Pressure-induced incipient amorphization of α-quartz and transition to coesite in an eclogite from Antarctica: a first record and some consequences

Monocrystalline quartz inclusions in garnet and omphacite from various eclogite samples from the Lanterman Range (Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica) have been investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL), Raman spectroscopy and imaging, and in situ X‐ray (XR) microdiffraction using the synchrotron. A few inclusions, with a clear‐to‐opalescent lustre, show ‘anomalous’ Raman spectra characterized by weak α‐quartz modes, the broadening of the main α‐quartz peak at 465 cm^?1, and additional vibrations at 480–485, 520–523 and 608 cm^?1. CL and Raman imaging indicate that this ‘anomalous’α‐quartz occurs as relicts within ordinary α‐quartz, and that it was preserved in the internal parts of small quartz inclusions. XR diffraction circular patterns display irregular and broad α‐quartz spots, some of which show an anomalous d‐spacing tightening of ～2%. They also show some very weak, hazy clouds that have d‐spacing compatible with coesite but not with α‐quartz. Raman spectrometry and XR microdiffraction characterize the anomalies with respect to α‐quartz as (i) a pressure‐induced disordering and incipient amorphization, mainly revealed by the 480–485 and 608‐cm^?1 Raman bands, together with (ii) a lattice densification, evidenced by d‐spacing tightening; (iii) the cryptic development of coesite, 520–523 cm^?1 being the main Raman peak of coesite and (iv) Brazil micro‐twinning. This ‘anomalous’α‐quartz represents the first example of pressure‐induced incipient amorphization of a metastable phase in a crustal rock. This issue is really surprising because pressure‐induced amorphization of metastable α‐quartz, observed in impactites and known to occur between 15 and 32 GPa during ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) experiments at room temperature, is in principle irrelevant under normal geological P–T conditions. A shock (due to a seism?) or a local overpressure at the inclusion scale (due to expansion mismatch between quartz and its host mineral) seem the only geological mechanisms that can produce such incipient amorphization in crustal rocks. This discovery throws new light on the modality of the quartz‐coesite transition and on the pressure regimes (non‐lithostatic v. lithostatic) during high‐pressure/UHP metamorphism. In particular, incipient amorphization of quartz could favour the quartz‐coesite transition, or allow the growth of metastable coesite, as already experimentally observed.     

机载激光测深系统强度数据AGC补偿异常区域识别及改正

机载激光测深系统（Airborne Laser Bathymetry,ALB）因集成了具有独特水体穿透能力的绿波段（532 nm）而被广泛用于水深测量。除地形数据外,ALB还记录了地物目标的辐射特性（后向散射强度）,可用于条带配准、海底底质分类和几何建模。然而,由于自动增益控制（Automatic Gain Control,AGC）设计局限,增益值调整存在延缓,对于裸露岩石、水域等高返回、低返回目标较多的海岛海岸带区域,强度补偿异常问题格外突出。针对该问题本文设计了一种基于双向移动的局部加权强度改正方法,提出索引共享机制辅以地形信息实现有效强度数据精确提取;以扫描周期为依据进行扫描线分割,通过柯尔莫可洛夫−斯米洛夫检验进行强度补偿异常区识别;通过对邻近扫描线和邻域强度联合加权进行强度改正,保证强度细节的同时较好地消除与邻域强度偏差,独特的双向移动策略能有效削弱改正不足积累造成的强度改正精度下降问题。实验证明该方法能有效解决AGC补偿异常问题,相较于改正前,改正后的强度数据平均绝对百分比误差降低了约0.27,均方根误差下降了约693,异常区强度与邻域强度偏差控制在26 DN（Digital Number）以内,得到高质量强度图像。

One more explanation of superluminal motion

The occurrence of superluminal motion in extragalactic radio sources is believed to be quite common. Among others, the geometrical scattering of radio radiation can also cause superluminal expansion and or motion and halo formation, In this paper, the effectiveness of the stimulated Raman scattering in producing these features is investigated. The scattering medium is a plasma whose position, density and temperature decide the rate and angle of scattering. When the radiation from a stationary and constant source gets scattered from a stationary plasma, a halo is formed around the source. However, the scattering of a rotating radiation beam does produce superluminal motion of the virtual source. It is found that the plasma should have the characteristics of the emission-line regions and the intercloud medium in order to Raman scatter the radiation. Since the scattering is polarization dependent, it is possible to estimate the rotation of the electric vector along the direction of the apparent motion of a radio source.
