Track-thermoluminescence Analysis of the Luna-24 Silicate Grains: the Degree of Shock-thermal Reworking
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction. Previous track-thermoluminescence (TL) investigations [1, 2] of the lunar regolith silicate crystals demonstrate the possibility of measuring of the effects from the local shock-thermal events initiated chiefly by micrometeorite

Annealing of Silicate Dust by Nebular Shocks at 10 AU
Silicate dust grains in the interstellar medium are known to be mostly amorphous, yet crystalline silicate grains have been observed in many long-period comets and in protoplanetary disks. Annealing of amorphous silicate grains into crystalline grains requires temperatures > ∼ 1000K, but exposure of dust grains in comets to such high temperatures is incompatible with the generally low temperatu...
متن کاملInvestigation of composite powder synthesis (Al2O3-WXSiY-WXBY) in aluminothermic combustion system (Al+B2O3+Si+WO3) using thermal analysis
Composites that are including silicide of tungsten and boride of tungsten intermetallic compound have properties such as high hardness, relatively good thermal shock, chemical stability and high strength at high temperature. The purpose of this investigation is evaluation of phase and microstructure of alumina base composite reinforced by boride and silicide of tungsten in three systems 1-Al+...
متن کاملMetallic Phases in the Luna 24 Soil Samples
The metal and sulfide phases in the Luna 24 soil samples were studied with the optical microscope and the electron microprobe. The compositions of the metal particles fall into three groups based on their Ni and Co contents: (1) Samples of meteoritic composition which have undergone metamorphism on the lunar surface. (2) Samples of submeteoritic, low Ni and low Co contents, including most of th...
متن کاملPost-shock Annealing and Post-annealing Shock: Implications for the Thermal and Shock Histories of Ordinary-chondrite Parent Bodies
A common view of the thermal and shock histories of ordinary-chondrite (OC) parent bodies is that, for the most part, thermal and shock metamorphism were distinguishable and successive events; e.g., the decay of 26 Al heated chon-dritic planetesimals and subsequent impacts produced various shock effects. Although collisions have long been acknowledged as capable of producing significant heating...
متن کاملTEM OBSERVATIONS OF AMORPHIZED SILICATE-PEROVSKITE, AKIMOTOITE AND Ca-RICH MAJORITE IN A SHOCK-INDUCED MELT VEIN IN THE TENHAM L6 CHONDRITE
Introduction: Tenham is a famous highly shocked L6 chondrite. Previous studies revealed a series of high-pressure minerals in the melt vein, including ringwoodite, majorite, wadsleyite, magnesiowüstite, akimotoite, silicate-perovskite, and hollanditestructured plagioclase [1-8]. These high-pressure minerals have been studied intensively in static highpressure experiments [9,10]. The presence of...
