderbeu Massif of the Mirdita Zone Ophiolite, West Albania

In recent years diamonds and other unusual minerals(carbides,nitrides,metal alloys and native elements) have been recovered from mantle peridotites and chromitites(both high-Cr chromitites and high-Al chromitites) from a number of ophiolites of different ages and tectonic settings.Here we report a similar assemblage of minerals from the Skenderbeu massif of the Mirdita zone ophiolite,west Albania.So far,more than 20 grains of microdiamonds and 30 grains of moissanites(SiC) have been separated from the podiform chromitite.The diamonds are mostly light yellow,transparent,euhedral crystals,200~300 μm across,with a range of morphologies;some are octahedral and cuboctahedron and others are elongate and irregular.Secondary electron images show that some grains have well-developed striatums.All the diamond grains have been analyzed and yielded typical Raman spectra with a shift at ~1325 cm~(-1).The moissanite grains recovered from the Skenderbeu chromitites are mainly light blue to dark blue,but some are yellow to light yeUow.All the analyzed grains have typical Raman spectra with shifts at 766 cm~(-1),787 cm~(-1),and 967 cm~(-1).The energy spectrums of the moissanites confirm that the grains are composed entirely of silicon and carbon.This investigation expands the occurrence of diamonds and moissanites to Mesozoic ophiolites in the Neo-Tethys.Our new findings suggest that diamonds and moissanites are present,and probably ubiquitous in the oceanic mantle and can provide new perspectives and avenues for research on the origin of ophiolites and podiform chromitites.

Raman spectra of polycrystalline microdiamond inclusions in zircons,and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism of a quartzofeldspathic rock from the Erzgebirge terrane,Germany

ABSTRACT

Polycrystalline microdiamonds are rare in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) rocks worldwide. Among samples collected at Erzgebirge, Germany, we found abundant polycrystalline microdiamonds as inclusions in zircons from a quartzofeldspathic rock. To illuminate their origin and forming age, we investigated morphologies and Raman spectra of 52 microdiamond inclusions, and dated the zircon host. The zircons have low Th/U values (0.03–0.07) and a concordia U/Pb age of 335.8 ± 1.9 Ma. Polycrystalline diamond (10–40 µm) consists of many fine-grained crystals (1.5–3 µm) with different orientations; discrete single diamonds (2–20 µm) are rare. All measured Raman spectra show an intense diamond band at 1332–1328 cm^?1 and have a negative correlation with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 5.8–11.3 cm^?1. These data combined with previously reported diamond band data (1331–1337 cm^?1) are compatible with those of diamond inclusions in various host minerals from other UHP terranes, but are different from those of ureilite diamonds. The Erzgebirge microdiamonds in zircon do not display visible disordered sp³-carbon, but show downshifting of the Raman band from the ideal value (1332 cm^?1), and have a broader diamond band (FWHM >3 cm^?1) than those of well-ordered diamonds. These features may reflect imperfect ordering due to rapid nucleation/crystallization during UHP metamorphism and rapid exhumation of the UHP terrane. Graphite inclusions in zircon show a typical G-band at 1587 cm^?1. Our study together with previously reported C-isotopic compositions (δ¹³C, ?17 to ?27‰) of diamond and occurrences of fluid/melt inclusions in diamond and garnet indicates that Erzgebirge microdiamonds are metamorphic, have an organic carbon source, and crystallized from aqueous fluids. Limited long-range ordering suggested by the Raman spectra is a function of the P–T time of crystallization and subsequent thermal annealing on decompression. Combined with regional geology, our work further constrains the tectonic evolution of the Erzgebirge terrane.     

CVD合成钻石的层状生长结构和紫外荧光特征

最近NGTC实验室检测出多批次CVD合成钻石,这些CVD合成钻石均具有明显的鉴定特征,使用钻石观测仪（DiamondViewTM）观察可见蓝色、橙红色荧光和蓝色磷光以及细密层状生长纹理,光致发光光谱中可见737 nm处的特征发光线.这些特征均与其生长结构及生长过程中进入钻石晶体中的杂质有关.笔者以最近检测过程中发现的一颗CVD合成钻石为例,使用高倍率显微技术对其层状结构的微细特征及其在钻石观测仪下的荧光特征的关系进行了详细观察和对比.结果显示,此样品与之前检测到的CVD合成钻石略有差异.此次检测到的样品在钻石观测仪（DiamondViewTM）下观察具有较宽的层状生长分区,层与层之间的分界线十分明显且在高倍显微镜下也可见到细微的生长特征.通过对样品特征的分析,了解了晶体生长过程中多阶段生长条件的变化,更直观的展现了CVD合成钻石的生长过程.

Local environment and valence state of iron in microinclusions in fibrous diamonds: X-ray absorption and Mössbauer data

Iron valence state and local environment in a set of fibrous diamonds from Brazilian and Congolese placers were investigated using X-ray absorption and Mössbauer spectroscopies. It is shown that the diamonds could be divided into two main groups differing in the type of dominant Fe-bearing inclusions. In the first group Fe is mostly trivalent and is present in octahedral coordination; diamonds from the second group contain a mixture of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺, most likely with Fe²⁺ in dodecahedral coordination. A few other diamonds contain iron in a more reduced state: The presence of metallic Fe and Fe₃O₄ is inferred from XAS measurements. Spatially resolved XANES and Mössbauer measurements on polished diamond plates show that in some cases the Fe valence state may change considerably between the core and rim, whereas in other cases Fe speciation and valence remain constant. It is shown that Fe valence does not correlate with water and/or carbonate content or ratio, suggesting that iron is a minor element in the growth medium of fibrous diamonds and plays a passive role. This study suggests that, when present, evolution of the C isotopic composition with diamond growth is largely due to changes in chemistry of the growth medium and not due to variations of f_O2.     

FTIR Spectroscopy Data and Carbon Isotope Characteristics of the Ophiolite‐hosted Diamonds

We report new δ¹³C ‐values data and N‐content and N‐aggregation state values for microdiamonds recovered from peridotites and chromitites of the Luobusa ophiolite (Tibet) and chromitites of the Ray‐Iz ophiolite in the Polar Urals (Russia). All analyzed microdiamonds contain significant nitrogen contents (from 108 up to 589 ± 20% atomic ppm) with a consistently low aggregation state, show identical IR spectra dominated by strong absorption between 1130 cm^?1 and 1344 cm^?1, and hence characterize Type Ib diamond. Microdiamonds from the Luobusa peridotites have δ¹³C ‐PDB‐values ranging from ‐28.7‰ to ‐16.9‰, and N‐contents from 151 to 589 atomic ppm. The δ¹³C and N‐content values for diamonds from the Luobusa chromitites are ‐29‰ to ‐15.5‰ and 152 to 428 atomic ppm, respectively. Microdiamonds from the Ray‐Iz chromitites show values varying from ‐27.6 ‰ to ‐21.6 ‰ in δ¹³C and from 108 to 499 atomic ppm in N. The carbon isotopes values bear similar features with previously analyzed metamorphic diamonds from other worldwide localities, but the samples are characterized by lower N‐contents. In every respect, they are different from diamonds occurring in kimberlites and impact craters. Our samples also differ from the few synthetic diamonds; we also analyzed showing enhanced δ¹³C ‐variability and less advanced aggregation state than synthetic diamonds. Our newly obtained N‐aggregation state and N‐content data are consistent with diamond formation over a narrow and rather cold temperature range (i.e. <950°C), and in a short residence time (i.e. within several million years) at high temperatures in the deep mantle.

Diamond in metasedimentary crustal rocks from Pohorje,Eastern Alps: a window to deep continental subduction

We report the first finding of diamond and moissanite in metasedimentary crustal rocks of Pohorje Mountains (Slovenia) in the Austroalpine ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrane of the Eastern Alps. Microscopic observations and Raman spectroscopy show that diamond occurs in situ as inclusions in garnet, being heterogeneously distributed. Under the optical microscope, diamond‐bearing inclusions are of cuboidal to rounded shape and of pinkish, yellow to brownish colour. The Raman spectra of the investigated diamond show a sharp, first order peak of sp³‐bonded carbon, in most cases centred between 1332 and 1330 cm^?1, with a full width at half maximum between 3 and 5 cm^?1. Several spectra show Raman bands typical for disordered graphitic (sp²‐bonded) carbon. Detailed observations show that diamond occurs either as a monomineralic, single‐crystal inclusion or it is associated with SiC (moissanite), CO₂ and CH₄ in polyphase inclusions_. This rare record of diamond occurring with moissanite as fluid‐inclusion daughter minerals implies the crystallization of diamond and moissanite from a supercritical fluid at reducing conditions. Thermodynamic modelling suggests that diamond‐bearing gneisses attained P–T conditions of ≥3.5 GPa and 800–850 °C, similar to eclogites and garnet peridotites. We argue that diamond formed when carbonaceous sediment underwent UHP metamorphism at mantle depth exceeding 100 km during continental subduction in the Late Cretaceous (c. 95–92 Ma). The finding of diamond confirms UHP metamorphism in the Pohorje Mountains, the most deeply subducted part of Austroalpine units.
