Abstract

Ranciéte is a hexagonal phyllomanganate mineral containing random Mn(IV) vacancies with hydrated Ca2+ cations charged balanced as interlayer cations. Its Mn2+ analogue is called takanelite, and ranciéite and takanelite are regarded as end-members of a solid solution series of (Ca2+,Mn2+)Mn4O9·nH2O. Because the minerals are found as very small particles associated with other minerals, the crystal structures of the solid solution series have yet to be defined. In this research, we conducted classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ranciéite and takanelite by varying the Mn2+/Ca2+ interlayer cation ratio to find relations between the interlayer cations and mineral structures. MD simulation results of chalcophanite group minerals are compared with experimental results to verify our method applied. Then, lattice parameters of ranciéite and takanelite models are presented along with detailed interlayer structures as to the distribution and coordination of cations and water molecules. This study shows the potentials of MD simulations in entangling complicated phyllomanganates structures.

란시아이트(ranciéite)는 수화된 Ca2+ 양이온이 망간 원자 빈자리를 아래위로 덮고 층간을 채우고 있는 육방정계 층상형 산화망간광물(phyllomanganates)이다. 망간 원자 빈자리를 Mn2+ 양이온이 더 우세하게 채우는 경우, 다카네라이트(takanelite)라는 광물로 구분하며, 란시아이트와 다카네라이트는 서로 고용체를 이룬다. 이 광물들은 입자크기가 매우 작고 다른 광물과 함께 산출되기 때문에 실험만으로 정확한 결정구조를 규명하기 어렵다. 이번 연구에서는 층간 Mn2+/Ca2+ 양이온 비율에 따른 란시아이트-다카네라이트의 결정구조와 층간 구조를 규명하기 위해 고전분자동역학 시뮬레이션(molecular dynamics simulations; MD)을 수행하였다. 연구방법의 적합성을 판단하기 위해 결정구조가 잘 알려진 칼코파나이트 군(chalcophanite group) 광물들에 대해 시뮬레이션 계산을 수행 후 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 이후 층간 양이온 비율에 따른 란시아이트 및 다카네라이트 모델에 대한 MD 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 양이온 함량에 따른 양이온과 물 분자의 분포 및 (001)면간거리를 제시한다.
