Abstract

The single-crystal elastic moduli of three natural aragonites, CaCO3, have been determined at ambient conditions by Brillouin spectroscopy. The samples contain different amounts of Sr ranging from 0.1 mol% to 1.5 mol% and cover the majority of the compositional range of natural aragonites. Brillouin spectroscopy can resolve changes in elasticity produced by small differences in the Sr content in aragonite, however, these changes are at the limit of the resolving power of our measurements. Our results are in good agreement with the full tensor of a Sr-bearing natural aragonite determined by Brillouin spectroscopy and with the tensor obtained by DFT calculations. The decrease we measured of the aggregate adiabatic bulk modulus, \(K_S\), with increasing Sr content is qualitatively in good agreement with the softening observed in previously measured isothermal bulk modulus, \(K_T\), of synthetic CaCO3-SrCO3 solid solutions and with the value of \(K_S\) determined for SrCO3. Our study provides the first full tensor on nominally pure (end-member) aragonite and places contraints on its dependence on Ca/Sr substitutions at levels observed in natural samples. Furthermore, we compare the elastic tensor of aragonite and calcite, the two main CaCO3 polymorphs observed at ambient conditions, and describe their differences based on the arrangement of the polyhedral structural units of the two polymorphs. In particular, the different arrangement of the Ca-O polyhedra leads to a smaller compressibility of aragonite along the c-axis, higher compressibilities along the a- and b-axes and an overall lower bulk modulus (\(-\)9.7%) with respect to that of the less dense calcite.

用布里渊光谱分析天然文石样品的弹性
用布里渊光谱法测定了三种天然文石CaCO3的单晶弹性模量。样品中含有不同量的锶,从0.1 mol% to 1.5 mol% and cover the majority of the compositional range of natural aragonites. Brillouin spectroscopy can resolve changes in elasticity produced by small differences in the Sr content in aragonite, however, these changes are at the limit of the resolving power of our measurements. Our results are in good agreement with the full tensor of a Sr-bearing natural aragonite determined by Brillouin spectroscopy and with the tensor obtained by DFT calculations. The decrease we measured of the aggregate adiabatic bulk modulus, \(K_S\), with increasing Sr content is qualitatively in good agreement with the softening observed in previously measured isothermal bulk modulus, \(K_T\), of synthetic CaCO3-SrCO3 solid solutions and with the value of \(K_S\) determined for SrCO3. Our study provides the first full tensor on nominally pure (end-member) aragonite and places contraints on its dependence on Ca/Sr substitutions at levels observed in natural samples. Furthermore, we compare the elastic tensor of aragonite and calcite, the two main CaCO3 polymorphs observed at ambient conditions, and describe their differences based on the arrangement of the polyhedral structural units of the two polymorphs. In particular, the different arrangement of the Ca-O polyhedra leads to a smaller compressibility of aragonite along the c-axis, higher compressibilities along the a- and b-axes and an overall lower bulk modulus (\(-\)9.7%) with respect to that of the less dense calcite.

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)
