The crystal size distributions (CSDs) of plagioclase and amphibolewere determined from andesites of the Soufrière Hillsvolcano, Montserrat. Plagioclase occurs as separate crystalsand as chadocrysts in large amphibole oikocrysts. The chadocrystsrepresent an earlier stage of textural development, preservedby growth of the oikocryst. Seventeen rock and eight chadocrystplagioclase CSDs are considered together as a series of samplesof textural development. All are curved, concave up, and coincident,differing only in their maximum crystal size. Three amphiboleCSDs have a similar shape and behaviour, but at a differentposition from the plagioclase CSDs. A dynamic model is proposedfor the origin of textures in these rocks. Crystallization ofplagioclase started following emplacement of andesite magmaat a depth of at least 5 km. A steep, straight CSD developedby nucleation and growth. This process was interrupted by theinjection of mafic magma into the chamber, or convective overturnof hotter magma. The magma temperature rose until it was buffered,initially by plagioclase solution and later by crystallization.During this period textural coarsening (Ostwald ripening) ofplagioclase and amphibole occurred: small crystals dissolvedsimultaneously with the growth of large crystals. The CSD becameless steep and extended to larger crystal sizes. Early stagesof this process are preserved in coarsened amphibole oikocrysts.Repetitions of this cycle generated the observed family of CSDs.Textural coarsening followed the Communicating Neighboursmodel. Hence, each crystal has its own, unique growthsolutionhistory, without appealing to mixing of magmas that crystallizedin different environments.

Crystal size distributions (CSD) and shapes of accessory apatite,titanite and allanite are investigated in three texturally distinctgarnet zones (Z1Z3) and in the matrix (Z4) of a garnetepidotebiotitegneiss from the Moine Supergroup. Additionally, textural relationshipsand interactions between the accessory minerals and surroundingrock-forming minerals are considered, results of numerical CSDmodelling are presented, and geochronological and geologicalconsequences of the inferred CSD evolutions are discussed. Texturesand CSDs indicate that the accessory minerals were in, or near,a stage of nucleation and initial growth immediately prior togarnet Z1 overgrowth, and formed within less than 20 000 years,either by a size-independent or size-dependent growth mechanism.Subsequently, the CSDs were modified by different growth mechanisms,as supported by several parameters including CSDs, grain numbers,grain sizes, specific volumes and others. The apatite CSD evolutionfrom Z1 to Z4 is consistent with open-system LPE (Law of ProportionateEffects) growth accompanied and followed by supply controlledrandom ripening, whereas transformation of the original titaniteCSD is more consistent with Ostwald ripening, temporarily accompaniedby positive or negative McCabe growth. The allanite CSDs alsopoint to Ostwald ripening between Z3 and Z4. The textural observationsindicate that the growth evolution of the accessory phases wasinfluenced by mineral reactions with surrounding rock-formingminerals, as well as by deformation and matrix coarsening, ina manner similar to that found in more simple ceramic systems.The observed textures require a successive temperature risethroughout the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the investigatedrock, in agreement with existing PT data. Fast nucleationand initial growth of the accessory minerals during Z1 was perhapsinitiated by contact metamorphism, whereas subsequent growthand annealing (Z2Z4) result from regional metamorphicevents.

This paper presents a theoretical formulation of Ostwald ripening of garnet and discusses the importance of the process during
high pressure and low temperature (high P/T) metamorphism. The growth rate of garnet due to Ostwald ripening is formulated for the system consisting of minerals and
an intergranular medium. Crystal size distribution (CSD) of garnets are examined and compared with the theoretical distribution
for Ostwald ripening. Two types of CSDs are recognized. One is consistent with the theoretical prediction of size distribution
while the other is wider than the theoretical distribution. The former CSD applies to samples in which garnets show homogeneous
spatial distributions. The latter CSD applies to samples in which garnets show heterogeneous spatial distributions such as
in clusters or layers. These relations suggest that the heterogeneity of spatial distributions results in a heterogeneity
of concentration of garnet, causing the wide distributions. The mean diameter (dg) has a large variation in samples having narrow distributions. Ostwald ripening explains well the similar patterns of CSD
in these samples with different dg because of a scaling law. Compositional profiles of garnets with different size are consistent with Ostwald ripening rather
than nucleation and growth kinetics. This suggests that the CSDs result from Ostwald ripening. Magnitude of heating rate will
determine which mechanism controls CSD. Nucleation and growth kinetics are dominant when heating rate is large. On the other
hand, Ostwald ripening is dominant when heating rate is small. CSDs of garnets in high P/T metamorphic rocks are consistent with the latter case. 相似文献

Grain growth rates in partially molten olivine aggregates were determined experimentally at a pressure of 1 GPa. The aim of
the experiments with fine-grained starting material (solution–gelation derived Fo90 olivine with a grain size of ∼1 μm with 2 and 4 wt.% added basaltic glass) was to determine growth rates during steady-state
grain growth. A series of experiments was conducted at a fixed temperature of 1,350°C for durations from 2 to 700 h, and a
second series at fixed duration (168 h) at temperatures from 1,250 to 1,450°C. The resulting activation energy (E=390 kJ/mol) and growth exponent (n=4.3) are comparable to melt-free results (Nichols and Mackwell 1991). The observed grain size distributions are broader than those predicted for normal grain growth or Ostwald ripening and
most similar to the Log-normal distribution. The observed melt distribution is influenced by the continuous rearrangement
of neighboring grains during growth. The relatively large growth exponent observed in this study and by Nichols and Mackwell
(1991) where secondary phases are present suggests that grain growth in the upper mantle is slower than predicted by Karato (1989). 相似文献

A fundamental dichotomy exists between the low solubility of zircon in peraluminous melt predicted by experimental and geochemical studies and the large volume proportions of zircon overgrowths formed during high-temperature metamorphism and anatexis that are revealed by cathodoluminescence imaging. We investigate the potential of Ostwald ripening as a possible mechanism for overgrowth formation by presenting a numerical solution to the continuity equation governing open system, diffusion rate-limited Ostwald ripening in a zircon-saturated melt. Application of the model to a typical (log-normal) initial zircon crystal size distribution (CSD) suggests that despite uncertainties associated with the interfacial free energy of zircon, significant grain coarsening is possible via this mechanism under geological conditions and time scales relevant to high-grade metamorphism. Primary influences on the rate at which Ostwald ripening proceeds are (i) the temperature of the system, (ii) the duration of the time interval for which the system is above its solidus, and (iii) the nature of the initial (premelting) zircon CSD.To test the viability of the model, we examine zircon CSDs from three high-grade pelitic migmatites of the Tickalara Metamorphics (northwestern Australia), assuming that zircon crystals hosted by melanosome biotite were permanently occluded from the melt (and therefore approximate the premelting CSD). The model predicts that within 1 to 2 Ma, these biotite-hosted zircon CSDs will evolve into the observed leucosome-hosted zircon CSDs via melt-present Ostwald ripening, under geological conditions applicable to peak metamorphism.Although we have not conclusively demonstrated that Ostwald ripening contributed to changes in zircon CSDs during anatexis of the Tickalara metapelites, our results suggest that Ostwald ripening is a viable mechanism for zircon volume transfer in a zircon-saturated melt and capable of playing a significant role in overgrowth formation in rocks where the total volume of zircon overgrowths substantially exceeds the concentration of zircon dissolvable in the coexisting melt. 相似文献

High-temperature creep behavior in Ni2GeO4 spinel was investigated using synthetic polycrystalline aggregates with average grain sizes ranging from submicron to 7.4
microns. Cylindrical samples were deformed at constant load in a gas-medium apparatus at temperatures ranging from 1223 to
1523 K and stresses ranging from 40 to 320 MPa. Two deformation mechanisms were identified, characterized by the following
flow laws:
where σ is in MPa, d is in μm and T is in Kelvin. These flow laws suggest that deformation was accommodated by dislocation creep and grain-boundary diffusion
(Coble) creep, respectively. A comparison with other spinels shows that an isomechanical group can be defined for spinels
although some differences between normal and inverse spinels can be identified. When creep data for olivine and spinel are
normalized and extrapolated to Earth-like conditions, spinel (ringwoodite) has a strength similar to olivine in the dislocation
creep regime and is considerably stronger than olivine in the diffusion creep regime at coarse grain size. However, when grain-size
reduction occurs, spinel can become weaker than olivine due to its high grain-size sensitivity (Coble creep behavior). Analysis
of normalized diffusion creep data for olivine and spinel indicate that spinel is weaker than olivine at grain sizes less
than 2 μm.

Experimental quantification of plagioclase crystal size distribution during cooling of a basaltic liquid 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2

An experimental study has been conducted to constrain how thermal history controls crystal size distribution (CSD) of plagioclase
in cooling basalts. Data from all experiments are dominated by a log-linear segment of decreasing number density with increasing
crystal size, consistent with observations in many natural rocks. The slope of the CSD is found to be a function of cooling
rate, faster cooling leading to greater slopes. At constant cooling rate the CSDs flatten as temperature decreases, and are
sometimes kinked, characteristics consistent with independent textural observations that crystal agglomeration contributes
significantly to crystal “growth”. A downturn is observed toward small size, which suggests Ostwald ripening. Furthermore,
we find that thermal history above the liquidus has a major influence on CSDs and on the temperatures of phase appearance.
We conclude that near the liquidus heterogeneous nucleation typically dominates.

Diffusive coarsening (Ostwald ripening) of H2O and H2O-CO2 bubbles in rhyolite and basaltic andesite melts was studied with elevated temperature–pressure experiments to investigate
the rates and time spans over which vapor bubbles may enlarge and attain sufficient buoyancy to segregate in magmatic systems.
Bubble growth and segregation are also considered in terms of classical steady-state and transient (non-steady-state) ripening
theory. Experimental results are consistent with diffusive coarsening as the dominant mechanism of bubble growth. Ripening
is faster in experiments saturated with pure H2O than in those with a CO2-rich mixed vapor probably due to faster diffusion of H2O than CO2 through the melt. None of the experimental series followed the time1/3 increase in mean bubble radius and time−1 decrease in bubble number density predicted by classical steady-state ripening theory. Instead, products are interpreted
as resulting from transient regime ripening. Application of transient regime theory suggests that bubbly magmas may require
from days to 100 years to reach steady-state ripening conditions. Experimental results, as well as theory for steady-state
ripening of bubbles that are immobile or undergoing buoyant ascent, indicate that diffusive coarsening efficiently eliminates
micron-sized bubbles and would produce mm-sized bubbles in 102–104 years in crustal magma bodies. Once bubbles attain mm-sizes, their calculated ascent rates are sufficient that they could
transit multiple kilometers over hundreds to thousands of years through mafic and silicic melt, respectively. These results
show that diffusive coarsening can facilitate transfer of volatiles through, and from, magmatic systems by creating bubbles
sufficiently large for rapid ascent. 相似文献

Bulk diffusion of iron in synthetic dunites containing 1–6 vol.% fluid or melt at 10 kbar (1 GPa) and 900°–1300° C was examined by encapsulating the samples in platinum, which served as a sink for iron. The rate of iron loss from the dunite was found to depend strongly upon the identity of the fluid, which was varied from CO2 and H2O to melts of basaltic and sodium carbonate composition. Carbon dioxide in amounts up to 4 vol.% has no effect upon bulk iron diffusion because it exists in the dunite are isolated pores. The interconnected nature of H2O, basaltic melt, and carbonate melt, on the other hand, results in marked enhancement of bulk-rock Fe diffusion that is correlated with the diffusivity and solubility of olivine components in the fluid. At 1300° C, 4–5 vol.% of either water or basaltic melt increases the effective bulk diffusivity from the fluidabsent value of 10-10 cm2/s to 10-8 cm2/s. A single experiment involving a similar volume fraction of carbonate melt yielded a minimum bulk diffusivity of 10-7–10-6 cm2/s. This remarkably high value is attributable to the concurrent high diffusivity and high solubility of olivine components in molten carbonate H2O has a high diffusivity, estimated at 10-4 cm2/s in this study, and basaltic melt can dissolve large amounts of olivine, but neither possesses these two qualities in combination. Bulk transport of Fe in dunite containing <2 vol.% of pure H2O is independent of olivine grain size for samples having an average grain diameter of <10 m to 60 m. This is probably because bulk diffusion specifically in these H2O-bearing samples is ratelimited by the flux (which is proportional to concentration) of olivine components in the fluid. Given a constant fluid volume fraction, the effect of reducing the grain size is to increase the number of fluid-filled channels, but at the same time to decrease their average aperture, thus keeping constant the cross-sectional area through which the diffusional flux occurs. (Independence of bulk diffusivity from grain size is not anticipated for rocks containing melt, in which the silicate components are much more soluble.) In numerical (finite difference) simulations of selected laboratory experiments, the bulk Fe transport process was modeled as diffusion in fluid-filled tubules of triangular cross-section that are supplied by volume diffusion from contacting olivine grains with which they are in surface equilibrium. Applying a tortuosity factor of 1.7 brings the numerically computed diffusional loss profiles for experiments containing basaltic melt into near-coincidence with the experimentally-determined curves. This success in reproducing the experimental results lends credence to the interpretation of the bulk diffusional loss profiles as composites of gradients due to volume, grain-boundary and fluid-phase diffusion. 相似文献

A close look at dihedral angles and melt geometry in olivine-basalt aggregates: a TEM study 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Olivine-basalt aggregates sintered at high P/T have been used as a simplest approximation of partially molten upper mantle peridotite. In the past, geometry of partial
melt in polycrystalline olivine (and other materials) has been characterised by dihedral (wetting) angles which depend upon
surface free energy. However, since olivine (like most other crystalline materials) is distinctively anisotropic, the simple
surface energy balance defining the dihedral angles cos(Θ/2)=gb/2sl is not valid and melt geometry is more complicated than can be expressed by a single dihedral angle value. We examine in
detail melt geometry in aggregates held at high temperature and pressure for very long times (240–612 h). We show the simple
dihedral angle concept to be invalid via transmission electron microscope images. Olivine-basalt interfaces are frequently
planar crystal faces (F-faces) which are controlled by the crystal structure rather than the surface area minimisation used
in the simple dihedral angle concept. Nevertheless, the dihedral angles may provide useful insights in some situations. They
may give a rough estimation of the wetting behaviour of a system, or be used to approximate the melt distribution if F-faces
are not present (possibly at large grain size and very low melt fraction). Our measurements, excluding F-faces, give a range
of dihedral angle values from 0 to 10° which is significantly lower than reported previously (20–50°). The nature of 0° angles
(films and layers up to 1 μm in thickness) is unclear but their frequency compared to dry grain boundaries depends on grain
size and melt fraction (e.g. 70% for grain size 43 μm and melt fraction 2%).

The rates of grain growth of stoichiometric dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2] and magnesite (MgCO3) have been measured at temperatures T of 700–800°C at a confining pressure P
c of 300 MPa, and compared with growth rates of calcite (CaCO3). Dry, fine-grained aggregates of the three carbonates were synthesized from high purity powders by hot isostatic pressing
(HIP); initial mean grain sizes of HIP-synthesized carbonates were 1.4, 1.1, and 17 μm, respectively, for CaMg(CO3)2, MgCO3, and CaCO3, with porosities of 2, 28, and 0.04% by volume. Grain sizes of all carbonates coarsened during subsequent isostatic annealing,
with mean values reaching 3.9, 5.1, and 27 μm for CaMg(CO3)2, MgCO3, and CaCO3, respectively, in 1 week. Grain growth of dolomite is much slower than the growth rates of magnesite or calcite; assuming
normal grain growth and n = 3 for all three carbonates, the rate constant K for dolomite (≃5 × 10−5 μm3/s) at T = 800°C is less than that for magnesite by a factor of ~30 and less than that for calcite by three orders of magnitude. Variations
in carbonate grain growth may be affected by differences in cation composition and densities of pores at grain boundaries
that decrease grain boundary mobility. However, rates of coarsening correlate best with the extent of solid solution; K is the largest for calcite with extensive Mg substitution for Ca, while K is the smallest for dolomite with negligible solid solution. Secondary phases may nucleate at advancing dolomite grain boundaries,
with implications for deformation processes, rheology, and reaction kinetics of carbonates. 相似文献

Thermodynamic analysis of Fe and Mg partitioning between plagioclase and silicate liquid 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Thermodynamic analysis of Fe- and Mg-bearing plagioclase and silicate liquid was carried out based on reported element partitioning
data between plagioclase and silicate liquid in reduced conditions, solution properties of ternary feldspar, standard state
properties of plagioclase endmembers and solution properties of multicomponent silicate liquid. Derived mixing properties
of Fe- and Mg-bearing plagioclase are in harmony with estimated results from synthetic experiments in the systems CaAl2Si2O8-CaFeSi3O8 and CaAl2Si2O8-CaMgSi3O8. Based on the determined solution properties of the plagioclase, a computer program to calculate the element partition relationships
between Fe- and Mg-bearing plagioclase and multicomponent silicate liquid was developed. The FeO, MgO and MgO/(MgO + FeO)
in plagioclase predicted from known liquid compositions and pressure are in agreement with measurements within 0.2 wt%, 0.1 wt%
and 0.1 (mol ratio), respectively. The Fe3+ content in plagioclase crystallized at high oxygen fugacity can be estimated with this program. The Fe3+/total Fe ratio in plagioclase crystallized near the quartz-fayalite-magnetite buffer ranges from 0 to 0.5, which is consistent
with previous study on natural plagioclase in submarine basalt. Derived solution properties of the Fe- and Mg-bearing plagioclase
are also used to calculate equilibrium composition relationship between olivine and plagioclase. Change of X
Fo in olivine coexisting with plagioclase affects MgO and FeO contents in plagioclase greatly. The present model predicts X
Fo of coexisting olivine from the chemical composition of plagioclase to ±0.1 accuracy at given pressure and temperature.

Part I of this contribution (Gardés et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol, 2010) reported time- and temperature-dependent experimental growth of polycrystalline forsterite-enstatite double layers between
single crystals of periclase and quartz, and enstatite single layers between forsterite and quartz. Both double and single
layers displayed growth rates decreasing with time and pronounced grain coarsening. Here, a model is presented for the growth
of the layers that couples grain boundary diffusion and grain coarsening to interpret the drop of the growth rates. It results
that the growth of the layers is such that (Δx)2 ∝ t
1−1/n
, where Δx is the layer thickness and n the grain coarsening exponent, as experimentally observed. It is shown that component transport occurs mainly by grain boundary
diffusion and that the contribution of volume diffusion is negligible. Assuming a value of 1 nm for the effective grain boundary
width, the following Arrhenius laws for MgO grain boundary diffusion are derived: log D
gb,0Fo (m2/s) = −2.71 ± 1.03 and E
gbFo = 329 ± 30 kJ/mol in forsterite and log D
gb,0En (m2/s) = 0.13 ± 1.31 and E
gbEn = 417 ± 38 kJ/mol in enstatite. The different activation energies are responsible for the changes in the enstatite/forsterite
thickness ratio with varying temperature. We show that significant biases are introduced if grain boundary diffusion-controlled
rim growth is modelled assuming constant bulk diffusivities so that differences in activation energies of more than 100 kJ/mol
may arise. It is thus important to consider grain coarsening when modelling layered reaction zones because they are usually
polycrystalline and controlled by grain boundary transport. 相似文献

The normal grain growth behaviour of four different, but all nominally pure, calcite powders (99%+ analytic grade calcite,
99.7% chalk, 99.97% crushed Iceland Spar, 99.95%+ chelometric grade calcite) has been investigated as a function of temperature
(550, 600, 650, 700 °C) and confining pressure (100, 190 MPa) under both “dry” and hydrostatic (P
fluid = P
total) conditions. The initial particle size of both the analytic grade and chelometric grade calcite was about 5 μm, and that
of the chalk was about 3 μm, while the experiments on the Iceland Spar were conducted on powders of three different initial
particle sizes (3.4, 7.5, 38.5 μm). On each material, at each pressure/temperature condition 6 to 15 experiments, equally
spaced in log time from 15 minutes to 50 days, were conducted. Under dry conditions all four materials recrystallized to aggregates
which contained less than 2% porosity and which had a grain size of between 4 and 20 μm (depending on the initial particle
size). Subsequently the aggregates coarsened by normal grain growth, with the kinetics of the growth process being controlled
by the rate at which the grain boundaries could drag the residual pores with them as they migrated. Under nominally identical
conditions both the mechanism and rates of pore drag differed greatly for the different materials, implying that this process
is highly sensitive to trace solute impurity concentrations. This sensitivity renders the task of providing a systematic account
of dry calcite grain growth kinetics highly problematic. Under hydrostatic conditions all the powders followed the same normal
grain growth kinetics in which the growth process was rate-controlled by diffusion through the pore fluid on the grain boundaries.
An activation enthalpy of 162.6 kJ mol−1 and an activation volume of 34.35 cm3 mol−1 was obtained for this process.

To characterise the kinetics of Ostwald ripening of quartz, we conducted four series of experiments in systems consisting of quartz, with an initial grain size of ƹ.3 to 6 µm, in equilibrium with hydrous silicic liquids. Two series were performed with a haplogranitic liquid containing 6.5 wt% H2O at 900 °C and 1 GPa. The third series was made in the quartz-anorthite system at water saturation, 900 °C, and 1 GPa. The last series was made in the quartz-albite system at water saturation, 800 °C, and 0.2 GPa. In all series, we observed a relatively small but systematic increase of the mean grain size of quartz, % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+- % feaaeaart1ev0aaatCvAUfKttLearuavTnhis1MBaeXatLxBI9gBae % bbnrfifHhDYfgasaacH8YjY-vipgYlH8Gipec8Eeeu0xXdbba9frFj % 0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs0dXdbPYxe9 % vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaabaqaamaaaOqaaiqbdsga % Kzaaraaaaa!29AA!

[`(d)] \bar d diagrams, between 1/5 and 1/7, are, however, much smaller than the value of 1/3 predicted by the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory for diffusion-controlled Ostwald ripening. A possible explanation for this discrepancy is that the diffusion-controlled regime in our experiments is only attained after a transient regime lasting from 20 h in series III to 100 h in series IV. A more straightforward explanation of the experimental results is that the rate-limiting mechanism for Ostwald ripening is quartz growth by surface nucleation not diffusion in the silicic liquid. Finally, we extrapolated our data to geological time scales to evaluate the importance of Ostwald ripening in natural quartz-bearing magmatic systems: (1) quartz cannot coarsen measurably by Ostwald ripening over reasonable time scales if the initial grain size is ƹ mm or more; and (2) Ostwald ripening may be very active at the end of nucleation events and result in the consumption of a significant proportion of crystalline nuclei. 相似文献

Cr-Ca lamellae in a magnesian olivine grain (section 1611) from the Luna 24 regolith were investigated in detail by electron
microprobe analysis (EMPA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that
the lamellae are parallel to the (100) plane of oxygen closest packing in olivine and consist of regular vermicular intergrowths
of two phases, diopside (Di) and chromite (Chr), in the volume proportion Di: Chr ≈ 3: 1. The bulk chemical composition of the lamellae is approximated as Ca2Mg2Fe2+(Cr3+)2Si4O16. They are identical in phase composition to type A, F, and E symplectites from Apollo lunar samples [9]. Based on morphology
and phase composition, the lamellar aggregates in the olivine grain from the Luna 24 regolith were classified as pyroxene
(Px)-spinel (Spl) symplectites of a lamellar type, the formation of which was related to olivine oxidation at IW ≤ logfO2 ≤ QFM. The obtained data indicate a solid-phase mechanism of lamella formation and the existence of a lamellar precursor
phase, which transformed subsequently into the Px-Spl symplectite. It was supposed that uvarovite-knorringite garnet produced by the oxidation of olivine at high pressures and
t > 800°C could be the transitional phase during symplectite formation. The subsequent conversion of the garnet into the low-pressure
assemblage of Px-Spl symplectites could occur via cellular decomposition in accordance with the reaction Ca2MgCr2Si3O12 + (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 = 2CaMgSi2O6 + FeCr2O4. The reported results are the first data of a detailed nanomineralogical investigation of lamellar Px-Spl symplectites in lunar olivine. 相似文献

for a high-resolution study on the paleoenvironment. Based on precise dating of AMS 14C, grain size analysis of terrigenous debris at core MD05-2905 was conducted after organic matter, biological carbonate and
biogenic opal were removed. The results show that 15.5–63.5 μm coarse grain size ingredients may indicate East Asian winter
monsoon changes and that 2–9 μm fine grain size ingredients may be used as a proxy of evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon.
The results of grain size analysis, which suggest East Asian monsoon intensity, reveal that a winter monsoon dominated the
glacial regime and a summer monsoon dominated the Holocene regime. It was also shown that the summer monsoon increased gradually,
experienced several abrupt changes and reached a culmination in the early Holocene (11200–8500 a B.P.) since 36 ka. Controlled
by precession periodicity, it may be related with the amount of solar radiation at the highest stage, which needs further
study.

The rate of static dislocation recovery in Fo90 olivine has been studied under conditions of high temperature and controlled atmosphere in compressively deformed polycrystals
hot-pressed from synthetic (sol–gel) and natural (San Carlos) precursor powders. The sol–gel olivine, containing a small fraction
of orthopyroxene, was deformed to a final strain of 19% with a maximum differential stress of 266 MPa whereas the San Carlos
specimen was deformed to 15% strain and 260 MPa differential stress. Small samples cut from these deformed materials were
annealed under high-temperature, controlled atmosphere conditions, for different durations to allow partial recovery of the
dislocation sub-structures. Oxidative-decoration of the microstructural features, followed by backscattered electron imaging
at 5 kV and image analysis, was used to determine dislocation density. The variation of dislocation density ρ with time t at absolute temperature T was fitted to a second-order rate equation, in integral form, 1/ρ(t) − 1/ρ(0) = kt with k = k
0 exp(−E
a/RT). The activation energy E
a of the recovery process is 240 ± 43 and 355 ± 81 kJ mol−1 for sol–gel and San Carlos olivine polycrystals, respectively. The measured rates are one to two orders of magnitude lower
than those reported in previous studies on natural single crystal olivine. The difference may be explained by several factors
such as high dislocation densities measurable from large areas at high magnification for the SEM and the technique used to
estimate dislocation densities. Comparison between fine-grained sol–gel olivine and the coarser-grained San Carlos olivine
aggregate did not indicate that grain boundaries play an important role in dislocation recovery, but the absence of grain
boundaries might also have contributed to the high dislocation recovery rates previously measured for single crystals. 相似文献

In order to shed light on upper crustal differentiation of mantle-derived basaltic magmas in a subduction zone setting, we
have determined the mineral chemistry and oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of individual cumulus minerals in plutonic
blocks from St. Vincent, Lesser Antilles. Plutonic rock types display great variation in mineralogy, from olivine–gabbros
to troctolites and hornblendites, with a corresponding variety of cumulate textures. Mineral compositions differ from those
in erupted basaltic lavas from St. Vincent and in published high-pressure (4–10 kb) experimental run products of a St. Vincent
high-Mg basalt in having higher An plagioclase coexisting with lower Fo olivine. The oxygen isotope compositions (δ18O) of cumulus olivine (4.89–5.18‰), plagioclase (5.84–6.28‰), clinopyroxene (5.17–5.47‰) and hornblende (5.48–5.61‰) and hydrogen
isotope composition of hornblende (δD = −35.5 to −49.9‰) are all consistent with closed system magmatic differentiation of
a mantle-derived basaltic melt. We employed a number of modelling exercises to constrain the origin of the chemical and isotopic
compositions reported. δ18OOlivine is up to 0.2‰ higher than modelled values for closed system fractional crystallisation of a primary melt. We attribute this
to isotopic disequilibria between cumulus minerals crystallising at different temperatures, with equilibration retarded by
slow oxygen diffusion in olivine during prolonged crustal storage. We used melt inclusion and plagioclase compositions to
determine parental magmatic water contents (water saturated, 4.6 ± 0.5 wt% H2O) and crystallisation pressures (173 ± 50 MPa). Applying these values to previously reported basaltic and basaltic andesite
lava compositions, we can reproduce the cumulus plagioclase and olivine compositions and their associated trend. We conclude
that differentiation of primitive hydrous basalts on St. Vincent involves crystallisation of olivine and Cr-rich spinel at
depth within the crust, lowering MgO and Cr2O3 and raising Al2O3 and CaO of residual melt due to suppression of plagioclase. Low density, hydrous basaltic and basaltic andesite melts then
ascend rapidly through the crust, stalling at shallow depth upon water saturation where crystallisation of the chemically
distinct cumulus phases observed in this study can occur. Deposited crystals armour the shallow magma chamber where oxygen
isotope equilibration between minerals is slowly approached, before remobilisation and entrainment by later injections of
magma. 相似文献

Crystal size distributions (CSDs) are a standard method of describing populations of crystals within magmatic rocks. Olivine
is the dominant phase in kimberlite (∼40–50% by volume) and features a diverse range of sizes, shapes and origins. CSDs of
olivine provide a logical means of semi-quantitatively characterising kimberlite. The CSDs can then be used to distinguish
or correlate between kimberlite bodies or to investigate processes related to ascent, emplacement and eruption. In this paper,
we present an automatic image analysis technique that provides efficient quantification of olivine CSDs within digital images
of polished slabs of kimberlite. This technique relies on a combination of algorithms for detecting regions of interest (ROI)
and for segmentation of ROIs in order to identify individual olivine crystals that are used for size distribution datasets.
The detection process identifies regions expected to be olivine using a model-based colour detection technique using Mahalanobis
distance combined with texture analysis based on local standard deviation and greyscale foreground enhancement techniques.
The segmentation process separates adjacent domains to identify individual crystals using an iterative marker-based watershed
algorithm to separate adjoined structures of varying sizes. We demonstrate the utility of automatic image analysis by comparing
CSDs for olivine derived from this method versus results from manual digitisation of olivine grains. The automatic detection
system correctly identified ∼86% of the manually detected olivine domains; ∼88% of the automatically detected regions correctly
correlate to manually defined olivine grains. Discrepancies between the two methods are mostly the result of oversimplification
of crystal margins (i.e. rounding) by manual tracing whereas automatic boundary recognition shows clear advantages in identifying
irregularities in crystal edges. Closer examination of the results shows that both methods suffer from under-representation
of smaller crystals due to: (1) human subjectivity and error in manual tracing and (2) noise removal processes in automatic
detection. Automatic detection of olivine grains is much more efficient than conventional manual tracing; manual detection
requires ∼6 h per sample versus ∼1 min for automatic analysis of the same sample. 相似文献
