High-pressure Raman spectroscopic study of Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Raman spectra of monoclinic Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite with 2.4 wt% H2O have been measured in a diamond-anvil cell with helium as a pressure-transmitting medium to 58.4 GPa at room temperature. The most intense, characteristic wadsleyite modes, the Si–O– Si symmetric stretch at 721 cm 1 and the symmetric stretch of the SiO3 unit at 918 cm , shift continuously to 58.4 GPa showing no evidence of a first order change in the crystal structure despite compression well beyond the stability field of wadsleyite in terms of pressure. The pressure dependence of these two modes is nearly identical for Fo90 hydrous and Fo100 anhydrous wadsleyite. A striking feature in the high-pressure Raman spectra of Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite is the appearance of new Raman modes above 9 GPa in the mid-frequency range (300–650 cm 1 at 1-bar and shifted to 500–850 cm 1 at 58.4 GPa) accompanied by a significant growth in their intensities under further compression. In the OH stretching frequency range Fo90 hydrous wadsleyite exhibits a larger number of modes than the Mg endmember phase. The higher number of modes may be due to either additional protonation sites or simply that we observe a different subset of all possible OH modes for each sample. The high-pressure behaviour of the OH stretching modes of Fo90 and Fo100 hydrous wadsleyite is consistent: OH stretching modes with frequencies <3,530 cm 1 decrease with increasing pressure whereas the higher-frequency OH modes show a close to constant pressure dependence to at least 13.2 GPa. The approximately constant pressure dependence of the OH modes above 3,530 cm 1 is consistent with protons being located at the O1ÆÆÆO edges around M3.

Elasticity of hydrous wadsleyite to 12 GPa: Implications for Earth’s transition zone
[1] Knowledge of the pressure effect on elasticity of hydrous olivine polymorphs is necessary to model seismic wave speeds for potential hydrous regions of the mantle. Here we report single-crystal elastic properties of wadsleyite, b-Mg2SiO4, with 0.84 wt.% H2O measured to 12 GPa by Brillouin scattering. Pressure derivatives of the aggregate bulk modulus, KS0, and shear modulus, G 0 0, of hydro...
متن کاملRadiative heat transfer in a hydrous mantle transition zone
The structure and dynamics of Earth’s interior depend crucially upon heat flow and thus upon the thermal conductivity of its constituents. We measured optical absorbance spectra of hydrous wadsleyite and hydrous ringwoodite at simultaneous high-pressure and high-temperature conditions up to 26 GPa and 823 K in order to determine their radiative conductivities and to study the potential thermal ...

We present a detailed 29Si NMR spectroscopic study of isotopically enriched samples of forsterite and of anhydrous and hydrous wadsleyite and ringwoodite (α, β, and γ phases of Mg2SiO4), which complement previous extensive studies of these minerals by XRD and vibrational spectroscopy. VISi is not detected in any of the phases at levels of about 0.1 to 0.5%. When coupled with recent theoretical ...
متن کاملEffect of hydration on the single-crystal elasticity of Fe-bearing wadsleyite to 12 GPa
The single-crystal elastic properties of Fe-bearing wadsleyite with 1.93 wt% H2O (Mg1.634Fe0.202H0.305SiO4) have been determined by Brillouin scattering. At ambient conditions, the aggregate bulk and shear moduli (KS0, G0) of this wadsleyite are 156.2(5) and 98.0(3) GPa, respectively. Compared to the corresponding anhydrous wadsleyite, 1.93 wt% H2O lowers KS0 and G0 by 8.1% and 9.3%, respective...
