天然绿帘石原位高压同步辐射X射线衍射研究

在金刚石压腔高压装置(DAC)上采用同步辐射角度色散X射线衍射技术,在室温、最高压力9.16GPa条件下,对天然绿帘石进行了状态方程研究。在实验压力范围内,未观察到绿帘石发生相变。通过Birch-Murnaghan状态方程,对所获得的实验数据进行了状态方程拟合,获得了天然绿帘石的体弹模量值为116(7)GPa,体弹模量的压力导数值为7.8(8),若将体弹模量的压力导数值固定为4,获得绿帘石的体弹模量值为132(4)GPa。另外,绿帘石存在较为明显的轴向压缩各向异性:c轴方向压缩系数最大,b轴方向压缩系数最小,说明天然绿帘石在c轴方向更易于压缩,而b轴方向最抗压。     

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of phenacite at high pressure

We report the results of a natural phenacite from 0 to 30.9 GPa using in situ angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and a diamond anvil cell at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. Over this pressure range, no phase change or disproportionation has been observed. The isothermal equation of state was determined. The values of V₀, K₀, and K₀′ refined with a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state are V₀=1116.1±1.2 ų, K₀=223±9 GPa, and K₀′=5.5±0.8. Furthermore, we confirm that the linear compressibilities (β) along a and c directions of phenacite are elastically isotropic (β_a=1.50×10^-3 and β_c=1.34×10^-3 GPa^-1). Consequently, it can be concluded that the compressibility of phenacite under high pressures has been accurately constrained.     

Phase Relations and Pressure-Volume-Temperature Equation of State of Galena

The phase relations and pressure volume dependences of galena （PbS） under high pressure and high temperature are investigated by means of in situ observation using resistance heating in a diamond anvil cell and synchrotron radiation. The phase transition from NaCl type to TII type takes place at approximately 2.4 GPa. A fit to the high temperature third-order Bireh-Murnaghan equation of state yields an isothermal bulk modulus Ko = 37（3） GPa, and its pressure derivative K＇0 = 3.6（3）, the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus （ K/ T）p = -0.022（9） GPaK^-1, and the thermal expansion coeffeient α0 = 2.2（5） × 10^-5 K^-1 for TII-type galena. The linear compressibilities j3 along a, b and c directions of TII type is elastically anisotropic （βa = 3.4 × 10^-3 GPa^-1, βb = 1.4× 10^-4 GPa^-1 and βc = 1.6 × 10^-3 GPa^-1）. We obtain the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus （ K/ T）p and thermal expansion coefficient α0 for TlI-type galena for the first time.     

An in situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction experiment on hydroxyapophyllite

The compression behavior of a natural hydroxyapophyllite is investigated up to about 10.01 GPa at 300 K using in situ angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and a diamond anvil cell at the High Pressure Experiment Station, Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). Over this pressure range, no phase change or disproportionation is observed. The isothermal equation of state is determined for the first time. The values of zero-pressure volume V0 , isothermal bulk modulus K0 , and K0 refined with a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state are V0 = 1276.3±0.9  3 , K0 = 71±3 GPa, and K0 = 8±1. Furthermore, we confirm that the values of linear compressibility β along the a and c directions of hydroxyapophyllite are elastically anisotropic.
