Mg4Sb2O9 of the ilmenite structure type
نویسنده
چکیده
Single crystals of the title compound, tetra-magnesium dianti-monate(V), were obtained by the slow cooling method with K(2)CO(3). The structure is isotypic with ilmenite, which is constructed by the alternate stacking of layers consisting of metal-oxygen coordination octa-hedra. In each layer, the octa-hedra are connected by sharing edges so as to make holes. One of the two non-equivalent metal sites is fully occupied by Mg (3 symmetry), while the second metal site (3 symmetry) is disordered and occupied by Mg and Sb with occupation factors of 1/3 and 2/3, respectively.

Biotite, the dominant ferromagnesian mineral in granitoid rocks, can be used to discriminate tectonic setting, magma types and magnetite- ilmenite series. In this study, we analyzed biotite with an electron microprobe (wavelength dispersion) from different granitoids. Intrusive rocks from Maherabad porphyry Cu-Au prospecting are meta-aluminous. Biotite from Maherabad are Mg-rich type and the ra...

The experimental Ti K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum of the mineral ilmenite was recorded. The theoretical Ti K-XANES spectra of ilmenite were simulated using both the self-consistent real-space full-multiple scattering theory within the muffin-tin approximation for the potential shape and the full-potential finite difference method. The comparison of the theoretical...
