Abstract

Garnet is one of the major minerals down to the top of lower mantle approximately 660 km with spinel and pyroxenes. Garnet transforms into perovskite and corundum in the lower mantle, however its sequence is still in controversy. We measured the compressibility of a natural almandine at high-pressure up to 62 CPa using Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell (DAC) at room temperature. Chemical formula of the specimen is ($Fe_{2.52}Ca_{0.21}Mg_{0.18}Mn_{0.12})Al_{2.23}Si_{2.97}O_{12}$. Results of this compression study are as follows: a : $10.175\;{\AA}$, V : $1251.16\;{\AA}^{3}$, $D_{x}$ : $5.265\;g/cm^{3}$ at 62 GPa; bulk modulus is 156 GPa using Birch-Murnaghan equation of state (EoS) with a fixed $K_{0}\;'$ of 4. This study would be the first time attempt accomplished with the high pressure DAC using synchrotron radiation at the Pohang Light Source (PLS) in Korea.

석류석은 하부맨틀의 최상부인 약 660 km깊이까지 올리빈, 휘석과 함께 주요한 구성광물 중의 하나이다. 석류석은 약 660 km를 지나 하부맨틀에서 페롭스카이트와 코런덤으로 상변이를 하는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 실험방법 및 상변이 깊이와 상변이 경로에 대해서 아직까지 논쟁의 대상이 되고 있다. 실험은 천연산 알만딘(($Fe_{2.52}Ca_{0.21}Mg_{0.18}Mn_{0.12})Al_{2.23}Si_{2.97}O_{12}$)에 마오-벨 타입의 다이아몬드 앤빌기기를 이용하여 실온에서 62 GPa까지 압축실험을 시행하여 체적탄성계수를 결정하였다. 실험결과는 다음과 같다 : 62 GPa에서 격자상수 = $10.775\;{\AA}$, 체적 = $1251.16\;{\AA}^{3}$, X-선밀도 = $5.265\;g/cm^{3}$, 버치-머내한 상태방정식을 이용하여 계산한 체적탄성계수는 156 GPa이다(이때 $K_{0}\;'$는 4로 가정함). 본 연구는 포항가속기연구소의 방사광을 이용하여 시행한 국내 첫 고압실험결과이다.
