New orthorhombic phases on the join NiAl2O4 (spinel analog)-Ni2SiO4 (olivine analog): Stability and implications to mantle mineralogy

Three new crystalline phases differing in Si/Al ratio have been synthesized from compositions along the join NiAl₂O₄-Ni₂SiO₄. Four reversible univariant equilibria involving these new phases plus Ni₂SiO₄ (olivine) have been located within the P-T region studied (1 atm–40 kb, 1000–1700° C); an invariant point occurs near 22 kb, 1150°C.All three new phases are orthorhombic. Precession photographs and electron microprobe analyses yield the following information:Phase I: 5NiO·3Al₂O₃·SiO₂ = 3NiAl₂O₄·Ni₂SiO₄, Pmma, a=5.67, b=11.51, c=8.10 (Å)Phase II: 7NiO·3Al₂O₃·2SiO₂ = 3NiAl₂O₄· 2Ni₂SiO₄, Imma, a=5.66, b=17.32, c=8.11Phase III: 3NiO· Al₂O₃· SiO₂ = NiAl₂O₄·Ni₂SiO₄, Imma, a=5.68, b=11.49, c=8.12Comparison with known structures suggests that these three phases plus NiAl₂O₄ spinel and high pressure Ni₂SiO₄ spinel belong to a homologous series based on a cubic close oxygen packing of the formula: M_2n O _n}-1 (T _n O_3n+1) where M and T are octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated cations, respectively. When n=1 the formula for spinel is obtained; n = 2 for phase I and phase III, both similar to the beta-phase of orthosilicates; and n = 3 for phase II which is related to the manganostibite structure.Similar phase equilibria and structural relations may occur on other joins of the aluminateorthosilicate type. Furthermore, the occurrence of such structural modifications between the spinel (aluminate) and olivine (orthosilicate) compositions suggests that there could be a corresponding polymorphic series between the olivine and spinel forms of orthosilicates.

基于背景噪声的宁夏及邻区瑞利波层析成像

In this article,the vertical components of the continuous waveform data of 90 seismic stations in Ningxia and its adjacent regions recorded from January 2012 to December 2013 are used to obtain the Rayleigh surface wave group velocity dispersion images in the study area( 101°- 112°E,31°-42°N) according to the method of noise imaging,with period between 6s - 50s and resolution of 0.5°. The Yinchuan basin in the 6s - 26 s period obviously shows a low velocity anomaly,which is not uniform and has a tendency to gradually weaken; the Guanzhong Basin in 6 s-22s shows a strip of low velocity anomaly and demonstrates a transverse inhomogeneity,where velocity in the southeast is slightly faster than that in the northwest. In the 30s - 50s period it shows that in the Yinchuan graben basin and its southern area,there is a large low velocity anomaly area,which moves from northeast to southwest. It shows that between the main active tectonic zones,like mountains and basins,there are obvious geomorphologic boundaries. For example,the deep fault near Liupan Mountain is the dividing line between two large tectonic units of eastern and western of China. The inversion results have good correlation with the geological structure and the stratigraphic landform. The results are consistent with the results of artificial seismic section tomography across the basin. It provides an important basis for the dynamics of active tectonic zones and the mechanism of earthquake occurrence in this area.     

SUSTAINABLE RURAL LIVELIHOOD AND ECOLOGICAL SHELTER CONSTRUCTION IN UPPER REACHES OF CHANGJIANG RIVER ——Case Study of Zhaotong of Yunnan Province

1INTRODUCTION Ecological shelter construction (ESC) in the upper reaches of the Changjiang (Yangtze) River has been an important component of Development Program of West- ern China. In recent years, most of the literatures dis- cussing the meanings and goals of ESC have been fo- cused on the macro-level, and the scholars have concep- tualized it as a comprehensive strategy to promote the sustainable development of regional economy, society and environment, in which forestry's construc…

Field detection of chlorophyll-a concentration in the sea surface layer by an airborne oceanographic lidar

An airborne oceanographic lidar, with a frequency-tripled Q-switched Nd： YAG laser of 355 nm, has been designed to measure chlorophyll-a （Chl-a） concentration in the sea surface layer by the Ocean Remote Sensing Institute, OUC. The field experiment was carried out in the bay which is located south of the Liaodong Peninsula on the 10th of September 2005. After the flight, the raw data were processed and analyzed by the fluorescence-to-Raman ratio method with seawater attenuation coefficients calculated from signal profiles. The results of Chl-a concentration sea water were also compared with those of Chl-a concentration by measurements by lidar are shown. The measurements in clear a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer （MODIS）.

Magnetotelluric sounding results in eastern Tibetan Plateau

The results of Zayü-Qingshuihe MT sounding profile carried out in eastern Tibetan Plateau are presented in this paper. Using 2-D RRI method, the resistivity distribution with depth is obtained along the profile. It is featured by the resistivity zones in the horizontal direction and layers in the vertical direction. The Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and Jinshajiang suture zone are both important electrical conductivity-separating zones in the plateau, and the former is a zone with relatively low resistivity while the latter is an electrical conductivity gradient zone. The highly electrical conductive bodies in the mid and lower crust of northern Qiangtang and Bayan Har Terrain might be caused by regional melting due to shear heating during the process of subduction in tectonic evolution.
