高压下多硅白云母的拉曼光谱学研究

在金刚石压腔中，通过原位拉曼光谱研究了多硅白云母在常温高压下的稳定性。实验获得了多硅白云母从常压到20GPa的拉曼光谱数据，研究了多硅白云母的266、708和3618cm^-1叫谱峰与压力的相关性。研究发现，多硅白云母的708cm^-1叫谱峰随压力增加有规律地向高频方向偏移，与压力的增加呈明显的正相关性，即y（拉曼位移，cm^-1）=0．5238x（压力，GPa）＋712．31，相关系数R^2=0．9656，并且该谱峰在压力4．7GPa时消失，这可能与多硅白云母中的Si、Al替代有关。羟基3618cm^-1谱峰则随压力增加向低频方向移动，谱峰的降低与压力的增加呈明显的线性关系变化（y=-0．3402X＋3617．8，R^2=0．9662），并且强度随着压力的增加也在逐渐减弱，在压力达18GPa时开始消失，推测该压力可能为多硅白云母在常温下脱羟基的极限压力。     

High-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of chondrodite

Variation of Raman spectra of both natural (F-bearing) and synthetic (F-free) chondrodite samples were studied up to 400 kbar at room temperature. Ambient Raman frequencies for the synthetic sample are in general lower than those for the natural one. This is correlated with a slight expansion of the volume of the synthetic sample due to substitution of OH for F. The frequencies of all Raman bands for both samples increase monotonically with increasing pressure. The positive pressure dependences in the O−H stretch frequencies for both F-free and F-bearing samples are contrary to those for other dense hydrous magnesium silicates. A mechanism involving both the hydrogen-hydrogen repulsion and hydrogen bondings is proposed to explain the abnormal behavior. The effects of substitution of F for OH on both the ambient and high-pressure Raman spectra of chondrodite are also discussed. Received: 19 February 1998 / Revised accepted: 26 June 1998     

An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study of shock-loaded quartz

X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) for the Si 2p and O 1s signals of quartz recovered after shock-loading at pressures up to 55 GPa revealed the presence of stishovite in the pressure region between 10 and 34 GPa. The stishovite binding energy for both the Si 2p and O 1s is found to be independent of the shock stress level from which it is recovered. Moreover, the binding energy values obtained from 0.5 mm thick samples shocked in the laboratory for times of ca. 1 μs are equal, within experimental uncertainty, to stishovite produced by the Ries impact event. Variations of binding energies observed for the other phases (residual quartz and glass formed simultaneously with or by decomposition of stishovite) are discussed in the framework of previous results obtained by other methods such as X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Although unequivocal interpretation of the variation in binding energy with exposure to different shock pressure is not always possible, the XPS method proves to be very well suited for recognition of high pressure phases and for distinction of pressure regions dominated by various shock or post-shock events.     

Studies on the lattice distortion and substructures of shocked lamellae in naturally shocked quartz

One unshocked and 9 naturally shocked single quartz crystal grains with 1–6 sets of shock lamellae from the Ries, West Germany, and the Lake Lappajärvi, Finland, covering a range from unshocked quartz withNo = 1.544 to nearly completely glassy quartz withNo = 1.461 have been used for X-ray precession and Laue investigations. Four of the shocked grains have preliminarily been studied under a transmission electron microscope. It is found that quartz havingNo less than 1.539 shows intensive anisotropic cell expansion and lattice disordering which gradually increase asNo decreases. Shock-induced lattice distortion of quartz is clearly shown on both precession and Laue photographs. For the weakly shocked quartz (p < 200 kb) slight to pronounced spreading of spots is observed. When the pressure reaches 200 kb, both concentric spreading of spots having long ‘tails’ and concentric rings (powder pattern) are revealed on the same photograph, which means that besides a part of single crystal there also exist randomly oriented tiny ‘fragments’ of quartz in this shocked quartz grain. As pressure increases from 230 to 315 kb, more and more crystalline puases in the quartz grains have transformed from solid state into silica glass, and the concentric rings and the long ‘tails’ disappear and the spot spreading becomes slight again, but reflection intensities become much lower in comparison with those of weakly shocked quartz. TEM investigations show three kinds of substructures of shock lamellae. The glass contents of two of the four grains (73% and 84% respectively) were measured on TEM photographs with the help of an image analysis system. On the basis of above investigations a six-terminal-state model for the mechanism of deformation in shock metamorphosed quartz is presented.     

A Raman spectroscopic study of shock-wave densification of vitreous silica

The densification processes in SiO₂ glass induced by shock-wave compression up to 43.4 GPa are investigated by Raman spectroscopy. At first, densification increases with increasing shock pressure. A maximum densification of 11% is obtained for a shock pressure of 26.3 GPa. This densification is attributed to the reduction of the average Si−O−Si angle, which occurs first by the collapse of the largest ring cavities, then by further reduction of the average ring size. For higher shock pressures, a different structural modification is observed, resulting in decreasing densification with increasing shock pressure. Indeed, the recovered densification becomes very small, with values of 1.8 and 0.5% at 32 and 43.4 GPa, respectively. This is attributed to partial annealing of the samples due to high after shock residual temperatures. The study of the annealing process of the most densified glass by in situ high temperature Raman spectroscopy confirms that relaxation of the Si−O−Si angle starts at a lower temperature (about 800 K) than that of the siloxane rings (about 1000 K), thus explaining the high intensity of the siloxane defect bands in the samples schocked at compressions of 32 and 43.4 GPa. The large intensity of the siloxane bands in the nearly undensified samples shocked by compressions above 30 GPa may be explained by the relaxation during decompression of five- and six-fold coordinated silicon species formed at high pressure and high temperature during the shock event.

Fe2N-type SiO2 from shocked quartz

The modified niccolite structure (Fe₂N-type) of SiO₂, previously found in diamond anvil experiments at 35 to 40 GPa, was formed in a porous mixture of crystalline α-quartz and copper powder at shock pressures estimated at 12 to 27 GPa. It is suggested that quartz can invert during shock compression not only to coesite, stishovite and an amorphous or glass phase of silica, but also to Fe₂N-type SiO₂, depending upon the shock history.     

A high-temperature and high-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of CaGeO3 garnet

 High-pressure and high-temperature Raman spectra of CaGeO₃ tetragonal garnet have been collected to 11.5 GPa and 1225 K, respectively, in order to investigate possible intrinsic anharmonic behaviour in this phase. The Raman peak positions were observed to vary linearly with pressure and temperature within the ranges studied, with the higher-energy peaks showing larger P- and T-induced shifts than the low energy modes. The observed T-induced shifts are similar to those reported for grossular and andradite, while the observed P-induced shifts are generally larger than those of aluminosilicate and MgSiO₃ majorite garnets (Gillet et al. 1992; Rauch et al. 1996) due to the larger bulk modulus of CaGeO₃ garnet. The observed mode shifts of CaGeO₃ garnet were used to determine the isothermal and isobaric mode Grüneisen parameters for this phase. These parameters are similar in value to those reported previously for grossular and andradite (Gillet et al. 1992). The calculated intrinsic anharmonic parameters, a _i , for CaGeO₃ garnet were determined to be nonzero, indicating significant anharmonic behaviour for this phase. These values, which range from −3.8 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ to −1.3 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹, are also similar to those reported for andradite and grossular, but smaller than those determined for pyrope (Gillet et al. 1992). Hence, we expect MgSiO₃ majorite to show greater anharmonicity than the germanate analogue studied by us. The anharmonic parameters determined for CaGeO₃ tetragonal garnet may now be introduced into quasiharmonic vibrational heat capacity models to account for the observed anharmonic behaviour.

High-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of Co- and Ni-olivines

 The Raman spectra of synthetic α-Co₂SiO₄ and α-Ni₂SiO₄ olivines have been studied at room temperature and various pressures. All the Raman frequencies of the two olivines increase with increasing pressure, and most of the frequency–pressure plots obtained under both quasi- and nonhydrostatic conditions are nonlinear. It has been found that the average pressure derivative of Raman frequencies of the lattice modes in both Co- and Ni-olivines is smaller than that of the internal modes of SiO₄, indicating that the distortion of SiO₄ tetrahedra under static compression may be more severe than that of MO₆ octahedra. In addition, four new Raman bands were observed in Ni-olivine under nonhydrostatic compression and above 30 GPa. This result suggests that a new phase of Ni-olivine should be formed at 30 GPa or amorphization may occur at still higher pressure. Received: 11 July 2000 / Accepted: 19 December 2000     

Raman spectroscopic study of high-pressure phase transitions in cristobalite

The pressure dependence of the cristobalite Raman spectrum has been investigated to 22 GPa at room temperature, using single-crystal Raman spectroscopy with a diamond-anvil cell. We observe a rapid, first-order phase transition on increasing pressure, consistent with the cristobalite I?II transition revealed in previous x-ray diffraction experiments. The phase transition has been bracketed at 1.2±0.1 GPa on increasing pressure and 0.2±0.1 GPa on decreasing pressure. The pressure shifts II) of 11 Raman bands in the high-pressure phase (cristobalite have been measured. Evidence for an unusual hybridization of modes at 490–500 cm^?1 is found. Changes in the Raman spectra also reveal an additional phase transition to a new phase at P ≈ 11 GPa, which remains to be fully characterized.     

High-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite

Raman spectra of monoclinic Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite with 2.4 wt% H₂O have been measured in a diamond-anvil cell with helium as a pressure-transmitting medium to 58.4 GPa at room temperature. The most intense, characteristic wadsleyite modes, the Si–O–Si symmetric stretch at 721 cm⁻¹ and the symmetric stretch of the SiO₃ unit at 918 cm⁻¹, shift continuously to 58.4 GPa showing no evidence of a first order change in the crystal structure despite compression well beyond the stability field of wadsleyite in terms of pressure. The pressure dependence of these two modes is nearly identical for Fo₉₀ hydrous and Fo₁₀₀ anhydrous wadsleyite. A striking feature in the high-pressure Raman spectra of Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite is the appearance of new Raman modes above 9 GPa in the mid-frequency range (300–650 cm⁻¹ at 1-bar and shifted to 500–850 cm⁻¹ at 58.4 GPa) accompanied by a significant growth in their intensities under further compression. In the OH stretching frequency range Fo₉₀ hydrous wadsleyite exhibits a larger number of modes than the Mg end-member phase. The higher number of modes may be due to either additional protonation sites or simply that we observe a different subset of all possible OH modes for each sample. The high-pressure behaviour of the OH stretching modes of Fo₉₀ and Fo₁₀₀ hydrous wadsleyite is consistent: OH stretching modes with frequencies <3,530 cm⁻¹ decrease with increasing pressure whereas the higher-frequency OH modes show a close to constant pressure dependence to at least 13.2 GPa. The approximately constant pressure dependence of the OH modes above 3,530 cm⁻¹ is consistent with protons being located at the O1···O edges around M3.     

A Raman spectroscopic study of H/D isotopically substituted hydrous aluminosilicate glasses

We have obtained high quality Raman spectra for two H/D isotopically substituted hydrous aluminosilicate glasses with compositions along the NaAlSi₃O₈-SiO₂ join. Consistent with the results of previous studies, the isotope shift for the band near 900 cm^–1, whose intensity grows with increasing water content, is extremely small: v _h /v _d = 1.004 ± 0.004. The lack of a definite H/D isotope shift for this band does not, however, preclude its association with a vibration of a hydrous species in the glass, because of likely strong coupling between different vibrational modes of hydrated framework species. The 900 cm^–1 band could well be due to a T — OH (T = Si, Al) stretching or bending vibration in the hydrous glass, as required by the presence of a combination band near 4500 cm^–1 in near-infrared spectra.     

Raman spectroscopic study of K-lingunite at various pressures and temperatures

K-lingunite is a high-pressure modification of K-feldspar that possesses the tetragonal hollandite structure. Variations of the Raman spectra of K-lingunite were studied up to ~31.5 GPa at room temperature, and in the range 79–823 K at atmospheric pressure. The Raman frequencies of all bands were observed to increase with increasing pressure, and decrease with increasing temperature for K-lingunite. This behavior is in line with those observed for most of other materials. New sharp Raman bands appear at pressures greater than 13–15 GPa, suggesting a phase transition in K-lingunite with increasing pressure. The transition is reversible when pressure was released. The appearance of these new Raman bands may correspond to the phase transition revealed earlier at around 20 GPa by X-ray diffraction studies. Instead of transforming back to its stable minerals, such as orthoclase, microcline or sanidine, K-lingunite became amorphous in the temperature range 803–823 K at atmospheric pressure.     

High-pressure behaviour of serpentine minerals: a Raman spectroscopic study

Four main serpentine varieties can be distinguished on the basis of their microstructures, i.e. lizardite, antigorite, chrysotile and polygonal serpentine. Among these, antigorite is the variety stable under high pressure. In order to understand the structural response of these varieties to pressure, we studied well-characterized serpentine samples by in situ Raman spectroscopy up to 10 GPa, in a diamond-anvil cell. All serpentine varieties can be metastably compressed up to 10 GPa at room temperature without the occurrence of phase transition or amorphization. All spectroscopic pressure-induced changes are fully reversible upon decompression. The vibrational frequencies of antigorite have a slightly larger pressure dependence than those of the other varieties. The O–H-stretching modes of the four varieties have a positive pressure dependence, which indicates that there is no enhancement of hydrogen bonding in serpentine minerals at high pressure. Serpentine minerals display two types of hydroxyl groups in the structure: inner OH groups lie at the centre of each six-fold ring while outer OH groups are considered to link the octahedral sheet of a given 1:1 layer to the tetrahedral sheet of the adjacent 1:1 layer. On the basis of the contrasting behaviour of the Raman bands as a function of pressure, we propose a new assignment of the OH-stretching bands. The strongly pressure-dependent modes are assigned to the vibrations of the outer hydroxyl groups, the less pressure-sensitive peaks to the inner ones.     

Raman spectroscopic study of hydroxyl-clinohumite at various pressures and temperatures

 Variations of Raman spectra of hydroxyl-clinohumite were studied up to ∼370 kbar at room temperature, and in the range 81–873 K at atmospheric pressure. With the exception of the symmetric OH-stretch bands, the Raman frequencies of all bands were observed to increase monotonically with increasing pressure, and decrease with increasing temperature. This behavior is in line with those observed for other humite members (norbergite and chondrodite) so far studied. The symmetric OH-stretching band shows a mode softening with increasing pressure, and splits into two bands at either high pressure or low temperature. In the quasihydrostatic experiment, the compression and decompression paths of one of the asymmetric OH-stretch bands form a hysteresis loop, but the same behavior was not observed in the nonhydrostatic experiment. These results indicate that the two kinds of OH groups in hydroxyl-clinohumite have nonequivalent movement paths on compression, and with one OH group experiencing a release of spatial hindrance during compression. This behavior appears to be modified by shear stress. The same complication of the OH groups was not observed in the temperature variation study. The pressure and temperature variations of the Raman frequencies for the various vibrations involving the SiO₄ tetrahedra and MgO₆ octahedra below ∼1000 cm⁻¹ for clinohumite behave similarly to other hydrous magnesium silicates. On the basis of the relationship between isothermal bulk modulus and Raman data, it is suggested that the linear pressure dependences of vibrational frequencies of various Raman bands reported in the literature are inadequate.

A temperature-dependent single-crystal Raman spectroscopic study of fayalite: evidence for phonon-magnetic excitation coupling

The polarized single-crystal Raman spectrum of synthetic fayalite, Fe₂SiO₄, was recorded between 5 and 773 K in order to investigate its lattice dynamic behavior. A broad absorption envelope is observed at wavenumbers between 800 and 960 cm^–1 and it contains two intense bands at 816 and 840 cm^–1 at 293 K in the (cc) spectrum. The integral area of the envelope decreases upon cooling from 293 K and reaches a minimum around 55 K. It then increases again with a further decrease in temperature down to 5 K. It is proposed that the envelope in the (cc) spectra consists of seven different modes, some of which are symmetry-forbidden, that arise from combination scattering of nonsymmetric internal SiO₄-stretching modes of B_ig symmetry (i = 1, 2, 3) and low-energy excitations. The individual modes can be observed under different polarizations and agree in number and wavenumber with those obtained by fitting the broad envelope with Lorentzians. An analysis of the Raman spectrum as a function of temperature, using the known magnetic properties of fayalite, allows the assignment of the low-energy excitations to short-range magnetic interactions. Modulation of the Fe²⁺(1)–Fe²⁺(2) exchange energy leads to phonon-magnetic excitation coupling and the main role in the Fe²⁺(1)–Fe²⁺(2) magnetic interaction occurs via superexchange through the oxygens. The magnetic excitations are not magnons in the usual sense, that is as quasiparticles having a long wavelength in an ordered system. The degree of observed broadening of the SiO₄-stretching modes is consonant with a Fe²⁺(1)–Fe²⁺(2) exchange energy of 4.7 cm^–1 presented by Schmidt et al. (1992). At temperatures above 300 K the line width of the mode at 840 cm^–1 decreases slightly, whereas those of low energy lattice modes increase. This suggests that a decrease in mode broadening due to weakened magnetic interactions compensates any thermally related broadening. Complete Fe²⁺ spin disorder may not be reached until at least 530 K. Results from this study show that estimates of third-law entropies for silicates using simple crystal-chemical considerations that do not account for magnetic properties cannot give accurate values for many transition-metal-containing phases.     

Pressure-induced structural modifications in Mg2GeO4-olivine: A Raman spectroscopic study

Raman spectra of Mg₂GeO₄-olivine were obtained from ambient pressure up to 34 GPa at ambient temperature. Under quasi-hydrostatic pressure conditions, the following modifications in the Raman spectra occur as pressure increases: 1) near 11 GPa, two sharp extra bands appear in the 600–700 cm^?1 frequency range, and increase in intensity with respect to the olivine bands; 2) above 22 GPa, these two bands become very intense, and the number, position and relative intensity of the other vibrational bands drastically change; 3) the intensity of sharp bands progressively decreases above 25 GPa. The transformation occurs at lower pressures under non-hydrostatic conditions. During decompression to atmospheric pressure, the high-pressure phase partially reverts to olivine. These observations can be interpreted as the progressive metastable transformation from the olivine structure to a crystalline phase with four-fold coordinated Ge, in which the GeO₄ tetrahedra are polymerized. We propose that the metastable high-pressure phase is a structurally disordered spinelloid close to the hypothethical ω- or ?^*-phase, and forms by a shear mechanism assisted by the development of a dynamical instability in the olivine structure. Implications for the transformations undergone by olivines under far-from-equilibrium conditions (e.g. in subducting lithospheric slabs and in shocks) are discussed.     

Sulfates on Mars: A systematic Raman spectroscopic study of hydration states of magnesium sulfates

The martian orbital and landed surface missions, OMEGA on Mar Express and the two Mars Explorations Rovers, respectively, have yielded evidence pointing to the presence of magnesium sulfates on the martian surface. In situ identification of the hydration states of magnesium sulfates, as well as the hydration states of other Ca- and Fe- sulfates, will be crucial in future landed missions on Mars in order to advance our knowledge of the hydrologic history of Mars as well as the potential for hosting life on Mars. Raman spectroscopy is a technique well-suited for landed missions on the martian surface. In this paper, we report a systematic study of the Raman spectra of the hydrates of magnesium sulfate. Characteristic and distinct Raman spectral patterns were observed for each of the 11 distinct hydrates of magnesium sulfates, crystalline and non-crystalline. The unique Raman spectral features along with the general tendency of the shift of the position of the sulfate ν₁ band towards higher wavenumbers with a decrease in the degree of hydration allow in situ identification of these hydrated magnesium sulfates from the raw Raman spectra of mixtures. Using these Raman spectral features, we have started the study of the stability field of hydrated magnesium sulfates and the pathways of their transformations at various temperature and relative humidity conditions. In particular we report on the Raman spectrum of an amorphous hydrate of magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄·2H₂O) that may have specific relevance for the martian surface.     

An infrared and Raman spectroscopic study of gypsum at high pressures

 We present Raman and infrared spectra of gypsum to 21 GPa at 300 K. Our measurements encompass the internal modes of the (SO₄)⁻⁴ group that lie between 400 and 1150 cm⁻¹, hydroxyl-stretching vibrations between 3200 and 3600 cm⁻¹, and a libration and bending vibrations of the molecular H₂O group. All vibrations of the sulfate group have positive pressure shifts, while the hydroxyl-stretching and -bending vibrations have a mixture of positive and negative pressure shifts: the effect of pressure on the hydrogen bonding of the water molecule thus appears to be complex. Near 5 GPa, the two infrared-active bending vibrations of the water molecule coalesce, and the morphology of the hydroxyl-stretching region of the spectrum shifts dramatically. This behavior is consistent with a pressure-induced phase transition in gypsum in the vicinity of 5–6 GPa, which is observed to be reversible on decompression to zero pressure. The spectral observations are consistent with the onset of increased disorder in the position of the water molecule in gypsum: the sulfate vibrations are largely unaffected by this transition. The Raman-active symmetric stretch of the sulfate group undergoes an apparent splitting near 4 GPa, which is interpreted to be produced by Fermi resonance with an overtone of the symmetric bending vibration. The average mode Grüneisen parameter of the 20 vibrational modes we sample is less than 0.05, in contrast to the bulk thermal Grüneisen parameter of 1.20. Accordingly, the vibrations of both water and sulfate units within gypsum are highly insensitive to volumetric compaction. Therefore, in spite of the changes in the bonding of the water unit near 5 GPa, metastably compressed gypsum maintains strongly bound molecular-like units to over 20 GPa at 300 K.

Raman spectroscopic study of PbCO3 at high pressures and temperatures

Cerussite (PbCO₃) has been investigated by high-pressure and high-temperature Raman spectroscopy up to pressures of 17.2 GPa and temperatures of 723 K. Two pressure induced phase transitions were observed at about 8.0(2) and 16.0(2) GPa, respectively. The post-aragonite transition (PbCO₃-II) at 8.0(2) GPa is accompanied by softening of the v ₂-out-of-plane mode of the CO ₃ ^2? group and disappearance of the B_1g (v ₄-in-plane band of the CO ₃ ^2? group) mode. Stronger shifts of the carbonate group modes after the phase transition suggest that the new structure is more compressible. The formation of a second high-pressure polymorph begins at about 10 GPa. It is accompanied by the occurrence of three new bands at different pressures and splitting of the v ₁-symmetric C–O stretching mode of the CO ₃ ^2? group. The transitions are reversible on pressure release. A semi-quantitative phase diagram for PbCO₃ as a function of pressure and temperature is proposed.
