一种反条纹长石的形成机制及其冷却史

对承德黑山苏长岩中反条纹长石进行显微镜研究表明,钾长石条纹具乳滴状和细脉状两种形式。前者在成核后的生长中,或多或少趋向等轴状,是一种非共格的离溶作用,而后者对主晶有确定的取向。在透射电镜下,此类条纹与其主晶界面的应变能,说明它是半共格离溶的。斜长石主晶是‘e斜长石’组成的两相交生体,即所谓Bφggild交生。本文还讨论了它的冷却史及由它表明的地质环境。     

斜方顽火辉石-正铁辉石固溶体出溶机制的研究

通过组成－自由能关系曲线的分析，提出斜方顽火辉石－正铁辉石（MgSiO3-FeSiO3)固溶体出溶的临界温度约为753K；组成XFe为0.82左右的富铁辉石固溶体处于介稳态，出溶作用有利于系统自由能降低；出溶作用是以Fe^2 、Mg^2 离子逆扩散的方式进行的；出溶作用的推动力是上凸区域介稳相与平衡相之间的化学位差。     

定量确定中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔榴辉岩磷灰石中出溶体的组成:扫描电镜能谱分析(EDS)的应用

在不同类型变质岩和超基性岩的造岩矿物(如橄榄石、石榴子石、绿辉石等)中都发现了大小不一的固态出溶体。对大小仅为几个微米的出溶体,利用常规方法,电子探针、拉曼光谱等很难定量地确定它们的化学组分,严重地限制了对这些出溶体的地球化学动力学意义的认识。在最近的一系列研究中,发现榴辉岩中磷灰石含大量的出溶体,这些出溶体是平行于磷灰石C轴出溶的含铁、铜、铅等元素的硫化物。采用扫描电镜能谱分析(EDS)的点分析和线扫描技术,确定出溶体的主要组成元素,然后通过扣除磷灰石对所分析出溶域的贡献,能较准确地确定这些出溶体的化学组分,主要为FeS和FeS2。这些实验结果表明,利用扫描电镜的能谱分析(EDS)技术,通过点分析和线扫描,能够较精确地测量与母矿物之间化学成分差异较大的出溶体的化学组成。本文所提出的处理方法也适用于电子探针。     

Exsolution of ilmenite and Cr-Ti magnetite from olivine of garnet-wehrlite

Since coesite-bearing eclogite was found in the Dabie-Sulu area[1-3], the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) me- tamorphic belt has become a hot topic studying by domestic and overseas scientists. The studying about the forming depth of UHP metamorphic rocks is ex- tremely important, because the peak-metamorphic depth of UHP metamorphic rocks exhumated back to the crust is the key to discuss the processes of magma formation, fluid activity and metamorphism at bottom of orogenic belt. The discovery o…     

A comment on diffusion and the displacement of atoms in metamorphic transformations

Experimental data on diffusion in olivine , are used to define certain terms – diffusion coefficient, jump frequency, characteristic distance, random walk – that are useful in a discussion of atom displacements under natural conditions. Examples of atom displacements in two metamorphic terranes of the Canadian Precambrian Shield are then examined, as follows. (i) In a high‐grade metamorphic terrane in the Mid‐Proterozoic Grenville Province (Otter Lake Area), Mg concentration gradients about dolomite microcrystals in calcite and Na gradients about albite microcrystals in K‐feldspar are viewed as stranded Mg–Ca and Na–K interdiffusion gradients, formed by exsolution during slow cooling from ~700 to ~400 °C. (ii) In the Archean Slave Province (Yellowknife area), the crystallization of sillimanite, near andalusite but within crystals of quartz, possibly occurred by coupled Al–Si and oxygen–vacancy interdiffusion in quartz at ~550 °C. And the crystallization of garnet from chlorite occurred by the two‐way crystal‐boundary diffusion of several kinds of atoms across distances ranging to 3 mm. (iii) In the Otter Lake area, the crystallization of orthopyroxene–hornblende–spinel reaction zones at boundaries between crystals of olivine and plagioclase in metagabbro, evidently occurred by the mechanism of interstitial diffusion, that transported Mg, Fe, Mn and O atoms across the reaction zone from olivine to the plagioclase–(hornblende+spinel) boundary, and Si, Al, Ca and Na atoms from plagioclase to the olivine–orthopyroxene boundary, accompanied by NaSi–CaAl interdiffusion in plagioclase, and the addition of hydrogen and minor Ti, Zn, F, Cl and K from beyond the reaction zone. Also, centimetric reaction zones, with abundant biotite and plagioclase, at boundaries between K‐feldspar gneiss and deformed amphibolite dykes, evidently formed by the reaction, strained hornblende (in amphibolite) + K‐feldspar (in gneiss)→biotite (in amphibolite) + plagioclase (in gneiss), with crystal‐boundary diffusion of (Na + Ca) atoms and of K atoms across the reaction zone.     

Vesiculation and crystallization under instantaneous decompression: Numerical study and comparison with laboratory experiments

Vesiculation and crystallization in ascending magmas are key processes that control the eruption behavior, and they interplay each other through the water exsolution process. We conducted a numerical study in order to quantitatively understand the water exsolution and crystallization processes in natural eruptions (decompression history is unknown) and in laboratory experiments (the amount of decompression is constant with time). The numerical results, which take into account homogeneous or heterogeneous nucleation and growth of bubbles with varying diffusivity of water, viscosity, and the amount of decompression, provide a quantitative understanding of their control on bubble formation and water exsolution in the constant amount of decompression. The bubble nucleation in the homogeneous nucleation can be divided into two regimes – the diffusion control regime and viscosity control regime – depending on the modified Peclet number and the effective supersaturation. In the cases of both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleations, the bubble growth is controlled by diffusion or viscosity, depending on the modified Peclet number and bubble number density. The water exsolution rate, which is controlled by the modified Peclet number in the viscosity control regime and by the bubble number density and diffusive driving force in the diffusion control regime, acts as an effective cooling rate in a decompression-induced crystallization process. A comparison of the numerical results with the results of laboratory experiments suggests that water exsolution proceeds by the diffusion-limited growth of bubbles under disequilibrium vesiculation through the heterogeneous nucleation of bubbles, and this in turn controls the crystallization kinetics of microlite with the homogeneous nucleation of microlite and the diffusion-limited growth of crystal. The several orders of variation of microlite number density with the amount of decompression in laboratory experiments can be interpreted as the effect of the amount of decompression on the driving force for the diffusive bubble growth that controls the water exsolution rate.     

Mineralogical Characteristics of Exsolved Spinel in the Panzhihua V-Ti Magnetite Deposit, Sichuan: Implications for the Mineralization Process

Spinel exsolution is widespread in titanomagnetite from the Fe-Ti oxide gabbro of the Panzhihua intrusion, Emeishan Large Igneous Province, SW China. However, little research has been conducted into the implications of patterns in the mineralogical characteristics of the spinel for spatial variation in the controls on the exsolution mechanism and, hence, the formation process of the ore deposit. This study selected the Lanjiahuoshan Ore Block in the Panzhihua V-Ti magnetite deposit to explore this issue, systematically studying exsolution textures in the titanomagnetite through petrographic observation and the integrated use of in-situ microanalysis. The results show that the exsolved spinel gradually becomes finer-grained and less abundant from the center to edge and the bottom to top of the ore bodies. Compositionally, there is an inverse correlation between the size of exsolved spinel grains and their Mg# value. In addition, there is compositional zonation in the spinel interiors, with a gradual increase in the Mg content and decrease in Fe content from the core to the rim. The analysis suggests that fractional crystallization of ferrotitanium magma with a high oxygen fugacity in a shallow magma chamber caused compositional differences in the primary magnetite solid solution in different parts of the Panzhihua intrusion. Additionally, the thermal evolution of the magnetite solid solution differed in different parts of orebody, bringing about variations in spinel development. Together, these effects resulted in spatial variation in the abundance, grain size, and morphology of spinel in different parts of the orebody and intrusion that follows an identifiable distribution law. Furthermore, the compositional zonation of exsolved spinels reflects the rapid growth of exsolution features in a high-temperature environment. Thus, the size, morphology, abundance, and composition of spinel exsolution features in titanomagnetite provide a valuable petrogenetic tool for estimating the maturity and formational environment of the deposit.     

Raman Spectrum Study on Quartz Exsolution in Omphacite of Eclogite and Its Tectonic Significances

The studies on ultra-microstructue characteristics of quartz exsolution in eclogite and coesite in UHP eclogite of several localities are done with the appliance of laser Raman spectroscopy and Ustage. Research results show that the phase transformation of coesite-quartz in garnet and/or omphacite is a continuous process. Topological relationship is present between quartz exsolution in omphacite and its host mineral which shows orientations of two long axes of quartz exsolution parallel to (100) and (-101) of omphacite. At present, some scholars suggest that thequartz exsolution in omphacite of eclogite is the evidence of UHP metamorphism. However, temperature and pressure condition and the exsolution mechanism of oriented needlelike quartz in omphacite still remain undear. Tnerefore, further study should be enhanced on experimental research on exsolution mechanism of super-silicate clinopyroxene, which could provide experimental quantitative constraint on quartz exsolution as UHP indicator.     

挪威某些铜镍矿石中单斜磁黄铁矿出溶体的退火和粗化

在挪威某些正岩浆铜镍矿床的矿石中，六万磁黄铁矿基质内的单斜磁黄铁矿叶片是高温时形成的磁黄铁矿固溶体在降温过程中出溶的产物。出溶叶片宽度和间距的加大、叶片的带状分布、楔形尖端、箱状扭曲和复杂叶片等结构，表明出溶产物在不高于单斜-六方转变温度（254℃）的条件下发生过显著的退火和粗化。重结晶的六方磁黄铁矿基质中所保存的单斜变种甚少，表明变质作用所引起的矿石重结晶，可使磁黄铁矿吸收其中的单斜出溶体而发生均匀化。     

布格改正和地形改正的误差——关于区域重力测量中地形改正最大半径的讨论

在布格改正中,我们假定地壳为无限大水平板。事实上,地球表面是球面而不是平面。当地壳充分小类似于平面时,它不可能同时为无穷大;当地壳充分大时,它又不是一个平面。因此,布格改正势必造成相当大的误差。本文提出几种计算球壳重力的精确公式,用以减少布格改正和地形改正中的计算误差。
