Abstract: | Samples of Ni2SiO4 in both olivine and spinel phases have been compressed to pressures above 140 kbar in a diamond-anvil cell and heated to temperatures of 1400–1800°C using a continuous YAG laser. After quenching and releasing pressure, X-ray diffraction examination indicates that the samples disproportionate to a mixture of stishovite (SiO2) and bunsenite (NiO) at pressures between 140 and 190 kbar. The exact disproportionation pressure is not certain due to transient increases in pressure during the local and rapid heating. However, thermodynamic calculations suggest that the transition pressure is about 192 ± 4 kbar at 1545°C and that the equation of the spinel-mixed oxides phase boundary isP(kbar) = 121 + (0.046 ± 0.020) T (°C). |
