Abstract: | The crystal structure of the scheelite-type ZrSiO4, which was transformed from the zircon-type under shock compression, was studied using an X-ray powder diffraction analysis. Positional parameters of O2- in the 16f site are determined to be u = 0.28, v = 0.14 and w = 0.07 (space group, I41/a). The X-ray powder diffraction lines were broad, indicating that the scheelite-type ZrSiO4 has considerable residual strain in the crystal. The mechanism of this shock-induced phase transition is discussed in terms of the displacive mechanism, where the 110] direction of the zircon-type is converted to the 001] direction of the scheelite-type. This model can explain why this zircon-scheelite transition occurs so fast under shock compression. |
