Behavior of natrolite zeolite and fluorapatite at high pressures in a water medium

The hysteresises (～0.3–0.4 GPa) of two transitions in natrolite at 0.9 and 1.45 GPa, considerable changes in the Raman spectra, and the appearance of very intense low-frequency mode at 75 cm^?1 in the overhydrated phase of high pressure of water medium up to 6.2 GPa are observed for the first time. The dependences of the band frequencies of this phase are nonlinear, due clearly to changes in the positions of H₂O in the channels. According to Raman data, fluorapatite placed together with natrolite in a water medium in a diamond anvil cell exhibits no transitions up to 6.2 GPa and displays linear pressure dependences of the band frequencies.
