Abstract
Compressibility and structural evolution of K-cymrite, hexagonal high-pressure KAlSi3O8·H2O, has been studied up to 18 GPa using synchrotron single crystal X-ray diffraction in Ne pressure medium. K-cymrite retains its original symmetry P6/mmm up to a pressure of 7.3 GPa. As the pressure increases from 7.3 to 8.5 GPa, the weak satellite reflections appear on diffraction patterns and remain up to maximum applied pressure of 18 GPa indicating incommensurate modulation. However, main reflections can be still indexed in hexagonal cell and structure successfully solved in initial P6/mmm group. After pressure release, K-cymrite reverts to initial non-modulated single-crystal state. The parameters of third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state for K-cymrite are V0 = 190.45(12) ų, K0 = 56.5(7) GPa and K0’ = 3.2(12), with bulk modulus notably deviating from earlier result (K0 = 45(2) GPa and K0’ = 1.3(10)) obtained in vaseline media.
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)
