    Abstract

    In differentiated planetesimals, the liquid core starts to crystallize during secular cooling, followed by the separation of liquid–solid phases in the core. The wetting property between liquid and solid iron alloys determines whether the core melts are trapped in the solid core or they can separate from the solid core during core crystallization. In this study, we performed high‐pressure experiments under the conditions of the interior of small bodies (0.5–3.0 GPa) to study the wetting property (dihedral angle) between solid Fe and liquid Fe‐S as a function of pressure and duration. The measured dihedral angles are approximately constant after 2 h and decrease with increasing pressure. The dihedral angles range from 30° to 48°, which are below the percolation threshold of 60° at 0.5–3.0 GPa. The oxygen content in the melt decreases with increasing pressure and there are strong positive correlations between the S + O or O content and the dihedral angle. Therefore, the change in the dihedral angle is likely controlled by the O content of the Fe‐S melt, and the dihedral angle tends to decrease with decreasing O content in the Fe‐S melt. Consequently, the Fe‐S melt can form interconnected networks in the solid core. In the obtained range of the dihedral angle, a certain amount of the Fe‐S melt can stably coexist with solid Fe, which would correspond to the “trapped melt” in iron meteorites. Excess amounts of the melt would migrate from the solid core over a long period of core crystallization in planetesimals.

    Abstract

    Fe–Ni–S–Si alloy is considered to be one of the plausible candidates of Mercury core material. Elastic properties of Fe–Ni–S–Si liquid are important to reveal the density profile of the Mercury core. In this study, we measured the P-wave velocity (VP) of Fe–Ni–S–Si (Fe73Ni10S10Si7, Fe72Ni10S5Si13, and Fe67Ni10S10Si13) liquids up to 17 GPa and 2000 K to study the effects of pressure, temperature, and multiple light elements (S and Si) on the VP and elastic properties.

    The VP of Fe–Ni–S–Si liquids are less sensitive to temperature. The effect of pressure on the VP are close to that of liquid Fe and smaller than those of Fe–Ni–S and Fe–Ni–Si liquids. Obtained elastic properties are KS0 = 99.1(9.4) GPa, KS’ = 3.8(0.1) and ρ0 =6.48 g/cm3 for S-rich Fe73Ni10S10Si7 liquid and KS0 = 112.1(1.5) GPa, KS’ = 4.0(0.1) and ρ0=6.64 g/cm3 for Si-rich Fe72Ni10S5Si13 liquid. The VP of Fe–Ni–S–Si liquids locate in between those of Fe–Ni–S and Fe–Ni–Si liquids. This suggests that the effect of multiple light element (S and Si) on the VP is suppressed and cancel out the effects of single light elements (S and Si) on the VP. The effect of composition on the EOS in the Fe–Ni–S–Si system is indispensable to estimate the core composition combined with the geodesy data of upcoming Mercury mission.

    The density of liquid metals at high pressure and high-temperature provides fundamental and important information for understanding their compression behavior and elastic properties. In this study, the densities of liquid gallium (Ga) were measured up to 10 GPa and 533 K using the X-ray absorption method combined with an externally heated diamond anvil cell. The elastic properties (the isothermal bulk modulus (K-T0), and its pressure derivative (K-T0')) of liquid Ga were obtained by fitting the density data with three equations of state (EOSs) (Murnaghan, third order Birch-Murnaghan, and Vinet). The K-T0 values of liquid Ga were determined to be 45.7 +/- 1.0-51.7 +/- 1.0 GPa at 500 K assuming K-T0' values of 4-6. The obtained K-T0 or K-T0 ' showed almost the same values regardless of the EOS used. Compared with previous results, the compression curve of liquid Ga obtained in this study had a slightly stiffer trend at higher pressures.

    The structure of hydrous amorphous SiO2 is fundamental in order to investigate the effects of water on the physicochemical properties of oxide glasses and magma. The hydrous SiO2 glass with 13 wt.% D2O was synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions and its structure was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and neutron diffraction experiments at pressures of up to 10 GPa and room temperature. This hydrous glass is separated into two phases: a major phase rich in SiO2 and a minor phase rich in D2O molecules distributed as small domains with dimensions of less than 100 Å. Medium-range order of the hydrous glass shrinks compared to the anhydrous SiO2 glass by disruption of SiO4 linkage due to the formation of Si–OD deuterioxyl, while the response of its structure to pressure is almost the same as that of the anhydrous SiO2 glass. Most of D2O molecules are in the small domains and hardly penetrate into the void space in the ring consisting of SiO4 tetrahedra.

    A compositional variety of planetary cores provides insight into their core/mantle evolution and chemistry in the early solar system. To infer core composition from geophysical data, a precise knowledge of elastic properties of core-forming materials is of prime importance. Here, we measure the sound velocity and density of liquid Fe-Ni-S (17 and 30 at% S) and Fe-Ni-Si (29 and 38 at% Si) at high pressures and report the effects of pressure and composition on these properties. Our data show that the addition of sulfur to iron substantially reduces the sound velocity of the alloy and the bulk modulus in the conditions of this study, while adding silicon to iron increases its sound velocity but has almost no effect on the bulk modulus. Based on the obtained elastic properties combined with geodesy data, S or Si content in the core is estimated to 4.6 wt% S or 10.5 wt% Si for Mercury, 9.8 wt% S or 18.3 wt% Si for the Moon, and 32.4 wt% S or 30.3 wt% Si for Mars. In these core compositions, differences in sound velocity profiles between an Fe-Ni-S and Fe-Ni-Si core in Mercury are small, whereas for Mars and the Moon, the differences are substantially larger and could be detected by upcoming seismic sounding missions to those bodies.Plain Language Summary To estimate core compositions of terrestrial planets using geophysical data with high-pressure physical property of core-forming materials, we measure the sound velocity and density of liquid Fe-Ni-S and Fe-Ni-Si at high pressures. The effect of S and Si on elastic properties are quite different in the present conditions. Based on the obtained physical properties combined with geodesy data, S or Si content in the core of Mercury, Moon, and Mercury are estimated. In these core compositions, differences in sound velocity profiles between an Fe-Ni-S and Fe-Ni-Si core in Mars and the Moon are substantially large and could be detected by upcoming seismic sounding mission to Mars.

    A new experimental setup for simultaneous P-wave velocity (V-P) and density (rho) measurements for liquid alloys is developed using ultrasonic and X-ray absorption methods combined with X-ray tomography at high pressures and high temperatures. The new setup allows us to directly determine adiabatic bulk moduli (K-S) and to discuss the correlation between the V-P and rho of the liquid sample. We measured V-P and rho of liquid Ni68S32 up to 5.6 GPa and 1045 K using this technique. The effect of pressure on the V-P and rho values of liquid Ni68S32 is similar to that of liquid Fe57S43. (Both compositions correspond to near-eutectic ones.) The obtained K-S values are well fitted to the finite strain equation with a K-S0 value (K-S at ambient pressure) of 31.1 GPa and a dK(S)/dP value of 8.44. The measured V-P was found to increase linearly with increasing rho, as approximated by the relationship: V-P [m/s] = 1.29 rho [kg/m(3)] - 5726, suggesting that liquid Ni-S follows an empirical linear relationship, Birch's law. The dV(P)/d rho slope is similar between Ni68S32 and Fe57S43 liquids, while the V-P-rho plot of liquid Ni-S is markedly different from that of liquid Fe-S, which indicates that the effect of Ni on Birch's law is important for understanding the V-P-rho relation of planetary and Moon's molten cores.

    The phase relationships of the Fe-Ni-S system at 15 GPa were studied by high pressure quench experiments. The stability fields of (Fe,Ni)(3)S and (Fe,Ni)(3)S-2 and the melting relationships of the Fe-Ni-S system were determined as a function of Ni content. The (Fe,Ni)(3)S solid solution is stable in the composition of Ni/(Fe + Ni) > 0.7 and melts incongruently into an Fe-Ni alloy + liquid. The (Fe,Ni)(3)S-2 makes a complete solid solution and melts incongruently into (Fe,Ni)S + liquid, whose structure was determined to show Cmcm-orthorhombic symmetry by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments. The eutectic contains about 30 at.% of S, and its temperature decreases with increasing Ni content with a rate of similar to 5 K/at.% from 1175 K. The density of the Fe-FeS eutectic composition (Fe70S30) liquid is evaluated to be 6.93 +/- 0.08 g/cm(3) at 15 GPa and 1200 K based on the Clausius-Clapeyron relations and densities of subsolidus phases. The Fe-Ni-S liquids are a primary sulfur-bearing phase in the deep mantle with a reducing condition (250-660 km depth), and they would play a significant role in the carbon cycle as a carbon host as well as in the generation of diamond.

    Carbon is one of the possible light elements in the cores of the terrestrial planets. The P wave velocity (V-P) and density (rho) are important factors for estimating the chemical composition and physical properties of the core. We simultaneously measured the V-P and rho of Fe-3.5 wt % C up to 3.4 GPa and 1850 K by using ultrasonic pulse-echo method and X-ray absorption methods. The V-P of liquid Fe-3.5 wt % C decreased linearly with increasing temperature at constant pressure. The addition of carbon decreased the V-P of liquid Fe by about 2% at 3 GPa and 1700 K and decreased the Fe density by about 2% at 2 GPa and 1700 K. The bulk modulus of liquid Fe-C and its pressure (P) and temperature (T) effects were precisely determined from directly measured rho and V-P data to be K-0,K-1700 K = 83.9 GPa, dK(T)/dP = 5.9(2), and dK(T)/dT = -0.063(8) GPa/K. The addition of carbon did not affect the isothermal bulk modulus (K-T) of liquid Fe, but it decreased the dK/dT of liquid Fe. In the rho-V-P relationship, V-P increases linearly with rho and can be approximated as V-P (m/s) = -6786(506) + 1537(71) x rho (g/cm(3)), suggesting that Birch's law is valid for liquid Fe-C at the present P-T conditions. Our results imply that at the conditions of the lunar core, the elastic properties of an Fe-C core are more affected by temperature than those of Fe-S core.

    The sound velocity (V (P)) of liquid Fe-10 wt% Ni and Fe-10 wt% Ni-4 wt% C up to 6.6 GPa was studied using the ultrasonic pulse-echo method combined with synchrotron X-ray techniques. The obtained V (P) of liquid Fe-Ni is insensitive to temperature, whereas that of liquid Fe-Ni-C tends to decrease with increasing temperature. The V (P) values of both liquid Fe-Ni and Fe-Ni-C increase with pressure. Alloying with 10 wt% of Ni slightly reduces the V (P) of liquid Fe, whereas alloying with C is likely to increase the V (P). However, a difference in V (P) between liquid Fe-Ni and Fe-Ni-C becomes to be smaller at higher temperature. By fitting the measured V (P) data with the Murnaghan equation of state, the adiabatic bulk modulus (K (S0)) and its pressure derivative (K (S) (') ) were obtained to be K (S0) = 103 GPa and K (S) (') = 5.7 for liquid Fe-Ni and K (S0) = 110 GPa and K (S) (') = 7.6 for liquid Fe-Ni-C. The calculated density of liquid Fe-Ni-C using the obtained elastic parameters was consistent with the density values measured directly using the X-ray computed tomography technique. In the relation between the density (rho) and sound velocity (V (P)) at 5 GPa (the lunar core condition), it was found that the effect of alloying Fe with Ni was that rho increased mildly and V (P) decreased, whereas the effect of C dissolution was to decrease rho but increase V (P). In contrast, alloying with S significantly reduces both rho and V (P). Therefore, the effects of light elements (C and S) and Ni on the rho and V (P) of liquid Fe are quite different under the lunar core conditions, providing a clue to constrain the light element in the lunar core by comparing with lunar seismic data.

    The boundary between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, ductile asthenosphere is marked by a distinct seismic discontinuity(1). A decrease in seismic-wave velocity and increase in attenuation at this boundary is thought to be caused by partial melt(2). The density and viscosity of basaltic magma, linked to the atomic structure(3,4), control the process of melt separation from the surrounding mantle rocks(5-9). Here we use high-pressure and high-temperature experiments and in situ X-ray analysis to assess the properties of basaltic magmas under pressures of up to 5.5 GPa. We find that the magmas rapidly become denser with increasing pressure and show a viscosity minimum near 4 GPa. Magma mobility-the ratio of the melt-solid density contrast to the magma viscosity-exhibits a peak at pressures corresponding to depths of 120150 km, within the asthenosphere, up to an order of magnitude greater than pressures corresponding to the deeper mantle and shallower lithosphere. Melts are therefore expected to rapidly migrate out of the asthenosphere. The diminishing mobility of magma in Earth's asthenosphere as the melts ascend could lead to excessive melt accumulation at depths of 80-100 km, at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. We conclude that the observed seismic discontinuity at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary records this accumulation of melt.

    Carbon is a plausible light element candidate in the Earth's outer core. We measured the density of liquid Fe-3.5 wt% C up to 6.8 GPa and 2200 K using an X-ray absorption method. The compression curve of liquid Fe-C was fitted using the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The bulk modulus and its pressure derivative are K-0.1500K = 55.3 +/- 2.5 GPa and (dK(o)/dP)(T) = 5.2 +/- 1.5, and the thermal expansion coefficient is alpha = 0.86 +/- 0.04 x 10(-4) K-1. The Fe-C density abruptly increases at pressures between 4.3 and 5.5 GPa in the range of present temperatures. Compared with the results of previous density measurements of liquid Fe-C, the effect of carbon on the density of liquid Fe shows a nonideal mixing behavior. The abrupt density increase and nonideal mixing behavior are important factors in determining the light element content in the Earth's core. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The interfacial tension of Fe-Si liquid was measured using in situ X-ray radiography at high pressure and temperatures using the sessile drop method. The interfacial tension of Fe-Si liquid decreases (from 665 to 407 mN/m) with increasing temperature (1673-2173 K) at 1.5 GPa. The interfacial tension also decreases gradually with increasing Si content (0-25 at%), suggesting that Si behaves as a "moderately" surface-active element. Comparing the effects of different light elements on the interfacial tension of liquid iron, the most effective elements for reducing the interfacial tension lie in the order S > Si > P. although P has almost no effect. The droplet size of emulsified Fe-alloys in a magma ocean are estimated to be larger for Fe-Si and Fe-P liquids and smaller for Fe-S (S > 10 at%) liquid compared with that for pure Fe liquid. Therefore, if droplets in a magma ocean are enriched in S, chemical equilibrium between droplets and silicate melt is established faster in the magma ocean compared to Fe, Fe-Si and Fe-P liquids.

    We investigated the pressure-induced structural changes in hydrous forsterite and enstatite melts using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Diffraction data was collected up to 6.9 GPa at superliquidus temperatures. At pressures below 3 GPa, the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), which reflects the silicate network ordering in the silicate melts that consist of (center dot center dot center dot)-Si-O-Si-(center dot center dot center dot) linkages, is shifted notably toward higher Q (scattering vector [angstrom(-1)]) in both melt compositions. This observation indicates that water has a depolymerizing effect on the silicate network below 3 GPa, which means that (center dot center dot center dot)-Si-O-Si-(center dot center dot center dot) linkages are partially disrupted by hydroxyl species (Si-OH units). In contrast, the peaks move to lower Qat pressures above 3 GPa in spite of the compression, which indicates lengthening of the silicate network ordering (i.e., polymerization of silicate network). This observation indicates that water changes to have a polymerizing effect on the silicate network above 3 GPa by a new free hydroxyl group such as Mg-OH, which was previously proposed in the study on hydrous silicate glasses structure. In fact, the structural changes in the present study are more pronounced in the hydrous Mg(2)SiO(4) melt, suggesting that the MgO component has an important influence on the polymerization of hydrous melt structure at 3-5 GPa. The present structural change, re-polymerization at high pressure, in hydrous silicate melt can influence the viscosity. Such a relatively high-viscosity hydrous magma may be able to stay (or be decreased in the rising velocity) at a depth of 100-180 km, which can enhance the decrease in a seismological wave velocity in the Earth's asthenosphere as proposed in previous seismological observations.

    The density of liquid iron sulfide (FeS) was measured up to 3.8 GPa and 1800 K using an X-ray absorption method. The compression curve of liquid FeS was fitted using the Vinet equation of state. The isothermal bulk modulus and its temperature and pressure derivatives were determined using a nonlinear least-squares fit. The parameter sets determined were: K(0T) = 2.5 +/- 0.3 GPa at T = 1500 K, (dK(0)/dT)(P) = 0.0036 +/- 0.0003 GPa/K, and (dK(0)/dP)(T) = 24 +/- 2. These results suggest that liquid FeS is more compressible than Fe-rich liquid Fe-S.

    The density of carbonated peridotite magma was measured up to 3.8 GPa and 2100 K using an X-ray absorption method. A fit of the pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yielded the isothermal bulk modulus, K(T0) = 22.9 +/- 1.4 GPa, its pressure derivative, K'(0) = 7.4 +/- 1.4, and the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus (partial derivative K(T)/partial derivative T)(P) = -0.006 +/- 0.002 GPa/K at 1800 K. The bulk modulus of carbonated peridotite magma is larger than that of hydrous peridotite magma. The partial molar volume of CO, in magma under high pressure and temperature conditions was calculated and fit using the Vinet equation of state. The isothermal bulk modulus was K(T0) = 8.1 +/- 1.7GPa, and its pressure derivative was K'0 = 7.2 +/- 2.0 at 2000 K. Our results show that the partial molar volume of CO(2) is less compressible than that of H(2)O, suggesting that, on an equal molar basis, CO(2) is more effective than H(2)O in reducing peridotite melt density at high pressure.

    We found a new nickel sulfide that is isostructural with Fe3S. The synthesized nickel sulfide is a non-stoichiometric compound with a Ni deficiency and its composition is Ni2.90 +/- 0.5S. In situ synchrotron X-ray observations indicate that Ni3-xS forms above 5.1 GPa and melts incongruently into Ni+liquid up to 10 GPa. The bulk modulus of Ni3-xS at 300 K was determined to be 140 +/- 2 GPa with a fixed K' = 4 by static compression with a liquid pressure medium. The eutectic point of the Ni-NiS system lies between Ni3S and Ni3S2 up to 10 GPa and its composition changes from Ni66.6S33.4 at 0.1 MPa to Ni70.7S29.3 at 10 GPa. The eutectic melting temperature of the Ni-NiS system decreases to 5.1 GPa and 720 K as the pressure increases where Ni and alpha-Ni3S2 are the eutectic solids. On the other hand, the eutectic melting temperature increases with a positive slope above 5.1 GPa where Ni3S+alpha-Ni3S2 is stable under subsolidus conditions. Intermediate compounds appear at a lower pressure in the Ni-NiS system than that for the Fe-FeS system. Ni3S2 is stable at atmospheric pressure and Ni3S forms at 5.1 GPa, whereas Fe3S2 and Fe3S form at 14 and 20 GPa, respectively. The addition of Ni coomplicates the melting relationship in the Fe-FeS system at high pressure because of the wider stability field of Ni3S. The low-melting temperature of the Fe-Ni-S system plays an important role in the percolative core-formation of planetesimals during planetary accretion.

    The density of the Apollo 14 black glass melt, which has the highest TiO(2) content of pristine mare glasses, was measured to 4.8 GPa and 2100 K using an X-ray absorption method. A fit of the pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yielded the isothermal bulk modulus K(T0) = 9.0 +/- 1.2 GPa, its pressure derivative K(0)' = 16.0 +/- 3.4, and the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus (partial derivative K(T)/partial derivative T)(P) = -0.0030 +/- 0.0008 GPa/K at 1700 K. The high-Ti basalt magma is less dense than the lunar mantle below about 1.0 GPa. Therefore, the high-Ti basalt magma produced in the hybridized source (100-200 km) can ascend to the lunar surface. The basalt formed at the higher pressure could not ascend but move downwards, and solidify in the lunar mantle. The solidified high-Ti basalt components can create chemical heterogeneities in the lunar mantle and can cause the low-velocity anomalies observed seismologically. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    The density of a peridotite magma was measured up to 2.5 GPa and 2300 K using an X-ray absorption method. The method allowed measurement of the density of a peridotite melt under seven different conditions and clarified the pressure and temperature dependence of the density. A fit of the pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Mumaghan equation of state yielded the isothermal bulk modulus, K(T0) = 24.0 +/- 1.3 GPa. its pressure derivative, K(0)' = 7.3 +/- 0.8, and the derivative of bulk modulus (partial derivative K(T)/partial derivative T)(P) = -0.0027 +/- 0.0017 GPa/K at 2100 K. The large bulk modulus and its pressure derivative of the peridotite melt compared with that of basaltic melt is consistent with previous results from sink-float experiments.

    A new high-pressure apparatus has been developed for studies of synchrotron radiation-based X-ray microtomography at SPring-8 of Japan. The high pressure tomography apparatus at SPring-8 is a compact hydraulic press with a 0.8 MN capacity and is equipped with an opposed anvil device. It has two wide windows for X-ray access with a 160-degree opening in the equatorial plane to the compression axis. Radiographs are acquired over 180 degree rotation for reconstruction of 3D image, in which some shadows occur, because the press frame blocks a 20-degree angular region. 3D tomography image computed from radiographs obtained using the high pressure tomography apparatus has a reasonably good quality enough to measure physical properties of materials.

    The density of hydrous peridotite magma containing 5 wt.% H(2)O Was measured at pressures and temperatures up to 4.3 GPa and 2073 K, respectively, using the X-ray absorption method. A fit of pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yields isothermal bulk modulus K(T) = 8.8 +/- 1.9 GPa. its pressure derivative K' = 9.9 +/- 3.6 and the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus (partial derivative K(T)/partial derivative T)(p) = -0.0022 +/- 0.0015 GPa/K at 1773 K. The small bulk modulus of the hydrous peridotite magma compared with that of the dry peridotite magma reflects the effect of water, which is more compressible than the silicate melt. The partial molar volume of H(2)O in magma under high pressure conditions was calculated and fitted using the Vinet equation of state. The isothermal bulk modulus was K(T) = 2.4 +/- 1.0 GPa, and its pressure derivative was K' = 5.7 +/- 1.5 at 1973 K. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Interfacial tension is one of the most important properties of the liquid iron alloy that controls the core formation process in the early history of the Earth and planets. In this study, we made high-pressure X-ray radiography and micro-tomography measurements to determine the interfacial tension between liquid iron alloys and silicate melt using the sessile drop method. The measured interfacial tension of liquid Fe-S decreased significantly (802-112 mN/m) with increasing sulphur content (0-40 at%) at 1.5 GPa. In contrast, the phosphorus content of Fe had an almost negligible effect on the interfacial tension of liquid iron. These tendencies in the effects of light elements are consistent with those measured at ambient pressure. Our results suggest that the effect of sulphur content on the interfacial tension of liquid Fe-S (690 mN/m reduction with the addition of 40 at% S) is large compared with the effect of temperature (similar to 273 mN/m reduction with an increase of 200 K). The three-dimensional structure of liquid Fe-S was obtained at similar to 2 GPa and 1373-1873 K with a high-pressure tomography technique. The Fe-S droplet was quite homogeneous when evaluated in a slice of the three-dimensional image. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    High-pressure, high-temperature X-ray tomography experiments have been carried out using a large volume toroidal cell, which is optimized for interfacial tension measurements. A wide anvil gap, which corresponds to a field of view in the radiography imaging, was successively maintained to high pressures and temperatures using a composite plastic gasket. Obtained interfacial tensions of Ni-S liquid against Na, K-disilicate melt, were 414 and 336 mN/m at 1253 and 1293 K, respectively. Three-dimensional tomo-graphy images revealed that the sample had an irregular shape at the early stage of melting, suggesting either non-equilibrium in sample texture and force balance or partial melting of surrounding silicate. This information cannot always be obtained from two-dimensional radiographic imaging techniques. Therefore, a three-dimensional tomography measurement is appropriate for the precise interfacial measurements.

    Structure of a hydrous silicate melt with a forsterite-enstatite-H2O composition was investigated by in-situ X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation. The high temperature hydrous melt was successfully enclosed in a single-crystal diamond capsule under high pressure, up to 6.5 GPa. Results showed that the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), which reflects the intermediate-range structure of the complex melt, shifted drastically toward higher Q ( scattering vector [angstrom(-1)]) at pressure below 2.2 GPa. This observation indicates that the silicate network in the melt was depolymerized by the influence of water molecules and partly replaced by Si-OH units under those high-pressure conditions. In contrast, between 3 - 5 GPa, such a peak shift was not clearly detected, suggesting that the lengthening of the intermediate-range ordering of ...-Si-O-Si-... linkage (i.e., polymerization of silicate network) occurred.

    This chapter summarizes the techniques for the viscosity and density measurements of silicate melts and glasses at high pressure and temperature by using the X-ray radiography and absorption techniques in the third generation synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8, Japan. The falling sphere method using in situ X-ray radiography makes it possible to measure the viscosity of silicate melts to pressures above 6 GPa at high temperature. The details of the experimental technique of the viscosity measurement, and the results for some silicate melts such as albite and diopside-jadeite melts are discussed in detail. X-ray absorption method is applied to measure the density of silicate glasses such as basaltic glass and iron sodium disilicate glass up to 5 GPa at high temperature. A diamond capsule that is not reactive with the glasses is used for the density measurement of the glasses. The present density measurement of the glasses indicates that this method is useful for measurement of the density of silicate melts at high pressure and temperature. © 2005 Copyright © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

    In situ X-ray diffraction experiments on Fes up to 22 GPa and 1600 K were carried out using large volume multianvil apparatus, combined with synchrotron radiation at SPring-8. We investigated phase stability relationships of Fes and determined the straight phase boundaries between Fes III (monoclinic phase) and Fes IV (hexagonal phase) to be T (K) = 20P (GPa) + 170 and between Fes IV and Fes V (NiAs-type phase) to be T (K) = 39.6 P (GPa) + 450. We also found anomalous behavior in the c/a ratio, thermal expansion, and isothermal compression of FeS V as well as FeS IV, in the pressure range 4-12 GPa. These anomalies in Fes can be attributed to the spin-pairing transition of Fe, and divides FeS IV and FeS V into the high-spin low-pressure phase (LPP) and the possibly low-spin high-pressure phase (HPP). In order to investigate the internal structure of Mars, we evaluated the equations of state for Fes IV (HPP) and Fes V (HPP). A least square fit to the experimental data yielded K(0T) = 62.5 +/- 0.9 GPa at T = 600 K and (dK(0)/dT) p = -0.0208 +/- 0.0028 GPa/K for Fes IV (HPP), and K(0T) = 54.3 +/- 1.0 GPa at T = 1000 K and (dK(0)/dT) = -0.0117 +/- 0.0015 GPa/K for Fes V (HPP) with fixed K' = 4. Thermal expansion coefficients were alpha = 7.16 x 10(-5) + 6.08 x 10(-8) T for FeS IV (HPP) and alpha = 10.42 x 10(-5) for Fes V (HIPP), respectively. Using these equations of state, we examined the internal structure of Mars that has a model mantle composition [Meteoritics 20 (1985) 367] and Fe-FeS core. Our models show that an Mg-silicate perovskite-rich lower mantle is stable only with the Fe-rich core having less than 20 wt.% sulfur. The polar moment of inertia factor C derived from Mars Pathfinder data [Science 278 (1997) 1749] is consistent with any compositions between Fe and Fes for the Martian core, but it excludes the presence of a crust thicker than 100 km.

    The viscosity of liquid sulfur up to 9.7 GPa and 1067 K was measured using the in situ x-ray radiography falling sphere method. The viscosity coefficients were found to range from 0.11 to 0.69 Pa s, and decreased continuously with increasing pressure under approximately constant homologous temperature conditions. The observed viscosity variation suggests that a gradual structural change occurs in liquid sulfur with pressure up to 10 GPa. The L-L' transition in liquid sulfur proposed by Brazhkin et al (1991 Phys. Lett. A 154 413) from thermobaric measurements has not been confirmed by the present viscometry.

    The phase boundary of the post-spinel transition in Mg2SiO4 was re-investigated by means of high P-T in situ X-ray diffractometry with a gold pressure marker in a Kawai-type apparatus. Rapid and continuous temperature changes were conducted to initiate dissociation of spinel, which tends to be inert after long annealing. Isothermal decompression at high temperature was conducted to form spinel from perovskite plus periclase. The phase boundary is located at ca. 22 GPa in the temperature range from 1550 to 2100 K, which is 1-1.5 GPa lower than the 660 km discontinuity. This discrepancy might be explained in terms of the pressure effect of thermocouple emf and inaccurate equation of state (EOS) for the pressure maker. The transition is found to be less sensitive to temperature than reported previously, with a Clapeyron slope ranging from -2 to -0.4 MPa/K. This small Clapeyron slope implies that the post-spinel transition would not be an effective barrier to mantle convection. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    Phase relationships for FeS polymorph have been studied at the pressure of 16-20 GPa and temperature of 300-1350 K by in situ X-ray observation using a large volume high-pressure apparatus and a synchrotron radiation. Contrary to Fei's prediction [1], we found the stability field of NiAs-type phase of FeS extending at least to 18 GPa. Results of in situ X-ray observation correspond with the NiAs-hexagonal phase boundary determined by Kusaba et al. [2,3], Assuming the straight NiAs-hexagonal phase boundary, we estimate that the NiAs-hexagonal-liquid triple junction is located at 39.5 GPa and 2300 K.

    [1] The in situ viscosity measurements of the pure molten Fe under high pressures were made by falling sphere X-ray radiography method. Viscosity coefficients at about 2000 K were 15-24 mPa s at 2.7-5.0 GPa, and 4-9 mPa s at 5.0-7.0 GPa. Drastic decrease was found at around 5 GPa, at which stable solid phase below the melting temperatures change from delta (bcc) to gamma (fcc) phases. The observation indicates the possibility that the structural change in the molten Fe occurs in a narrow pressure interval (1 GPa) at the similar condition with the phase transformation in the solid.

    Mechanisms and kinetics of the post-spinel transformation in Mg2SiO4 were examined at 22.7-28.2 GPa and 860-1200degreesC by in situ X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation combined with microstructural observations of the recovered samples. The post-spinel phases nucleated on spinel grain boundaries and grew with a lamellar texture. Under large overpressure conditions, reaction rims were formed along spinet grain boundaries at the initial stage of the transformation, whereas under small overpressure conditions, the transformation proceeded without formation of reaction rims. Mg2SiO4 spinel metastably dissociated into MgSiO3 ilmenite and periclase, and stishovite and periclase as intermediate steps in the transformation into the stable assemblage of MgSiO3 perovskite and periclase. Topotactic relationships were found in the transformation from spinet into ilmenite and periclase. Kinetic parameters in the Avrami rate equation, time taken to 10% completion, and the growth rate were estimated by analysis of the kinetic data obtained by in situ X-ray observations. The empirical activation energy for 10% transformation decreases with increasing pressure because the activation energy for nucleation becomes smaller at larger overpressure conditions. Extrapolations of the 10% transformation to similar to700degreesC, which is the lowest temperature expected for the cold slabs at similar to700 km depth, suggest that overpressure of more than similar to1 GPa is needed for the transformation. Because the growth rate is estimated to be large even at low-temperatures of similar to700degreesC and overpressures of 1 GPa, the depth of the post-spinet transformation in the cold slabs is possibly controlled by nucleation kinetics.

    The Fe-FeS melt is thought to be the major candidate of the outer core material. Its viscosity is one of the most important physical properties to study the dynamics of the convection in the outer core. We performed the in situ viscosity measurement of the Fe-FeS melt under high pressure using X-ray radiography falling sphere method with a novel sample assembly. Viscosity was measured in the temperature, pressure, and compositional conditions of 1233-1923 K, 1.5-6.9 GPa, and Fe-Fe72S28 (wt%), respectively. The viscosity coefficients obtained by 17 measurements change systematically in the range of 0.008-0.036 Pa s. An activation energy of the viscous flow, Q = 30.0 +/- 8.6 kJ/mol, and the activation volume, DeltaV = 1.5 +/- 0.7 x 10(-6) m(3)/mol, are determined as the temperature and pressure dependence, and the viscosity of the Fe72S28 melt is found to be smaller than that of the Fe melt by 15 +/- 10%. These tendencies can be well correlated with the structural variation of the Fe-FeS melt. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    Stokes' viscometry combined with in situ X-ray radiographic observation, using the 6-8 type multi-anvil press and synchrotron radiation, has been applied to the viscosity measurement of the Fe-FeS melt up to pressures of 7 GPa. The viscosity is found to be about 2 x 10(-2) Pa-s at 5 to 7 GPa and temperatures about 1350 K, in marked contrast to previous viscosity measurements, which showed high viscosity, 0.5 to 14 Pa-s, at 2 to 5 GPa (LeBlanc and Secco 1996). Our viscosity data, however, is consistent with all other evidence, which include 1 atm viscosity data, X-ray structure analysis, and ab initio simulations. Recent viscosity measurements (Dobson et al. 2000) also showed the viscosity of Fe-FeS melt to be about 10(-2) Pa-s at 2.5 GPa. Thus, we are confident that the viscosity of the Fe-FeS melt is close to a typical value (10(-2) Pa-s) of viscosity for liquid metal even at high pressures.

    In situ observations of the ilmenite-perovskite transition in MgSiO3 were carried out in a multianvil high-pressure apparatus interfaced with synchrotron radiation. The phase boundary between ilmenite and perovskite in the temperature range of 1300-1600 K was determined to be P (GPa) = 28.4(+/-0.4) - 0.0029(+/-0.0020)T (K) based on Jamieson's equation of state of gold [Jamieson et at., 1982] and P (GPa) = 27.3(+/-0.4) - 0.0035(+/-0.0024)T (K) based on Anderson's equation of state of gold [Anderson et al., 1989]. The consistency of our results, using Jamieson's equation of state, with previous studies obtained by quench methods leads us to conclude that the 660 km seismic discontinuity in the mantle can be attributed a phase transition to perovskite phase. However, the phase boundary based on the Anderson's equation of state implies that the depth of the 660-km seismic discontinuity does not match the pressure of this transition.

    In situ synchrotron X-ray experiments in the system SnO2 were made at pressures of 4-29 GPa and temperatures of 300-1400 K using sintered diamond anvils in a 6-8 type high-pressure apparatus. Orthorhombic phase (alpha -PbO2 structure) underwent a transition to a cubic phase (Pa (3) over bar structure) at 18 GPa. This transition was observed at significantly lower pressures in DAC experiments. We obtained the isothermal bulk modulus of cubic phase K-0 = 252(28) GPa and its pressure derivative K' = 3.5(2.2). The thermal expansion coefficient of cubic phase at 25 GPa up to 1300 K was determined from interpolation of the P-V-T data obtained, and is 1.7(+/-0.7) x 10(-5) K-1 at 25 GPa.

    An in situ X-ray observation of the postspinel transformation kinetics was made using intense synchrotron radiation. We confirmed that Mg2SiO4 spinel transforms into fine. lamellae of SiO2 stishovite and periclase, and/or MgSiO3 ilmenite and periclase as an intermediate step in the postspinel transformation. These metastable assemblages eventually disappear and form the stable assemblages of MgSiO3 perovskite and periclase. Initial grain size just after the postspinel; transformation drastically changes with overpressure. Viscosity of the subducting slab into the lower mantle, which is thought to be deformed by grain-size-sensitive creep, would depend on overpressure needed for the postspinel transformation at geological time scale.

    Molten NaCl was analyzed by high-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation up to 5 GPa and 1600 degrees C along the melting curve. The interference function Qi(Q), and the correlation function g(r) were derived from the diffraction data. The first-neighbor distance r(1) is about 2.7 Angstrom and the second-neighbor distance appears around 1.4r(1)-1.5r(1). The coordination number, CN, of the nearest neighbor ions increases with pressure from 3.5 at 0.1 MPa to 4.5 at 5 GPa. This is the evidence that the NaCl melt has a B1-like structure with large vacancies over this pressure range and becomes densified by an increase in CN as a result of second neighbor compaction.

    The phase boundary between spinel (γ phase) and MgSiO3 perovskite + MgO periclase in Mg2SiO4 was determined by in situ x-ray measurements by a combination of the synchrotron radiation source (SPring-8) and a large multianvil high-pressure apparatus. The boundary was determined at temperatures between 1400°to 1800°C, demonstrating that the postspinel phase boundary has a negative Clapeyron slope as estimated by quench experiments and thermodynamic analyses. The boundary was located at 21.1 (± 0.2) gigapascals, at 1600°C, which is ~2 gigapascals lower than earlier estimates based on other high-pressure studies.

    X-ray diffraction experiments on the molten iron sulfide, FeS, were conducted up to 5 GPa by using synchrotron radiation. The correlation function g(r) for molten FeS was obtained just above the melting point. The near-neighbor structure of molten FeS does not change with pressure up to 5 GPa. The average nearest-neighbor distance is about 2.4 Å, which is correspond to the atomic distance between Fe and S. The average coordination number is about six. In FeS melt, Fe and S atoms surround each other with an octahedral coordination in near-neighbor region. © 1998, The Japan Society of High Pressure Science and Technology. All rights reserved.

    The structures of molten KCl and KBr were studied by energy dispersive X ray diffraction experiments under high temperature and high pressure using synchrotron radiation. The radial distribution function g(r) for molten KCI and KBr was obtained at several points just above the melting temperatures up to 4 GPa. The second neighbor ionic distance decreases with pressure, although the nearest neighbor distance is almost constant. The coordination number of the nearest neighbor ions increases with pressure. Both melts transform from an open, simple-cubic-like structure into a more highly coordinated structure, probably a body-center-cubic-like structure. The structure of molten KCl changes before the crystalline phase but the molten KBr transforms into a dense phase about the same time as the solid. In both KCl and KBr melts the structural transition occurs over a narrow pressure range.

    © 1998 by the American Geophysical Union. Anvils made of ADC (Advanced Diamond Composite) have been introduced for a double-stage multianvil system. Using a hybrid system for the second stage anvils, composed of four ADC and four WC cubes, we were able to produce pressures to 28 GPa and temperatures exceeding 1500°C. In situ X ray diffraction measurements on some minerals have been successfully performed with a combination of the present high pressure system and synchrotron radiation. Only in two runs some failures of ADC anvils have been observed out of more than 10 runs so far conducted using the MAX80 and MAX90 apparatus at the Photon Factory, National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK). The present system may be used on a routine basis for experiments under pressures to 30 GPa, and at temperatures approaching 2000°C within the force capacity of these apparatus.

    We present the first measurements of carbonate melt viscosity and density at mantle pressures and temperatures and provide important data for modelling carbonatite behaviour within the mantle. Synchrotron radiation was used to observe falling spheres with high atomic number in situ, allowing precise determination of high terminal velocities over short fall distances, The measured viscosities of 1.5 (5) x 10(-2) to 5 (2.5) x 10(-3) Pas are the lowest of any known terrestrial magma types and these measurements extend the region of measurable viscosity at high pressure by at least 2 orders of magnitude. Accurate measurements of K2Ca(CO3)(2) melt density were performed at atmospheric pressure:
    rho(g/cm(3)) = 2.39(2) - 3.85(15) x 10(-4)T(degrees C)
    and are in complete agreement with the predictions of Wolff (1995). The high-pressure density measurements also agree well with molecular dynamics predictions of carbonate melt compressibility.

    Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction experiments of molten KCI under high pressure have been carried out by using synchrotron radiation. The diffraction profiles of molten KCl were acquired just above the melting temperature of KCl up to 4 GPa. The reduced structure factor S(Q)'s for molten KCI do not show any change in their primary features, except for a gradual increase in the first peak intensity with increasing pressure. This implies that molten KCl does not show a first-order phase transition, such as the B1-B2 transition, found in solid KCl, but that the local structure in molten KCl must be changed by compression. According to a molecular-dynamics simulation, this change of S(Q) can be explained by a continuous increase in the coordination number of the nearest-neighbor ions in molten KCl with pressure.

    In situ X-ray diffraction study on KAlSi3O8 has been performed using the cubic type high pressure apparatus, MAX90, combined with synchrotron radiation. We determined the phase relations of sanidine, the wadeite-type K2Si4O9 + kyanite (Al2SiO5) + coesite (SiO2) assemblage, and hollandite-type KAlSi3O8, including melting temperatures of potassic phases, up to 11 GPa. Our data on subsolidus phase boundaries are close to the recent data of Yagi and Akaogi (1991). Melting relations of sanidine are consistent with the low pressure data of Lindsley (1966). The breakdown of sanidine into three phases reduces melting temperature, and wadeite-type K2Si4O9 melts first around 1500 degrees C in three phase coexisting region. Melting point of hollandite-type KAlSi3O8 is between 1700 degrees C and 1800 degrees C at 11 GPa. If these potassic phases host potassium in the earth's mantle, the true mantle solidus temperature will be much lower than the reported dry solidus temperature of peridotite.

    The stability of Mg2SiO4, a major constituent in the Earth's mantle, has been investigated experimentally by in situ observation with synchrotron radiation. A cubic-type high-pressure apparatus equipped with sintered diamond anvils has been used over pressures of 11 to 15 gigapascals and temperatures of 800 degrees to 1600 degrees C. The phase stability of alpha-Mg2SiO4 and beta-Mg2SiO4 was determined by taking account of the kinetic behavior of transition. The phase boundary between alpha-Mg2SiO4 and beta-Mg2SiO4 is approximated by the linear expression P = (9.3 +/- 0.1) + (0.0036 + 0.0002)T, where P is pressure in gigapascals and T is temperature in degrees Celsius.

    The partitioning of Ni between metal and magnesiowustite is experimentally investigated up to 17 GPa. From the thermodynamic analysis of the experimentally determined distribution coefficient, K(D)(M/MW) = (X(Ni)/X(Fe))metal/(X(Ni)/X(Fe))oxide, we obtain seven thermodynamic parameters relevant to its dependency on pressure, temperature and chemical composition. K(D)(M/MW) is strongly dependent on pressure, temperature and MgO content in magnesiowustite. The pressure effect is most effective and K(D)(M/MW) significantly decreases with increasing pressure (i.e., chemical affinity of Ni with magnesiowustite is enhanced by high pressure). K(D) between metal and bulk mantle silicates, K(D)(M/BMS), is estimated on the basis of compiled data of K(D)(M/Silicates) and the extrapolated value of K(D)(M/MW). K(D)(M/BMS) also decreases with pressure. The chemical reaction between sinking Fe alloy and mantle material at high pressure leads that Ni transfer into the mantle material from Fe alloy. From the comparison K(D)(M/BMS) and K(D)(core/mantle), the present high Ni concentration in the earth's uppermost mantle is well explained by the equilibrium partitioning of Ni during core-mantle separation combined with a subsequent mantle differentiation.

    In order to understand the formation, evolution and dynamic processes of the molten core of the terrestrial planets, knowledge of the physical properties, such as viscosity and density, of the molten iron alloy is required. Recent progress in the high-pressure technology combined with synchrotron radiation allows us to measure such properties at high-temperature and high-pressure. In this article, recent advances in the high-pressure research of molten iron alloys are reviewed.

    Some bodies in the solar system have a magnetic field like the earth, and another bodies once had. The magnetic field of an Earth-like rock body originates from a dynamo driven by thermo-compositional convection of the liquid core. The lifetime of the magnetic field depends on how the compositional convection of the liquid Fe-alloy caused by the cooling of the core works. We have clarified how the compositional convection pattern of the Fe-FeS core changes depending on the chemical composition and pressure. It was found that relatively small bodies such as the Earth’s moon solidify mainly from the top of the liquid core, resulting in compositional convection.

    To clarify the core compositions of Mercury and Mars, elastic properties of liquid and solid Fe-alloys were investigated up to the planetary core conditions. We developed simultaneous sound velocity and density measurement system under high pressure and obtained relationship between sound velocity and density. It is found that the effect of alloying elements (C, S, Si, Ni) on the elastic properties of iron shows significantly different trend depending on alloying elements. Based on these results, we estimated the composition and conditions of the planetary cores.

    At the early history of the solar system, molten iron alloy is separated from silicate mantle to form an iron core at the center of the protoplanets. We investigated this process by using high-pressure and high-temperature experiments combined with synchrotron X-ray micro computed tomography. We found that a permeable flow of liquid iron alloy through the crystalline silicate grain boundary is a dominant core-mantle separation process in the protpplanets with which the radius is smaller than several hundred km.

    In order to clarify the effects of light elements on density and elastic wave velocity of liquid Fe-alloy and to constrain the terrestrial core compositions, we have developed simultaneous measurement system of density and sound velocity for liquid materials under pressure. Density and elastic wave velocity were obtained simultaneously for liquid Ni-S and it is found that there is a linear relationship between these two physical properties. We also obtained following results; density and sound velocity of liquid Fe-Ni-C, effect of pressure on density of Fe-C and on sound velocity of Fe-Ni-C. These results provide important aspects for understanding the effect of light elements on the elastic properties of liquid Fe.

  • Density measurements of basaltic magma at high-pressure and high-temperature using X-ray absorption method

    Density of magma is one of the important physical properties to control the transportation of magma in the Earth and planetary interiors. We have established the new technique to measure the density of magma under pressure by using large volume high-pressure apparatus and synchrotron radiation, on which X-ray absorption is based. We have measured the density of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) magma up to about 5 GPa and 2000K by suing high-pressure X-ray absorption technique, which is the most abundant magma on the Earth and the Earth-like planets. Experiments were carried out using the cubic press, SMAP1, installed at BL22XU of SPring-8, where a highly brilliant monochromatic X-ray is available. The basaltic magma was confined in the single crystal diamond capsule that is X-ray transparent rather than silicate, the hardest material, which is uniformly deformed under pressure, and chemically inert with magma. Absorption of X-ray from the basaltic magma was measured up to 4.6 GPa and 1900 K, and density was calculated from Lambert-Beer law, I = I_0exp(-μpt). X-ray absorption measurements give the density of basaltic magma along its melting curve. Fitting the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state to density data yields anomalous negative pressure derivative of the bulk modulus of the basaltic magma. This means the basaltic magma becomes more compressible at higher pressure, opposite to the normal crystalline solid. This result strongly indicates that the structure of basaltic magma is changing with increasing pressure, including the shrinkage of networks of SiO_4 and AIO_4 tetrahedra and the increase of the coordination number of aluminum ions.

    In this fiscal year, I was concentrated on crystallographic orientation measurement and shaping of micro crystal (~500μm or less) of high pressure phases. I introduced a CCD camera to determine X ray position against the small specimen. This system works well even for other projects. Then, I examined appropriate way to shape small specimen, such as treating a grain in water to prevent the specimen flown away.
    I am preparing a sphere specimen of hydrous β spinal with 3wt% water. This crystal was synthesized by Dr. Anton in this institute, and the water content was determined by Dr. Shinoda at Osaka City University by using FTIR method. The crystal structure of hydrous β spinal is monoclinic. Thus to avoid numerical analysis difficulty, I am considering to make a sphere for the final shape of the specimen by applying the air-round method frequently used in crystallography. This project will be the first example of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy to measure single crystal elasticity of high pressure phases.
    Furthermore, we made important progress on data analysis of resonant peaks. With utilizing the specialty of lock-in amplifier detecting signal phase shift against reference input, we tried to peak fitting simultaneously on real and imaginary parts. We confirmed the resolution ability of the new algorithm by examining our own data at around 20-30 MHz successfully. We submitted the result, combined with the hardware progress of high frequency resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy, to Review of Scientific Instruments.

    We measured electrical conductivity of granulite from Hidaka metramorphic belt, Hokkaido, Japan. From the experimental results, we estimated the temperature of the high resistance region at depth of 10-30 km to be 600℃.
    We conducted experiments to estimate connectivity of iron-iron sulfide melts in dunite and lherzolite matrixes by means of electrical conductivity measurement. From this series of experiments, we found that iron-iron sulfide melt connects if its volume proportion is more than 5 %. Therefore, segregation of core material from mantle should have easily occurred in the early history of the Earth.
    We measured electrical conductivity of (Mg_<0.93>Fe_<0.07>)SiO_3 ilmenite at pressures of 25, 35 and 40 GPa and temperature of 500 to 1000 K. We found the pre-exponential term is constant of 3×10 S/m at all of these pressures. The activation energy at 0 GPa and activation volume are 0.69±0.04 eV and -0.90±0.10 cm^3/mol. Thus pressure dependence of ilmenite is quite large.
    We also measured electrical conductivity of (Mg_<0.93>Fe_<0.07>)SiO_3 perovskite at pressures of 35 and 40 GPa and temperature of 500 to 1100 K. We found the pre-exponential term is constant of 1×10 S/m at both of these pressures. The activation energy at 0 GPa and activation volume are 0.39±0.02 eV and -0.06±0.04 cm^3/mol. Thus pressure dependence of pervoskite is one order of magnitude smaller than that of ilmenite.

    We have developed the high-pressure X-ray absorption technique to measure density of silicate melts at high-pressure using synchrotron X-ray and a multi-anvil apparatus, in order to determine partial molar volume of siderophile oxide liquid at high pressure. Density (ρ) is evaluated from X-ray absorption profile of a sample using the equation of I=I_0 exp(-ρμt), where land are intensities of transmitted and incident X-rays, respectively, μ is mass absorption coefficient of sample, and t is sample thickness. In this study, we used a single crystalline diamond cylinder as a sample capsule, because its low X-ray absorption, hardness, and inertness with silicate melts. Diamond capsule makes the densiy measurement of silciate metls under pressure possible.
    High-pressure X-ray absorption experiments were conducted by using a DIA-type cubic anvil apparatus and a highly brilliant monochromatic X-ray at BL22XU of SPring-8,Japan. We used glasses with the compositions both of the MORB and of the Fe-bearing sodium disilicate for starting materials. Although densities of glasses, crystalline solids, and melts were determined up to 5 GPa and 1873 K, we have not determined the partial molar volume of liquid. This method can, however, yield a series of density data at high pressures and temperatures within an error of 1% enough to evaluate the partial molar volume of silicate liquid.

    地球中心核には鉄ニッケル合金の他に酸素・硫黄などの軽元素が約10重量%含まれていると考えられている。鉄一軽元素系融体の密度・粘性・電気伝導度などの物性は、核のダイナミクスや地球形成初期の核マントル分離過程などを明らかにする上で必要不可欠な情報である。これらの物性は温度圧力の関数であるとともに、化学結合性・結晶構造と密接な関連がある。このように鉄一軽元素系融体の構造の研究は物性研究の基本となる。本研究では放射光を用いた高温高圧X線回折実験から高圧下におけるFe-FeS系融体の静的構造を調べ、融体の構造と圧力・組成の関係を明らかにすることを目指している。
    X線回折実験は高エネルギー加速器研究機構・物質構造科学研究所(PF)に設置された高圧X線回折装置MAX90を用いてエネルギー分散法で行った。昨年度FeS融体の構造の圧力変化に関する研究を行い、5GPaまでの圧力下でFeS融体の構造に大きな変化が見られないことを報告した。今年度はFe-FeS2成分系において、融体の構造と組成の関係について研究を進めた。圧力を3GPaに固定し、Fe-FeS系の共融組成を挟んで、Fe側とFeS側の数点の組成の融体に対するX線回折実験を行った。実験データから動径分布関数を求め、融体の近接構造に関する情報を導いた。その結果、Fe-FeS系の融体では共融組成の両側で大きく構造が変化することが確認された。すなわち、共融組成よりFe側ではS濃度の増加にともない第1近接のFe原子の数が減少していくものの純鉄に類似した構造を保持しているのに対し、共融組成よりFeS側では第1近接原子は異種原子であり、ほとんどFeSと同様の構造をとっている。このように、放射光を用いた高圧X線回折法による融体構造の研究は極めて有効であり、鉄一軽元素系の融体物性研究の有力な手段である。

    鉱物の高温弾性を研究する上で、球共振法は有効な方法である。数ミリサイズの大きな単結晶を得ることが不可能な高圧相鉱物に対しては、多結晶焼結体を利用することが考えられる。共振法で多結晶体を利用する場合は弾性的等方体として取り扱うので、試料の等方性が重要となる。また、空隙が存在すると正しく弾性率を評価できないので、空隙のほとんどない試料を準備する必要がある。本研究では、異方性の比較的小さい立方晶系のパイロープを選び、その多結晶体の高温高圧焼結を試みた。パイロープは上部マントルを構成する主要鉱物のひとつであるメジャーライトガ-ネットの端成分のひとつであり、その弾性率の研究は地球科学的にも重要な意味を持つ。高圧実験は岡山大学固体地球研究センターの1000トンプレスを用いた6-8式の2段加圧法で行った。出発試料にはパイロープ組成のガラスを用い、それを白金カプセルに封入し NaCl 圧力媒体中に置いた。焼結は9GPa、1400℃で60分以上保持することで行った。この条件では NaCl は軟化しており、試料にかかる応力は静水圧に近いと考えられる。静水圧下で合成することにより、多結晶試料に異方性が生じることを防ぐことができる。また、減圧時の差応力によって焼結体が割れないように、600℃の高温のまま減圧した。この方法で、理論値とほぼ等しい密度を持つ、空隙のないパイロープの多結晶焼結体を得た。この焼結体の弾性率を球共振法で測定し、体積弾性率と剛性率を決定した。その結果は、単結晶のパイロープに対して報告されている弾性率とほぼ一致し、多結晶焼結体が弾性的等方体であること示している。現在、高温で球共振法による測定を行っているが、150℃までは観測共振周波数に異常が見つかっておらず、高温での弾性率測定が可能であると考えられる。
