Abstract: | Thermal diffusivity (D) was measured using laser-flash analysis from oriented single-crystal low-sanidine (K0.92Na0.08Al0.99Fe3+ 0.005Si2.95O8), and three glasses near KAlSi3O8. Viscosity measurements of the three supercooled liquids, in the range 106.8 to 1012.3 Pa s, confirm near-Arrhenian behavior, varying subtly with composition. For crystal and glass, D decreases with T, approaching a constant near 1,000 K: D sat ∼ 0.65 ± 0.3 mm2 s−1 for bulk crystal and ∼0.53 ± 0.03 mm2 s−1 for the glass. A rapid decrease near 1,400 K is consistent with crossing the glass transition. Melt behavior is approximated by D = 0.475 ± 0.01 mm2 s−1. Thermal conductivity (k lat) of glass, calculated using previous heat capacity (C P) and new density data, increases with T because C P strongly increases with T. For melt, k lat reaches a plateau near 1.45 W m−1 K−1, and is always below k lat of the crystal. Melting of potassium feldspars impedes heat transport, providing positive thermal feedback that may promote further melting in continental crust. |
