In order to investigate directly the structure and properties of grain boundaries in silicate materials undergoing pressure
solution, in situ measurements of these properties are required. We report electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements,
performed, under hydrothermal conditions, on individual glass–glass and glass-quartz contacts undergoing pressure solution.
Resulting estimates of the average grain boundary diffusivity product (
Z = Dd\textav C* Z = D\delta_{\text{av}} C^{*} ) for silica transport and of the average grain boundary fluid film thickness (
d\textav \delta_{\text{av}} ) fall in the ranges 6.3 ± 1.4 × 10−18 m3 s−1 and 350 ± 210 nm, respectively. However, the average values for Z and
d\textav \delta_{\text{av}} obtained were likely influenced by cracking and irregular dissolution of the dissolving contact surfaces, rather than representing
uniformly wetted grain boundary properties. Post-mortem SEM observations indicate that the contact surfaces were internally
rough. Taken together, our data support the notion that during pressure solution of quartz, grain boundary diffusion is rapid,
and interface processes (dissolution and precipitation) are more likely to be rate-limiting than diffusion. 相似文献

Hydrogen diffusion in spinel grain boundaries and consequences for chemical homogenization in hydrous peridotite 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sylvie Demouchy 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2010,160(6):887-898
Hydrogen can be stored in the structure of nominally anhydrous minerals as point defects, and these impurities substantially
modify many physical properties of Earth’s mantle minerals. However, mantle rocks are composed of mineral grains separated
by grain boundaries and interphase grains boundaries. Therefore, as a potential hydrogen reservoir, grain boundaries should
be given proper attention. Here, I report an experimental investigation into hydrogen diffusion through grain boundaries in
polycrystalline aggregates. Sintering and diffusion experiments were performed using a gas-medium high-pressure vessel at
under pressure of 300 MPa and over a temperature range of 900–1,250°C. The diffusion assembly consisted of a polycrystalline
cylinder of aluminous spinel + olivine crystals with a talc cylinder as the main hydrogen source. A Ni capsule was used to
buffer the oxygen fugacity at Ni–NiO. Experimental durations varied from 5 min to 5 h. The presence of hydrogen in the crystals
was measured by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The calculation of the diffusion coefficients was based on the estimation
of the characteristic distance. The absence or presence of hydrogen recorded by the ‘hydrogen sensor’ olivines embedded in
the aggregate allows the estimation of bounds on this characteristic distance. Results presented here suggest that hydrogen
effective diffusion coefficients are only one order of magnitude faster (~10−9 m2s−1 at 1,000°C) than in an olivine single crystal along the [100] axis. Resulting diffusion coefficients for hydrogen in grain
boundary are four orders of magnitude faster than in a single crystal, but this diffusivity is not fast enough to affect hydrogen
mobility in mantle rocks with grain sizes greater than ~1 mm. Thus, very limited chemical homogenization would occur using
grain boundaries diffusion in mantle hydrous peridotite for incompatible and volatile element, such as hydrogen. 相似文献

The growth rates of albite and pyroxene (enstatite + diopside + spinel) reaction rims were measured at 1000°C and ˜700 MPa
and found to be parabolic indicating diffusion-controlled growth. The parabolic rate constants for the pyroxene (+ spinel)
rims in samples with 0.5 wt% H2O added or initially vacuum dried at 25°C and 250°C are 1.68 ± 0.09, 0.54 ± 0.05 and 0.25 ± 0.06 μm2/h, respectively. The values for albite rim growth in samples initially dried at 60°C and with 0.1 wt% H2O added are 0.25 ± 0.04 and 0.33 ± 0.03 μm2/h, respectively. The latter values were used to derive the product of the grain boundary diffusion coefficient D′A, where A = SiO2, NaAlO2, or NaAlSi−1, and the grain boundary thickness δ in albite. The calculated D′SIO2δ in the albite aggregate for the situations of two different water contents are about 9.9 × 10−23 and 1.4 × 10−22 m3 s−1, respectively. Both the rate constants and the calculated D′Aδ demonstrate that the effect of water content on the grain boundary diffusion rate in monomineralic albite and polymineralic
pyroxene (+ spinel) aggregates is small, consistent with recent studies of monomineralic enstatite and forsterite rims.

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

Metamorphic fluid origins in the Osborne Fe oxide–Cu–Au deposit,Australia: evidence from noble gases and halogens 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The Osborne iron oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) deposit is hosted by amphibolite facies metasedimentary rocks and associated with
pegmatite sheets formed by anatexis during peak metamorphism. Eleven samples of ore-related hydrothermal quartz and two pegmatitic
quartz–feldspar samples contain similarly complex fluid inclusion assemblages that include variably saline (<12–65 wt% salts)
aqueous and liquid carbon dioxide varieties that are typical of IOCG mineralisation. The diverse fluid inclusion types present
in each of these different samples have been investigated by neutron-activated noble gas analysis using a combination of semi-selective
thermal and mechanical decrepitation techniques. Ore-related quartz contains aqueous and carbonic fluid inclusions that have
similar 40Ar/36Ar values of between 300 and 2,200. The highest-salinity fluid inclusions (47–65 wt% salts) have calculated 36Ar concentrations of approximately 1–5 ppb, which are more variable than air-saturated water (ASW = 1.3–2.7 ppb). These fluid
inclusions have extremely variable Br/Cl values of between 3.8 × 10−3 and 0.3 × 10−3, and I/Cl values of between 27 × 10−6 and 2.4 × 10−6 (all ratios are molar). Fluid inclusions in the two pegmatite samples have similar 40Ar/36Ar values of ≤1,700 and an overlapping range of Br/Cl and I/Cl values. High-salinity fluid inclusions in the pegmatite samples
have 2.5–21 ppb 36Ar, that overlap the range determined for ore-related samples in only one case. The fluid inclusions in both sample groups
have 84Kr/36Ar and 129Xe/36Ar ratios that are mainly in the range of air and air-saturated water and are similar to mid-crustal rocks and fluids from
other settings. The uniformly low 40Ar/36Ar values (<2,200) and extremely variable Br/Cl and I/Cl values do not favour a singular or dominant fluid origin from basement-
or mantle-derived magmatic fluids related to A-type magmatism. Instead, the data are compatible with the involvement of metamorphic
fluids that have interacted with anatectic melts to variable extents. The ‘metamorphic’ fluids probably represent a mixture
of (1) inherited sedimentary pore fluids and (2) locally derived metamorphic volatilisation products. The lowest Br/Cl and
I/Cl values and the ultra-high salinities are most easily explained by the dissolution of evaporites. The data demonstrate
that externally derived magmatic fluids are not a ubiquitous component of IOCG ore-forming systems, but are compatible with
models in which IOCG mineralisation is localised at sites of mixing between fluids of different origin.

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

The fidelity of melt inclusions as records of melt composition 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0
Don R. Baker 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,156(3):377-395
A series of experiments created melt inclusions in plagioclase and pyroxene crystals grown from a basaltic melt at 1,150°C,
1.0 GPa to investigate diffusive fractionation during melt inclusion formation; additionally, P diffusion in a basaltic melt
was measured at 1.0 GPa. Melt inclusions and melts within a few 100 microns of plagioclase–melt interfaces were analyzed for
comparison with melt compositions far from the crystals. Melt inclusions and melt compositions in the boundary layer close
to the crystal–melt interface were similar, but both differ significantly in incompatible element concentrations from melt
found greater than approximately 200 microns away from the crystals. The compositional profiles of S, Cl, P, Fe, and Al in
the boundary layers were successfully reproduced by a two-step model of rapid crystal growth followed by diffusive relaxation
toward equilibrium after termination of crystal growth. Applying this model to investigate possible incompatible element enrichment
in natural melt inclusions demonstrated that at growth rates high enough to create the conditions for melt inclusion formation,
∼10−9–10−8 m s−1, the concentration of water in the boundary layer near the crystal was similar to that of the bulk melt because of its high
diffusion coefficient, but sulfur, with a diffusivity similar to major elements and CO2, was somewhat enriched in the boundary layer melt, and phosphorus, with its low diffusion coefficient similar to other high-field
strength elements and rare earth elements, was significantly enriched. Thus, the concentrations of sulfur and phosphorus in
melt inclusions may over-estimate their values in the bulk melt, and other elements with similar diffusion coefficients may
also be enriched in melt inclusions relative to the bulk melt.

The heat capacity at constant pressure, C
p, of chlorapatite [Ca5(PO4)3Cl – ClAp], and fluorapatite [Ca5(PO4)3F – FAp], as well as of 12 compositions along the chlorapatite–fluorapatite join have been measured using relaxation calorimetry
[heat capacity option of the physical properties measurement system (PPMS)] and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in
the temperature range 5–764 K. The chlor-fluorapatites were synthesized at 1,375–1,220°C from Ca3(PO4)2 using the CaF2–CaCl2 flux method. Most of the chlor-fluorapatite compositions could be measured directly as single crystals using the PPMS such
that they were attached to the sample platform of the calorimeter by a crystal face. However, the crystals were too small
for the crystal face to be polished. In such cases, where the sample coupling was not optimal, an empirical procedure was
developed to smoothly connect the PPMS to the DSC heat capacities around ambient T. The heat capacity of the end-members above 298 K can be represented by the polynomials: C

−3 (units, J mol−1 K−1). Their standard third-law entropy, derived from the low-temperature heat capacity measurements, is S° = 400.6 ± 1.6 J mol−1 K−1 for chlorapatite and S° = 383.2 ± 1.5 J mol−1 K−1 for fluorapatite. Positive excess heat capacities of mixing, ΔC
pex, occur in the chlorapatite–fluorapatite solid solution around 80 K (and to a lesser degree at 200 K) and are asymmetrically
distributed over the join reaching a maximum of 1.3 ± 0.3 J mol−1 K−1 for F-rich compositions. They are significant at these conditions exceeding the 2σ-uncertainty of the data. The excess entropy of mixing, ΔS
ex, at 298 K reaches positive values of 3–4 J mol−1 K−1 in the F-rich portion of the binary, is, however, not significantly different from zero across the join within its 2σ-uncertainty. 相似文献

The Tuwaishan, Baoban, Erjia, Bumo and other gold deposits in western Hainan occur in Precambrian metamorphic clastic rocks
and are structurally controlled by the Gezhen shear zone. Fluid inclusion studies have been carried out of the gold deposits
mentioned above. The homogenization temperatures of the whole fluid inclusion population range from 140°C to 370°C, indicating
that gold was precipitated mainly at 240–250°C. The salinities are within the range of 2.0–9.2 wt% NaCl equiv. and the pressure
of formation of the deposits was estimated at about 270×105−500×105Pa, corresponding to a depth of about 1.1–2.0 km under lithostatic confinement. Chemical studies show that the ore fluid is
of the Na+(K+)-Ca2+-Cl−(F−) type. Theδ
18O andδD values of the fluid vary from −2.7‰- +4.4‰ and −50‰–−87‰ Evidence developed from fluid inclusions and geological setting
indicates that the ore fluid was a mixture of magmatic and meteoric-hydrothermal waters. Changes in chemical composition andδ
18O andδD of fluid inclusions from one ore field to another seem to be related with regional tectonism, metamorphism and magmatism. 相似文献

The Zálesí vein-type deposit is hosted by Early Paleozoic high-grade metamorphic rocks on the northern margin of the Bohemian
Massif. The mineralization is composed of three main stages: uraninite, arsenide, and sulfide. The mineral assemblages formed
at low temperatures (~80 to 130°C, locally even lower) and low pressures (<100 bars). The salinity of the aqueous hydrothermal
fluids (0 to 27 wt.% salts) and their chemical composition vary significantly. Early fluids of the oldest uraninite stage
contain a small admixture of a clathrate-forming gas, possibly CO2. Salinity correlates with oxygen isotope signature of the fluid and suggests mixing of brines [δ
18O around +2‰ relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW)] with meteoric waters (δ
18O around −4‰ SMOW). The fluid is characterized by highly variable halogen ratios (molar Br/Cl = 0.8 × 10−3 to 5.3 × 10−3; molar I/Cl = 5.7 × 10−6 to 891 × 10−6) indicating a dominantly external origin for the brines, i.e., from evaporated seawater, which mixed with iodine-enriched
halite dissolution brine. The cationic composition of these fluids indicates extensive interaction of the initial brines with
their country rocks, likely associated with leaching of sulfur, carbon, and metals. The brines possibly originated from Permian–Triassic
evaporites in the neighboring Polish Basin, infiltrated into the basement during post-Variscan extension and were finally
expelled along faults giving rise to the vein-type mineralization. Cenozoic reactivation by low-salinity, low-δ
18O (around −10‰ SMOW) fluids of mainly meteoric origin resulted in partial replacement of primary uraninite by coffinite-like
mineral aggregates. 相似文献

The accepted standard state entropy of titanite (sphene) has been questioned in several recent studies, which suggested a
revision from the literature value 129.3 ± 0.8 J/mol K to values in the range of 110–120 J/mol K. The heat capacity of titanite
was therefore re-measured with a PPMS in the range 5 to 300 K and the standard entropy of titanite was calculated as 127.2
± 0.2 J/mol K, much closer to the original data than the suggested revisions. Volume parameters for a modified Murgnahan equation

298° = 5.568 J/bar, a° = 3.1 × 10−5 K−1, and K = 1,100 kbar. The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of titanite, −2456.2 kJ/mol (∆H°f = −2598.4 kJ/mol) was calculated from the new entropy and volume data combined with data from experimental reversals on the
reaction, titanite + kyanite = anorthite + rutile. This value is 4–11 kJ/mol less negative than that obtained from experimental
determinations of the enthalpy of formation, and it is slightly more negative than values given in internally consistent databases.
The displacement of most calculated phase equilibria involving titanite is not large except for reactions with small ∆S. Re-calculated baric estimates for several metamorphic suites yield pressure differences on the order of 2 kbar in eclogites
and 10 kbar for ultra-high pressure titanite-bearing assemblages. 相似文献

A bulk geochemical study has been carried out on fluid inclusion leachates extracted from quartz veins from porphyry Cu deposits
in Butte, Montana, USA and Bingham Canyon, Utah, USA. The leachates mostly represent low-salinity magmatic–hydrothermal fluid
inclusions. Their halogen ratios (Br/Cl) of fluid inclusion leachates were determined by ion chromatography, and δ37Cl values of the leachates were measured by continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Br/Cl ratios from early pre-Main
stage and later Main stage veins at Butte range from 0.60 to 1.88 × 10−3 M. Ratios are similar in pre-Main stage veins with sericite bearing selvages and Main stage samples ranging from 0.81 to
1.08 × 10−3 and from 0.92 to 1.88 × 10−3 M, respectively, clustering below seawater (1.54 × 10−3 M) and overlapping mantle values (~1–2 × 10−3 M). Two samples associated with early pre-Main stage potassic alteration yield distinctly lower Br/Cl ratios of 0.60 and
0.64 × 10−3 M. Butte δ37Cl values range from −0.8‰ to −2.3‰ with no significant difference between pre-Main stage and Main stage samples. Br/Cl ratios
for quartz veins from Bingham Canyon range from 0.18 to 3.68 × 10−3 M. Br/Cl ratios from Bingham range above and below previously reported for porphyry copper deposits. In contrast to Butte,
δ37Cl values for Bingham are lower, ranging from −0.9‰ to −4.1‰. In the absence of any processes which can significantly fractionate
chlorine isotopes at high temperatures, we suggest that the porphyry system at Bingham, and to a lesser extent at Butte, have
inherited negative chlorine isotopic signatures from the subducting slab generated at low temperatures. 相似文献

The thermal expansion of cubic pyrochlore Ce2Zr2O7 has been measured from room temperature to 898 K on polycrystalline material in conjunction with structural analyses using
neutron diffraction. This compound has a thermal expansion coefficient in line with the other comparable lanthanoide pyrochlore
oxides. The coefficient can be expressed as α(T) = 8.418 × 10−6 + 0.9861 × 10−9 × T. The structural refinements performed for each measured temperature showed a comparable linear evolution of the Ce–O/Zr–O

Quartz–carbonate–chlorite veins were studied in borehole samples of the RWTH-1 well in Aachen. Veins formed in Devonian rocks
in the footwall of the Aachen thrust during Variscan deformation and associated fluid flow. Primary fluid inclusions indicate
subsolvus unmixing of a homogenous H2O–CO2–CH4–(N2)–Na–(K)–Cl fluid into a H2O–Na–(K)–Cl solution and a vapour-rich CO2–(H2O, CH4, N2) fluid. The aqueous end-member composition resembles that of metamorphic fluids of the Variscan front zone with salinities
ranging from 4 to 7% NaCl equiv. and maximum homogenisation temperatures of close to 400°C. Pressure estimates indicate a
burial depth between 4,500 and 8,000 m at geothermal gradients between 50 and 75°C/26 MPa, but pressure decrease to sublithostatic
conditions is also indicated, probably as a consequence of fracture opening during episodic seismic activity. A second fluid
system, mainly preserved in pseudo-secondary and secondary fluid inclusions, is characterised by fluid temperatures between
200 and 250°C and salinities of <5% NaCl equiv. Bulk stable isotope analyses of fluids released from vein quartz, calcite,
and dolomite by decrepitation yielded δDH2O values from −89 to −113 ‰, δ13CCH4 from −26.9 to −28.9‰ (VPDB) and δ13CCO2 from −12.8 to −23.3‰ (VPDB). The low δD and δ13C range of the fluids is considered to be due to interaction with cracked hydrocarbons. The second fluid influx caused partial
isotope exchange and disequilibrium. It is envisaged that an initial short lived flux of hot metamorphic fluids expelled from
the epizonal metamorphic domains of the Stavelot–Venn massif. The metamorphic fluid was focused along major thrust faults
of the Variscan front zone such as the Aachen thrust. A second fluid influx was introduced from formation waters in the footwall
of the Aachen thrust as a consequence of progressive deformation. Mixing of the cooler and lower salinity formation water
with the hot metamorphic fluid during episodic fluid trapping resulted in an evolving range of physicochemical fluid inclusion
characteristics. 相似文献

Grain boundary diffusion rates of oxygen, potassium and calcium in fine-grained feldspar aggregates were determined experimentally.
The starting materials were a natural albite rock from the Tanco pegmatite and aggregates hot-pressed from fragments of Amelia
albite or Ab, Or and An composition glasses. The technique employed isotopic tracers (18O, 41K, 42Ca) either evaporated onto the surface or in an aqueous solution surrounding the sample, and depth profiling using an ion
microprobe (SIMS). From the depth profiles, the product of the grain boundary diffusion coefficient (D′) and effective boundary
width (δ) was calculated using numerical solutions to the appropriate diffusion equation. The experimental reproducibility
of D′δ is a factor of 3. A separate determination of D′ independent of δ yields an effective grain boundary width of ∼3 nm,
consistent with high resolution TEM observations of a physical grain boundary width <5 nm. Oxygen (as molecular water) grain
boundary diffusion rates were determined in the Ab and Or aggregates at 450°–800° C and 100 MPa (hydrothermal), potassium
rates in Or aggregates at 450°–700° C both at 0.1 MPa (in air) and at 100 MPa (hydrothermal), and calcium rates in An aggregates
at 700°–1100° C and 0.1 MPa (in air). Oxygen grain boundary diffusion rates are similar in all three of the Ab aggregates
and in the Or aggregate. Potassium and oxygen depth profiles measured in the same samples yield different D′δ values, confirming
a diffusional transport mechanism. Potassium diffusion in the Or aggregate has a greater activation energy (216 vs 78 kJ/mol)
than oxygen, and the Arrhenius relations cross at ∼625° C. Potassium D′δ values in Or aggregates are about a factor of five
greater in hydrothermal experiments at 100 MPa than in experiments at 0.1 MPa in air. Calcium grain boundary diffusion rates
in An aggregates are 4 to 5 orders of magnitude slower than potassium in Or and have a greater (291 kJ/mol) activation energy.
This suggests that differences in formal charge and/or size of diffusing species may play an important role in their relative
grain boundary diffusion rates.

The rate of compositional and isotopic exchange between minerals may be enhanced significantly if the rock is deformed simultaneously.
The enhanced exchange rate may result from a reduction in grain size (shorter distance for volume diffusion), dissolution
and growth of grains by diffusion creep (pressure solution), or the movement of high-angle grain boundaries through strained
grains during recrystallization in the dislocation creep regime. The migration of high-angle grain boundaries provides high
diffusivity paths for the rapid exchange of components during recrystallization. The operation of the latter process has been
demonstrated by deforming aggregates consisting of two plagioclases (An1 and An79) at 900°C, 1 GPa confining pressure, and a strain rate of ∼2x10-6s-1. The polygonal, recrystallized grains were analyzed using an analytical transmission electron microscope and have a variable
but often intermediate composition. At the conditions of these experiments, the volume interdiffusion rate of NaSi/CaAl is
too slow to produce any observable chemical change, and microstructural-chemical relations indicate that the contribution
from diffusion creep was insignificant except for initially fine-grained (2–10 μm) aggregates. These results indicate that
strain-induced recrystallization can be an effective mechanism for enhancing the kinetics of metamorphic reactions and for
resetting the isotope systematics of minerals such as feldspars, pyroxenes, and amphiboles. 相似文献

The effect of intergranular water on the conductivity of polycrystalline brucite, Mg(OH)2, was investigated using impedance spectroscopy at 2 GPa, during consecutive heating–cooling cycles in the 298–980 K range.
The grain boundary hydration levels tested here span water activities from around unity (wet conditions) down to 10−4 (dry conditions) depending on temperature. Four orders of magnitude in water activity result in electrical conductivity variations
for about 6–7 orders of magnitude at 2 GPa and room temperature. Wet brucite samples containing, initially, about 18 wt% of
evaporable water (i.e. totally removed at temperatures below 393 K in air), display electrical conductivity values above 10−2–10−3 S/m. A.C. electrical conductivity as a function of temperature follows an Arrhenius behaviour with an activation energy of
0.11 eV. The electrical conductivity of the same polycrystalline brucite material dried beforehand at 393 K (dry conditions)
is lower by about 5–6 orders of magnitude at room temperature and possesses an activation energy of 0.8–0.9 eV which is close
to that of protonic diffusion in (001) brucitic planes. Above ca. 873 K, a non-reversible conductivity jump is observed which
is interpreted as a water transfer from mineral bulk to grain boundaries (i.e. partial dehydration). Cooling of such partially
dehydrated sample shows electrical conductivities much higher than those of the initially dry sample by 4 orders of magnitude
at 500 K. Furthermore, the corresponding activation energy is decreased by a factor of about four (i.e. 0.21 eV). Buffering
of the sample at low water activity has been achieved by adding CaO or MgO, two hygroscopic compounds, to the starting material.
Then, sample conductivities reached the lowest values encountered in this study with the activation energy of 1.1 eV. The
strong dependency of the electrical conductivity with water activity highlights the importance of the latter parameter as
a controlling factor of diffusion rates in natural processes where water availability and activity may vary grandly. Water
exchange between mineral bulk and mineral boundary suggests that grain boundary can be treated as an independent phase in
dehydroxylation reactions. 相似文献

Quartzofeldspathic ultramylonites from the Alpine Fault Zone, one of the world's major, active plate boundary-scale fault zones have quartz crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) and abundant low-angle (<10° misorientation) boundaries, typical microstructures for dislocation creep-dominated deformation. Geometrically necessary dislocation density estimates indicate mean dislocation densities of ∼109 cm−2. A significant proportion (∼30%) of grain boundaries (>10° misorientation) are decorated by faceted pores, commonly with uniformly-oriented pyramidal shapes. Only grain boundaries with >10° misorientation angles in polymineralic aggregates are decorated by pores. Mean grain boundary pore densities are ∼5 × 108 cm−2. Grain boundary pores are dissolution pits generated during syn-deformational transient grain boundary permeability, nucleating on dislocation traces at dilatant grain boundary interfaces. They have not been removed by subsequent grain boundary closure or annealing. Pore decoration could have led to grain boundary pinning, triggering a switch in the dominant deformation mechanism to grain boundary sliding, which is supported by evidence of CPO destruction in matrix quartz. Pore-decorated grain boundaries have significantly reduced surface area available for adhesion and cohesion, which would reduce the tensile and shear strength of grain boundaries, and hence, the bulk rock. Grain boundary decoration also significantly decreased the mean distance between pores, potentially facilitating dynamic permeability. Consequently, these microstructures provide a new explanation for strain weakening and evidence of fluid flow along grain boundaries in mylonites at mid-crustal conditions. 相似文献

Using a recently developed ion microprobe technique, a detailed oxygen isotope map of calcite grains in a coarse-grained
marble has been constructed, supported by trace element (Mn, Sr, Fe) analysis and cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging, in order
to constrain scales of oxygen isotope equilibrium, timescales and mechanisms of metamorphic fluid infiltration, and fluid
sources and pathways. Results are compared with a previous study of this sample (Wada 1988) carried out using a cryo-microtome
technique and conventional oxygen isotope analysis. The marble, from the high temperature/low pressure Hida metamorphic belt
in north-central Japan, underwent granulite facies followed by amphibolite facies metamorphic events, the latter associated
with regional granite intrusion. The CL imaging indicates two types of calcite, a yellow luminescing (YLC) and a purple luminescing
(PLC) variety. The YLC, which occupies grain boundaries, fractures, replacement patches, and most of the abundant deformation
twin lamellae, post-dates the dominant PLC calcite and maps out fluid pathways. Systematic relationships were established
between oxygen isotope and trace element composition, calcite type and texture, based on 74 18O/16O and 17 trace element analyses with 20–30 μ m spatial resolution. The YLC is enriched in Mn and Fe, and depleted in 18O and Sr compared to PLC, and is much more 18O depleted than is indicated from conventional analyses. Results are interpreted to indicate infiltration of 18O-depleted (metamorphic or magmatic) fluid (initial δ18O = 9‰–10.5‰) along grain boundaries, fractures and deformation twin lamellae, depleting calcite grains in Sr and enriching
them in Mn and Fe. The sample is characterised by gross isotopic and elemental disequilibrium, with important implications
for the application of chromatographic theory to constrain fluid fluxes in metacarbonate rocks.
Areas of PLC unaffected by “short-circuiting” fluid pathways contain oxygen diffusion profiles of ∼10‰/∼200 μm in grain boundary
regions or adjacent to fractures/patches. When correction is made for estimated grain boundary/fracture and profile orientation
in 3D, profiles are indistinguishable within error. Modelling of these profiles gives consistent estimates of Dt (where D is the diffusion coefficient and t is time) of ∼0.8 × 10−8 m2, from which, using experimental data for oxygen diffusion in calcite, timescales of fluid transport along grain boundaries
at amphibolite facies temperatures of ∼103 to ∼104 years are obtained. These short timescales, which are much shorter than plausible durations of metamorphism, imply that
rock permeabilities may be transiently much higher during fluid flow than those calculated from time integrated fluid fluxes
or predicted from laboratory measurements. The preservation of 18O/16O profiles requires either rapid cooling rates (∼100–600 °C/million years), or, more plausibly, loss of grain boundary fluid
such that a dry cooling history followed the transient passage of fluid. The δ18O/trace element correlations are also consistent with volume diffusion-controlled transport in the PLC. Fluid transport and
element exchange occurred by two inter-related mechanisms on short timescales and on different lengthscales – long-distance
flow along cracks, grain boundaries and twin lamellae coupled to ∼200 μm-scale volume diffusion of oxygen.
