Structural evolution of calcite at high temperatures: Phase V unveiled
نویسندگان
چکیده
The calcite form of calcium carbonate CaCO₃ undergoes a reversible phase transition between Rc and Rm at ~1240 K under a CO₂ atmosphere of ~0.4 MPa. The joint probability density function obtained from the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data revealed that the oxygen triangles of the CO₃ group in the high temperature form (Phase V) do not sit still at specified positions in the space group Rm, but migrate along the undulated circular orbital about carbon. The present study also shows how the room temperature form (Phase I) develops into Phase V through an intermediate form (Phase IV) in the temperature range between ~985 K and ~1240 K.

Therefore, various samples according to matrix section formulation of low carbon MgO-C refractories (LCMCR’s) with 0 and 6 wt% (Fe/Phenolic resin) were prepared and phase and microstructure ...
متن کاملThe structural and diagenetic evolution of injected sandstones: examples from the Kimmeridgian of NE Scotland
Injected sandstones occurring in the Kimmeridgian of NE Scotland along the bounding Great Glen and Helmsdale faults formed when basinal fluids moved upward along the fault zones, fluidizing Oxfordian sands encountered at shallow depth and injecting them into overlying Kimmeridgian strata. The orientation of dykes, in addition to coeval faults and fractures, was controlled by a stress state rela...
متن کاملDuctile flow in sub-volcanic carbonate basement as the main control for edifice
25 Limestone in volcanic basements has been identified as a hazard in terms of edifice stability 26 due to the propensity of calcite to decompose into lime and CO2 at high temperatures (>600 27 ̊C), causing a decrease in mechanical strength. To date, such hypotheses have been tested by 28 experiments performed at ambient pressure. The present work determines the mechanical 29 strength of limesto...
