变质岩中变斑晶成核生长及旋转问题的述评

发生递进变形的变质岩中,斑晶成核生长于变形分解作用的递进缩短带内,斑晶的大小受两侧递进剪切变形带的限制。除少数螺旋状石榴石外,产于共轴或非共轴递进不均匀缩短变形过程中的斑晶不发生旋转,斑晶内部包体形迹(Si)反映外部面理(Se)的再活化。利用未旋转斑晶中的包体形迹可以确定早期面理的取向,寻找构造演化的时间标志,确定褶皱轴迹等,本文给出了斑晶中包体形迹弯曲的成因模式图。     

Thin coating on ultrafine aerosol particles

This article presents the results of an experimental investigation on gas-phase coating of nanometer-sized NaCl aerosol particles with a condensing vapor of ZnCl₂. The coating process has been carried out in a commercially available Venturi aspirator, where the NaCl at ambient temperature is mixed with the supersaturated ZnCl₂ vapor. The operating conditions (ZnC1₂ vapor temperature, and ZnCl₂/NaCl flow rate ratio) at which the ZnCl₂ vapor preferentially nucleates onto the surface of the seed NaCl particles forming a coating layer on them, have been determined. Particle size growth as a function of the original seed diameter has also been determined. Smaller particles undergo a larger relative size growth ratio. It has also been shown that the presence of a coating layer does not affect the charge distribution of the original seed particles.     

Earthquake source nucleation as self organization process

The theory of an earthquake source nucleation is discussed. Based on the assumption that self organization of damage process takes place in the zone of an earthquake source nucleation the theory incorporates the damage rheology framework of Lyakhovsky et al. and the approach of phenomenology theory of second-order phase transition. Namely, the free energy governing the process of an earthquake source nucleation depends on two collective variables α and φ in addition to the strain tensor ε_ij. The variable α quantifies the fracture of the medium and the variable φ quantifies the interaction effect of cracks. The region Ω_S is associated with a potential source of an earthquake if the damage variable α exceeds the critical value α_cr⁽¹⁾ inside Ω_S. The important feature of a potential source is that interaction of fractures causes acceleration of damage process inside the region of potential source and the material should lose stability primarily in this region. Interaction of fractures results also in occurrence of a residual stress caused by nonuniformity of fracture density. The appearance and development of the potential source result in increase of intensity of damage process not only in the region of potential source but also in a certain neighborhood of the last. It is compatible with such observed effects as acceleration of seismic energy release and growth of correlation length of weak seismicity before large earthquake. Transition of potential source to the stage of avalanche-unstable fracturing is associated with instability generated by explosive increase of interaction of fractures when the damage variable α exceeds the second critical value α_cr⁽²⁾ inside Ω_S.     

热水条件下黑云母断层泥的摩擦强度与稳定性

黑云母是自然界常见的层状硅酸盐矿物,其摩擦系数不高且化学稳定性好,对其摩擦性质的关注可能会对弱断层的研究有所帮助.本次工作选取的实验温度条件对应于典型地壳强度模型中脆塑性转化带的范围,为300 ℃和400 ℃.有效正应力为200 MPa,孔隙水压包括10 MPa和30 MPa,在此条件下对黑云母模拟断层泥进行摩擦实验研究.实验得出黑云母的摩擦系数平均在0.36左右.速度依赖性随温度升高速度弱化的程度增强,表现为300 ℃为十分微弱的速度弱化,而在400 ℃出现了黏滑行为,代表了更强的速度弱化.显微结构中同时出现了脆性剪切变形和塑性扭折变形,但决定宏观力学性质的显然是脆性剪切变形.在黑云母存在的情况下,本研究的实验结果有助于理解大陆地壳脆塑性转化带中地震的可能性和弱断层深部的变形机制、宏观力学行为以及地震活动.     

安宁河断层地震成核条件研究——来自天然花岗岩断层泥摩擦实验的启示

安宁河断层历史上发生过多次强震,现存的地震空区反映了其断层中部近30年来的断层闭锁和应变积累情况,是潜在的大地震危险区.本研究采用断层带内的新鲜花岗岩断层泥样品,在水热条件下开展了摩擦滑动实验,以研究安宁河断层摩擦特性和地震成核条件.实验有效正应力200 MPa,孔隙水压30 MPa,温度25~600℃,剪切滑移速率在1 μm·s^-1,0.2 μm·s^-1,0.04 μm·s^-1之间切换.实验结果显示,在100~400℃,摩擦系数随着温度的增加而增大（约0.663~0.704）,温度高于400℃时略有降低.从200℃开始,花岗岩断层泥的摩擦滑动表现出由速度强化向速度弱化转变,并随温度升高速度弱化程度增强,在600℃时仍然具有显著的速度弱化,具备地震成核条件.本研究获得的花岗岩断层发生不稳定滑动的温度范围为200~600℃,远大于已有研究中给出的350~400℃这一不稳定滑动的温度上限.本实验首次发现,在相同温度条件下花岗岩断层滑动稳定性与加载速率转变方向有关,向慢速切换或低速下（0.04 μm·s^-1）可以促进花岗岩断层由稳定滑动向不稳定滑动转变.基于本实验结果,结合川滇地区的地温梯度,推测得出安宁河断层中北段的地震成核深度为10~30 km,该断层的地震空区是断层闭锁的具体表现.

     

多组分有机质作用下碳酸钙的矿化现象

采用SEM、XRD、FT-IR等手段对氨基酸、多糖以及有机酸混合体系中形成的碳酸钙晶体进行了表征,进而比较了多组分有机质作用下碳酸钙的矿化现象。结果表明,氨基酸-单糖体系(A-M)促进了碳酸钙的沉积,其钙化速率相较于对照组提高了36%;有机酸则抑制了碳酸钙的沉积,单糖-有机酸体系(M-O)、氨基酸-有机酸体系(A-O)和氨基酸-有机酸-单糖体系(A-O-M)的钙化速率分别下降了33%、29%、17%。其次,A-M体系合成的晶体以方解石为主,包含少量的球霰石,M-O、A-O和A-O-M体系则在柠檬酸的调控下合成了方解石。最后,A-M体系合成了块状晶体(粒径为10μm)及中空的环状晶体(粒径为5μm),而A-O和M-O体系合成了棒状晶体(长轴径5～15μm,短轴径3～5μm)。A-O-M体系存在含量最高的有机质,导致成核速率高于生长速率,因此合成的晶体呈粒状(粒径1～3μm)且发育不完整。研究揭示了多组分共存体系中的生物矿化现象,阐明了柠檬酸在多组分体系中对晶体成核及生长的主导调控作用,对研究黄龙高寒环境下的生物矿化机制具有重要意义。

则木河断裂带大箐断层枢纽运动的有限元数值模拟研究

变形局部化问题和地震成核问题,是构造变形机制与大地震研究中极其重要的问题.对走滑断裂的运动和走滑型地震而言,断裂枢纽运动是断裂带上变形局部化和地震成核孕育的条件,认识这一运动过程和机制是了解走滑断裂上地震孕育、发生机制的关键之一.本文在前人工作的基础上,以则木河左旋走滑断裂大箐断层为例,测量了大箐断层大箐梁子断头沟台地-五道箐盆地之间的构造和地貌变形,揭示了大箐走滑断层枢纽运动构造和地貌四象限分布的特点,并且在定量分析其枢纽运动的基础上,利用数值模拟方法,模拟了断裂的枢纽运动,结果表明,走滑断裂的枢纽运动表现出典型的掀斜特征,随着断层面倾角的减小,枢纽运动程度加深;随着断层面闭锁区面积的增大,枢纽运动明显受阻;发现在闭锁区及其附近存在一个应力集中区使得应力由外向内一直处于积累状态,反映了地震的成核过程.     

Using the match-and-locate method to characterize foreshocks of the July 2019 MW6.4 Ridgecrest,California earthquake

The July 2019 M_W6.4 Ridgecrest, California earthquake and its distinct foreshocks were well recorded by local and regional stations, providing a great opportunity to characterize its foreshocks and investigate the nucleation mechanisms of the mainshock. In this study, we utilized the match-and-locate (M&L) method to build a high-precision foreshock catalog for this M_W6.4 earthquake. Compared with the sequential location methods (matched-filter + cross-correlation-based hypoDD), our new catalog contains more events with higher location accuracy. The M_W6.4 mainshock was preceded by 40 foreshocks within ～2 h (on July 4, 2019 from 15:35:29 to 17:32:52, UTC). Their spatiotemporal distribution revealed a complex seismogenic structure consisting of multiple fault strands, which were connected as a throughgoing fault by later foreshocks and eventually accommodated the 2019 M_W6.4 mainshock. To better understand the nucleation mechanism, we determined the rupture dimension of the largest M_L4.0 foreshock by calculating its initial rupture and centroid points using the M&L method. By estimating Coulomb stress change we suggested that the majority of foreshocks following the M_L4.0 event and M_W6.4 mainshock occurred within regions of increasing Coulomb stress, indicating that they were triggered by stress transfer. The nucleation process before the M_L4.0 event remains unclear due to the insufficient sampling rate of waveforms and small magnitude of events. Thus, our study demonstrates that the M&L method has superior detection and location ability, showing potential for studies that require high-precision location (e.g., earthquake nucleation).
