Abstract
K-Ca double carbonates recently identified in inclusions in diamonds, as well as associated alkali-carbonate melts can play an important role in the deep carbon cycle. We studied pressure-induced changes in the crystal structure of high-pressure α-K2Ca3(CO3)4 phase up to 20 GPa using synchrotron single-crystal x-ray diffraction in diamond anvil cell. At ~ 7 GPa at room temperature the orthorhombic P212121 phase of α-K2Ca3(CO3)4 undergoes displacive phase transition into monoclinic P1121 phase. Despite the phase transition, PV-curve does not demonstrate any irregularities so that both phases can be described by the same 4th order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with V0 = 1072.5(3) Å3, K0 = 51.1(8) GPa, K’0=3.7(3), K’’0=0.12(6).
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. The aim of the journal is to support competent interdisciplinary work in mineralogy and physics or chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. Some subjects of interest are:
-Relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state (structures of various states, crystal energies, crystal growth, thermodynamic studies, phase transformations, solid solution, exsolution phenomena, etc.)
-General solid state spectroscopy (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, Raman, ESCA, luminescence, X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, gamma ray resonance, etc.)
-Experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals (application of crystal field, molecular orbital, band theories, etc.)
-Physical properties (magnetic, mechanical, electric, optical, thermodynamic, etc.)
-Relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems
-Electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies
-Computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals
-Mineral surfaces (experimental methods, structure and properties)
