The stability of Mg(2)SiO(4), a major constituent in the Earth's mantle, has been investigated experimentally by situ observation with synchrotron radiation. A cubic-type high-pressure apparatus equipped sintered diamond anvils used over pressures 11 to 15 gigapascals and temperatures 800 degrees 1600 C. phase alpha-Mg(2)SiO(4) beta-Mg(2)SiO(4) was determined taking account kinetic behavior transition. boundary between is approximated linear expression P = (9.3 +/- 0.1) + (0.0036 0.0002)T...

Thermal expansion of γ-Mg2SiO4 was measured with X-ray powder diffraction method up to 750°C at atmospheric pressure. The data are analyzed in terms Gruneisen's theory thermal and parameter is obtained be 1.27. Volume coefficient 19 20°C 27 500°C unit 10-6/K. These values compared those γ-Fe2SiO4, MgAl2O4 other spinel type compounds, it suggested that the anharmonic properties γ-(Mg, Fe)2SiO4 may very close MgAl2O4.

The melting and phase relations of carbonated MORB eclogite have been investigated using the multi-anvil technique at 9–21 GPa 1100–1900°C. starting compositions were two synthetic mixes, GA1 Volga, with CO2 component added as CaCO3 (cc): + 10%cc (GA1cc) models altered oceanic crust recycled into convecting mantle via subduction, Volga (Volga-cc) subducted that has lost some its siliceous in sub-arc regime (GA1 minus 6·5 wt % SiO2). subsolidus mineral assemblage 9 13 includes garnet,...
An overview of the recently renovated high-pressure X-ray diffraction (XRD) BL10XU beamline for diamond anvil cell at SPring-8 is presented. The renovation includes replacement source and monochromator, enhanced focusing systems high-energy XRD, recent progress in sample environment control techniques that are available studies. Other simultaneous measurement combination with such as Raman scattering spectroscopy Mössbauer spectroscopy, have been developed to obtain complementary information...
Hydrogen and deuterium isotopic evidence indicates that the source of terrestrial water was mostly meteorites, with additional influx from nebula gas during accretion. There are two Earth models, large (7–12 ocean masses) small (1–4 budgets can explain geochemical, cosmochemical, geological observations. Geophysical mineral physics data indicate upper lower mantles generally dry, whereas mantle transition zone is wetter, heterogeneous distribution. Subducting slabs a influx, there three...
