柴北缘超高压变质带的冷却历史：来自副片麻岩中锆石、金红石的U-Pb年代学和温度信息

本文运用LA-ICP-MS和SIMS对柴北缘超高压变质带中东端沙柳河剖面中的副片麻岩进行了锆石和金红石U-Pb年代和微量元素分析。锆石边部的变质时代为425±6Ma,所对应的锆石Ti含量温度计计算出的温度为689±14℃。金红石U-Pb定年给出的年龄为414.0±6.3Ma,代表了副片麻岩在折返过程中冷却到金红石U-Pb封闭温度约570℃的时代。而金红石Zr含量温度计给出同锆石边部较一致的温度685±9℃,代表了峰期变质时代的温度条件。根据锆石的变质时代和变质温度以及金红石的冷却年龄和封闭温度所限定的T-t轨迹,可以得出此副片麻岩在折返过程中的冷却速率约为11℃/Myr。     

Molecular dynamics study of pressure-induced transformation of quartz-type GeO2

We simulated quartz-type GeO₂ and investigated its high-pressure transformation using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method with a model potential. The calculated results under hydrostatic compression indicated that a pressure-induced amorphization of quartz-type GeO₂ originated from the mechanical instability of the quartz lattice as, in previous theoretical studies of SiO₂. Furthermore, quartz-type GeO₂ directly transformed to a rutile-like structure with only subtle displacements of ions under σ _{x y} imposed shear stressed decompression. This is the first reproduction of the quartz-to-rutile transformation. A possible pathway of this transition is proposed in this study. Received: 14 April 1999 / Revised, accepted: 11 August 1999
