摘要: 采用金刚石对顶砧高压装置和同步辐射X射线衍射技术,在常温下对两种天然橄榄石单晶(含铁的铁镁橄榄石(Mg1.83Fe0.17)SiO4和不含铁的纯镁橄榄石Mg2SiO4)进行了高压结构行为研究。实验结果表明,两种天然橄榄石单晶在最高压力为9.9GPa的条件下没有发生相变。采用二阶Birch-Murnaghan状态方程描述压力-晶胞体积(p-V)关系,获得了铁镁橄榄石和纯镁橄榄石在零压下的晶胞体积(0.2929(3)、0.2899(1)nm3)和体积模量(140(3)、151(2)GPa)。两种镁橄榄石呈高度各向异性,轴压缩性表现为:b轴的压缩率最大,c轴次之,a轴的压缩率最小。随着铁组分的加入,橄榄石的体波速减小,两种橄榄石的体波速相差5.2%,该结果对于研究上地幔的物质构成和弹性波速具有一定的意义。Abstract: In situ X-ray diffraction measurements for natural Fe-bearing and Fe-free Mg2SiO4 forsterite single-crystals ((Mg1.83Fe0.17)SiO4 and Mg2SiO4) were performed with diamond anvil cell high-pressure device and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction at room temperature.The experimental results showed that no phase transition of two natural olivine single-crystals was observed within the upper highest pressure of 9.9GPa.The isothermal relationship of pressure and volume in the two kinds of crystals is well described by the second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with the zero-pressure unit cell volume and zero-pressure bulk modulus of 0.2929(3)nm3 and 140(3)GPa for Fe-bearing forsterite and 0.2899(1)nm3 and 151(2)GPa for Fe-free forsterite, respectively.The linear compressibilities along a, b and c axes (ka, kb and kc) are elastically anisotropic in the two kinds of forsterite and the anisotropy can be described as kb>kc>ka.With the addition of iron into the crystals, the bulk velocity of olivine decreases and the difference between the two kinds of forsterite single-crystals is 5.2%.This result will be significant for the study of the composition of the earth's upper mantle and its elastic wave velocities.
