Quasi-fluid state in gabbro

Usually, the matter state is divided into three kinds: solid state, fluid state and gas state. But under the normal temperature and pressure, the phenomenon of natural oscillation, similar to fluid property, happening on the surface of the solid-state materials, such as steel, Cu-Zn-Al alloy, and silicon single crystal, can be observed[1—3]. In the metal materials of the Cu-Zn-Al alloy and pure silver, the natural oscillation may lead to generation of alloy nanostructure as shown in fig. 1,…     

0.5～4.0 GPa、100～300 ℃条件下辉长岩弹性波速及衰减特征

 报道了100～300 ℃、0.5～4.0 GPa条件下辉长岩纵波速度（v_P）和横波速度（v_S）,并且根据品质因子（Q_P、Q_S）的变化讨论了该条件下辉长岩的物性特征及其地震地质意义。实验结果表明：压力为0.5～4.0 GPa时,固定温度下辉长岩v_P、v_S、Q_P、Q_S随压力增大而递增,并且在0.5～2.3 GPa压力范围内它们随压力的变化率比在2.3～4.0 GPa范围内的大;固定压力下,温度从100 ℃增至300 ℃时,辉长岩v_P、v_S、Q_P、Q_S呈线性下降趋势。进一步分析得到：在0.5～2.3 GPa压力下,随着压力的增加辉长岩样品不断被压缩,样品的连续性变好,弹性加强,弹性波衰减变小,波速与Q值升高;在2.3～4.0 GPa压力下,样品被压密,样品接近连续弹性介质,弹性波衰减很小,波速与Q值的变化速率变小;在温度为100～300 ℃条件下,辉长岩样品内部以膨胀为主,样品密度变小,弹性波速与Q值呈线性下降趋势。研究结果表明,在岩石圈内构造应力局部集中会导致岩石Q值增大,岩石破裂、热物质局部聚集会导致岩石Q值降低,这也解释了地震前后观测到的震源区Q值的类似变化。
