High-pressure phase transition of Bi2Fe4O9

The high-pressure behaviour of Bi2Fe4O9 was analysed by in situ powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Pressures up to 34.3(8) GPa were generated using the diamond anvil cell technique. A reversible phase transition is observed at approximately 6.89(6) GPa and the high-pressure structure is stable up to 26.3(1) GPa. At higher pressures the onset of amorphization is observed. The crystal structures were refined from single-crystal data at ambient pressure and pressures of 4.49(2), 6.46(2), 7.26(2) and 9.4(1) GPa. The high-pressure structure is isotypic to the high-pressure structure of Bi2Ga4O9. The lower phase transition pressure of Bi2Fe4O9 with respect to that of Bi2Ga4O9 (16 GPa) confirms the previously proposed strong influence of cation substitution on the high-pressure stability and the misfit of Ga3+ and Fe3+ in tetrahedral coordination at high pressure. A fit of a second-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state to the p–V data results in K0 = 74(3) GPa for the low-pressure phase and K0 = 79(2) GPa for the high-pressure phase. The mode Grüneisen parameters were obtained from Raman-spectroscopic measurements.     

Spin-state crossover and hyperfine interactions of ferric iron in MgSiO(3) perovskite

Using density functional theory plus Hubbard U calculations, we show that the ground state of (Mg,Fe)(Si,Fe)O(3) perovskite, the major mineral phase in Earth's lower mantle, has high-spin ferric iron (S=5/2) at both dodecahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites. With increasing pressure, the B-site iron undergoes a spin-state crossover to the low-spin state (S=1/2) between 40 and 70 GPa, while the A-site iron remains in the high-spin state. This B-site spin-state crossover is accompanied by a noticeable volume reduction and an increase in quadrupole splitting, consistent with recent x-ray diffraction and M?ssbauer spectroscopy measurements. The anomalous volume reduction leads to a significant softening in bulk modulus during the crossover, suggesting a possible source of seismic-velocity anomalies in the lower mantle.     

Bar-shaped nanoparticles of iron(II) hydroxide

Formation of elongated nanoparticles was observed when was precipitated from solutions containing excess of Fe²⁺. The average diameter of the particles was 23 nm; the length to diameter ratio was up to 14. This shape was an unexpected phenomenon because bar- or needle-like nanoparticles have been earlier reported only for Fe(III)-based materials. Chemical analysis revealed Fe(OH)₂ nature of the obtained particles. In addition, this conclusion was verified with a new simple method for quantitative evaluation of the particle morphology. Application of this method to the mixed samples allowed to distinguish between the two different compounds and to attribute different morphologies to Fe(OH)₂ or Results indicate that bars are frequent shapes of nano-sized iron oxides/hydroxides.

The baddeleyite-type high pressure phase of Ca(OH)2

Abstract

A phase transition from Ca(OH)₂ I (portlandite) to Ca(OH)₂ II at high pressure and temperature has been confirmed, using in situ x-ray diffraction in a multianvil high pressure device (DIA). The structure was determined at 9.5 GPa and room temperature from data collected after heating the sample at 300°C at 7.2 GPa in a diamond anvil cell. Both the Le Bail fit and preliminary Rietveld refinement suggest that the new phase, which reverts to Ca(OH), I during pressure release, has a structure related to that of baddeleyite (ZrO₁); it is monoclinic (P2₁/c) with a= 4.887(2), b= 5.834(2), c = 5.587(2), β = 99.74(2)°. The coordination number of Ca increases from six to seven (5 + 2) across the transition. At 500°C, the phase boundary is bracketed at 5.7 ± 0.4 GPa by reversal experiments performed in the DIA.     

Temperature-induced iron oxidation in bafertisite Ba2Fe${}_{4}^{2+}$Ti2(Si2O7)2O2(OH)2F2: X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy study

The high-temperature behavior of bafertisite was studied by combination of techniques in order to characterize the temperature-induced iron oxidation associated with deprotonation of an octahedral layer. The chemical formula of bafertisite from Darai-Pioz alkaline complex (Tajikistan) determined by electron-microprobe analyzes and Mössbauer spectroscopy is Ba _2.11(Fe\({}_{2.70}^{2+}\)Fe\({}_{0.17}^{3+}\)Mn _1.09Zr _0.04Na _0.03) (Ti _1.96Nb _0.07)(Si ₂ O ₇)₂ O ₂(OH _1.29 O _0.65 F _0.06)F ₂. In situ high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction revealed abrupt shift of reflections to the high-angle region and reduction of their intensity at T >?525 ^°C. The Mössbauer spectroscopy studies indicated that the crystal structure of bafertisite contains Fe in octahedral sites as predominantly ferric ions with Fe ³⁺/ ΣFe =?0.06, whereas bafertisite annealed at T =?600 ^°C has Fe in the same position with Fe ³⁺/ ΣFe up to 0.39. The differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyzes reveal the occurrence of a broad exothermic effect at T ～ 537 ^°C associated with the mass loss corresponding to deprotonation. Since in the studied sample of bafertisite, Fe ²⁺ apfu strongly prevails over OH apfu, the stoichiometric (charged-balanced) high-temperature oxidized modification cannot be obtained. In the paper, the high-temperature behavior of bafertisite is discussed and compared to that of astrophyllite.     

“黑碧”OH振动光谱产生分裂原因探究

“黑碧”指颜色为黑色,主要成分为阳起石的碧玉。电子探针、激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱仪分析显示“黑碧”为阳起石碧玉。拉曼光谱和红外光谱的OH振动处产生3个主峰,归属于MgMgMg-OH,MgMgFe2+-OH（Fe2+_M1Mg_M1Mg_M3-OH,Mg_M1Mg_M1Fe2+_M3-OH）,MgFe2+Fe2+-OH（Mg_M1Fe2+ _M1Fe2+_M3-OH,Fe2+_M1Fe2+_M1Mg_M3-OH）,但与常见和田玉不同,“黑碧”的三个主峰在拉曼光谱OH的振动区（3 600～3 700 cm-1）和红外光谱OH的倍频振动区（7 200～7 100 cm-1）产生分裂现象。将“黑碧”分为5个区域：HB-1,HB-2,HB-3,HB-4和HB-5,进行原位的电子探针和拉曼光谱分析,拉曼光谱在3 600～3 700 cm-1出现3个主峰（A,B,C）,将主峰进行分峰拟合处理,显示分裂成6个次级峰（A′和A″,B′和B″,C′和C″）,次级峰之间的平均波数差为5 cm-1。前人对角闪石在OH振动处主峰分裂现象的观点各不相同。结合“黑碧”的原位电子探针数据和相关研究文献,认为角闪石中B(M4)位置上的阳离子分布是分裂谱产生的主要原因。角闪石中的B(M4)位置虽然没有直接与W位置的OH相连接,但B(M4)位置上的阳离子通过影响TO₄上的桥氧,间接影响W位置上的OH,从而引起OH振动光谱产生一定变化。对比存在类似分裂谱的角闪石样品和“黑碧”的晶体化学式,发现所有的样品在B(M4)位置上均存在Ca2+和Mn2+分布,而其他位置的阳离子占位情况都不相同,表明“黑碧”OH振动光谱产生分裂与B(M4)位置上的Ca2+和Mn2+分布有关。故认为“黑碧”中OH振动光谱产生分裂原因为Ca2+和Mn2+在B(M4)位置上的占位,且高波数峰位归属于Ca2+,低波数峰位归属于Mn2+,即A′,B′,C′归属于Ca2+,A″,B″,C″归属于Mn2+。

广西黑青色阳起石玉振动光谱特征研究

选取产自广西大化瑶族自治县岩滩镇的黑青色阳起石玉为研究对象,采用电子探针、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪和激光拉曼光谱仪就其化学成分和振动光谱特征进行测试分析,并对小半径金属阳离子在阳起石晶体结构中的占位情况予以讨论。结果表明,广西黑青色阳起石玉的主要矿物组成为富铁阳起石,并含有少量铁阳起石;化学成分中的高含量FeO_T(Wt%：18.596%~26.791%)是导致其折射率值(1.64)、密度值(3.12 g·cm-3)偏高且在自然光下呈黑色、透射光下呈绿色的主要原因。受晶体结构中Fe2+对Mg2+的类质同象替代作用影响,广西黑青色阳起石玉1 400~400 cm-1范围内的红外吸收谱带与100~1 200 cm-1范围内的拉曼谱峰位置较透闪石向低频区发生偏移,频差不等;且中红外、近红外吸收光谱和拉曼光谱中均可见四个(MgMgMg)OH(A带),(MgMgFe2+)OH(B带),(MgFe2+Fe2+)OH(C带)和(Fe2+Fe2+Fe2+)OH(D带)振动谱带,其中基频振动谱带分别位于3 674,3 660,3 644和3 625 cm-1附近,倍频振动谱带分别位于7 183,7 154,7 118和7 077 cm-1附近,相对强度为A＜D＜B＜C。化学成分和M-OH红外振动谱带积分面积计算结果显示广西黑青色阳起石玉晶体结构中Mg2+优先占据M₂位置,Fe2+优先占据M₁位置;Mg2+和Fe2+在M₁和M₃位置上的分布相对有序,占位系数接近于1。综合分析认为广西黑青色阳起石玉的变质程度属绿片岩相范畴。     

Low-Temperature <Emphasis Type="Italic">P–T</Emphasis> Phase Diagram of the (Mg,Fe)SiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> Perovskite

The electron spin states of iron in minerals of the Earth’s mantle at high pressures mostly determine the physicochemical properties of deep layers of the Earth and are of great interest not only for geophysics but also for fundamental physics of strongly correlated electron systems. In this work, using Raman and synchrotron Mössbauer nuclear forward scattering (NFS) spectroscopies, iron-containing magnesium–silicate perovskite (Mg, Fe)SiO₃ (10% Fe) has been studied in the cryogenic temperature range of 35–300 K and at high pressures up to 48 GPa, which are created in diamond anvil cells. The analysis of NFS spectra has indicated that iron ions are in a nonmagnetic (para- or diamagnetic) state in the entire region of temperatures and pressures and the electronic properties can be controlled by means of the quadrupole splitting parameter. It has been found that an increase in the pressure and a decrease in the temperature are accompanied by a significant increase in the parameter Δ from 2 mm/s to ~4 mm/s, which indicates that the electronic state of Fe²⁺ ions changes. The maximum Δ value has been observed at P > 20 GPa, but the pressure behavior of a transition strongly depends on the temperature. Possible mechanisms of the transition have been discussed.     

The structure of Ni(II)−Fe(III) hydroxy-chloride green rusts by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

The crystallographic structure of Ni(II)?Fe(III) hydroxy-chloride green rusts obtained by oxidation of a Fe_xNi_1?x(OH)₂ precipitate is isomorphous with that of the ferrousferric green rust one and independent of the value of P=Fe/Ni. Mössbauer spectra exhibit two quadrupole doublets after further oxidation of the compounds which correspond to a formula (3-x)Ni(OH)₂ · xFeOOH · Fe(OH)₂Cl. The Fe³⁺ ions are found to occupy preferentially the sites close to the Cl^? ions and the Ni²⁺ those far from them. However the ordering of the Fe³⁺ ions is not perfect.     

Anomalous behavior and phase transformation of α-GaOOH nanocrystals under static compression

The structural compression mechanism and compressibility of gallium oxyhydroxide, α-GaOOH, are investigated by in situ synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction at pressures up to 31.0 GPa by using the diamond anvil cell technique. Theα-GaOOH sustains its orthorhombic structure when the pressure is lower than 23.8 GPa. The compression is anisotropic under hydrostatic conditions, with the a-axis being most compressible. The compression proceeds mainly by shrinkage of the void channels formed by the coordination GaO_3(OH)_3 octahedra of the crystal structure. Anomaly is found in the compression behavior to occur at 14.6GPa, which is concomitant with the equatorial distortion of the GaO_3(OH)_3 octahedra. A kink occurs at 14.6 GPa in the plot of finite strain f versus normalized stress F, indicating the change in the bulk compression behavior. The fittings of a second order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state to the P–V data in different pressure ranges result in the bulk moduli B_0= 199(1) GPa for P 14.6 GPa and B_0= 167(2) GPa for P 14.6 GPa. As the pressure is increased to about 25.8 GPa, a first-order phase transformation takes place, which is evidenced by the abrupt decrease in the unit cell volume and b and c lattice parameters.     

杭锦2#土的光谱特征及非均相Fenton反应机理

57Fe Mössbauer investigations of manganese-containing spinels

Cation distributions and related order-disorder phenomena in the naturally occurring Mn-spinels: iwakiite, galaxite and franklinite, have been investigated by means of⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Previous measurements on an iwakiite sample indicated the existence of Mn-rich and Mn-poor regions. This interpretation has been confirmed in this investigation by further measurements on annealed iwakiite samples. The⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectrum of galaxite from Bald Knob, NC, is a well-resolved quadrupole doublet and indicates the presence of a single crystallographic Fe³⁺ species. A galaxite sample from Thailand exhibited a complex spectrum of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ quadrupole doublets: This sample has been misidentified and should be regarded as a member of the (Mg, Fe)(Al, Fe)₂O₄ series. The⁵⁷Fe hyperfine parameters of a rare franklinite from Längban, Sweden, are very close to those for synthetic zinc ferrite, confirming electron microprobe results of an unusually high zinc content.     

High-pressure Mössbauer spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation and radioactive sources

A high-pressure ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer study of SrFeO₃ up to 74 GPa has been performed with diamond-anvil-cell (DAC) using synchrotron radiation and a radioactive point source of ⁵⁷Co in Rh. SrFeO₃ is known as a typical cubic perovskite with a high-valence state of Fe⁴⁺ and shows metallic conductivity at 0.1 MPa down to 4.2 K. Applying an external high pressure, SrFeO₃ has not shown any structural transformation up to 74 GPa keeping an Fe⁴⁺ state but the Néel temperature increases up to 300 K at 18 GPa. The external high pressure may induce the ferromagnetism in SrFeO₃ by a decrease of the interatomic distance of Fe or an increase of the d-band width. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer measurements under externally applied longitudinal magnetic field using radioactive ⁵⁷Co in Rh source and also nuclear forward scattering measurements with a linearly polarized synchrotron radiation under external magnetic field indicate the existence of the pressure induced ferromagnetism in SrFeO₃. In this work we compare high-pressure Mössbauer spectroscopy using synchrotron and radioactive sources and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

The In Situ Synthesis of Fe(OH)3 Film on Fe Foam as Efficient Anode of Alkaline Supercapacitor Based on a Promising Fe3+/Fe0 Energy Storage Mechanism

Herein, a simple in situ charge/discharge activation strategy is proposed to synthesize Fe(OH)3 film on Fe foam as an efficient anode of supercapacitors. The physical characteristics of electrodes are characterized and the electrochemical energy storage performances are investigated. Importantly, it is demonstrated the as‐synthesized Fe(OH)3@Fe foam electrode adopted a novel Fe³⁺/Fe⁰ redox reaction mechanism for energy storage in alkaline electrolytes. Compared with previously reported Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ mechanisms, the Fe³⁺/Fe⁰ redox couple shows a more promising application value (e.g., higher theoretical‐specific capacitance, excellent conductivity of its reduction state). As for supercapacitor anodes, the electrode achieves high areal capacitance of 5.55–3.94 F cm⁻² at a current range of 20–200 mA cm⁻² and shows good stability for high‐rate and long‐term cycling. The assembled single supercapacitor device gives a high energy density of 11.64–7.43 Wh m⁻² at a power density of 157–1461 W m⁻². More importantly, the as‐adopted in situ activation strategy may also have potential value for synthesizing other transition metal oxide‐based products.
