Mineral inclusions in diamonds provide an important source of information about the composition continental lithosphere at depths exceeding 120-150 km, i.e., within diamond stability field. Fossilized high pressures coesite from a Venezuela have been identified and measured by using laser Raman synchrotron x-ray microanalytical techniques. Micro-Raman measurements on intact inclusion remnant vibrational band shifts give confining pressure 3.62 (+/-0.18) GPa. Synchrotron single-crystal...
Abstract The series of phase transitions on increasing pressure and reverse decompression was followed in crystals monoclinic orthorhombic polymorphs L ‐cysteine by using Raman spectroscopy, with the samples placed a diamond anvil cell together to ensure identical pressures two samples. effects hydrostatic are shown be radically different. Depending starting polymorph, different phases formed under compression/decompression conditions. effect polymorph studied for first time. Phase (at ∼2.9...
Micro‐Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction method (XRD) were used to characterize impact carbonaceous rocks excavated from the Popigai crater (Siberia). The deconvolution of first‐order Raman spectra containing different amounts carbon phases (diamond, lonsdaleite graphite) allowed identification spectrum. most intensive band at 1292–1303 cm −1 was ascribed A 1g vibration mode lonsdaleite, whereas less intense 1219–1244 attributed, in agreement with previously reported ab initio...
Experimental investigation of the phase diagram system carbon dioxide−water at pressures up to 2.7 GPa has been carried out in order explain earlier controversial results on decomposition curves hydrates formed this system. According X-ray diffraction data, solid and/or liquid phases water and CO2 coexist room temperature within pressure range from 0.8 2.6 GPa; no clathrate are observed. The neutron experiments involving samples with different CO2/H2O molar ratios, data show that hydrate...
When crystals of four polymorphs – a stable α-form and three metastable ones (β-, γ-, δ-forms) are simultaneously present in pressure cell, immersed 1 : pentane–isopentane mixture, the least β-form recrystallises exclusively into γ-form (if no δ-form seed is present) or concomitantly γ- δ-forms present). However, never to α-form, even if latter also as potential seed.
Abstract The occurrence of buetschliite, K 2 Ca(CO 3 ) , as inclusions in mantle minerals, is considered one the keys to understanding phase relationships dense carbonates and outlines potential role potassium Earth's deep carbon cycle. Within this scope, high‐pressure behavior synthetic buetschliite characterized by situ Raman spectroscopy up 19 GPa 300°C. Up 6 GPa, compression regular, then splitting some lattice internal modes defines transition a low‐symmetry phase, analogy that observed...
ABSTRACT Micro‐Raman spectroscopy was employed to analyze apatite‐containing samples from the Tomtor complex of ultrabasic rocks and carbonatites, located in sharply continental region Yakutia, Russia. Raman spectra excited at a wavelength 532 nm revealed characteristic vibrational bands apatite, as well attributed carotenoid‐type cyanobacteria. Additionally, an artifact, exhibited resulting laser‐induced photoluminescence trivalent rare earth elements (REEs). Preresonance recorded least two...

The type locality situated in southern Hatrurim Basin, Negev Desert, Israel. occurs as regular lamellar intergrowths with partially hydrated larnite, together rock-forming gehlenite, rankinite Ti-rich andradite,...
Minerals of the Zn-Cd-S-Se system that formed by moderately reduced ~800–850 °C combustion metamorphic (CM) alteration marly sediments were found in marbles from central Jordan. Their precursor contain Se- and Ni-enriched authigenic pyrite ZnS modifications with high Cd enrichment (up to ~10 wt%) elevated concentrations Cu, Sb, Ag, Mo, Pb. The are composed calcite, carbonate-fluorapatite, spurrite, brownmillerite characterized P, Zn, Cd, U, Se, Ni, V, Mo contents. Main accessories either...
The structural behavior of thomsonite compressed in aqueous medium up to 3 GPa was studied by means situ synchrotron powder diffraction with a diamond anvil cell. In the range between 0.0001 and 2 GPa, compressibility is markedly lower than that reported previously, where non-penetrating (with only 6% H2O) used. This indicates pressure-induced hydration (PIH), which results transition an over-hydrated phase observed at GPa. structure contains one additional, half-occupied H2O position,...
Layer silicates F‐ and OH‐apophyllites, KCa 4 Si 8 O 20 (F, OH)·8H 2 O, have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy at hydrostatic nonhydrostatic pressures up to ~8 GPa in diamond anvil cells using a : 1 methanol–ethanol mix as pressure‐transmitting medium. Our experiments show that compression, apophyllites retain their crystalline states (i.e. no amorphization) 5 GPa. The wavenumbers of most bands exhibit linear dependences on pressure, except for few ones, e.g. 162 3565 cm –1 OH‐form...
