AbstractThe weathering of hornblende in the Rehiran profile has been investigated by optical, X-ray, infrared and differential thermal methods. Optical studies of the fresh hornblende show that it contains discrete lamellar intergrowths of another amphibole which, from infrared evidence, is of an iron-rich nature. This minor phase is selectively weathered in the lower horizons and yields a clay mineral which was identified as interstratified swelling chlorite-saponite. The major hornblende component remains relatively unchanged. Single crystal photographs indicate that the formation of the clay mineral is not structurally controlled by the parent hornblende, although there is a tendency towards alignment along cleavage planes. The clay mineral becomes unstable in the upper part of the profile and could not be detected in the A horizon. Comparisons are made with the findings of other workers.

AbstractThe main clay mineral in weathered basaltic rubble has been shown by X-ray diffraction, chemical, infrared and differential thermal methods to be an interstratification of montmorillonite, vermiculite and illite in the approximate ratio 2:1:1, the montmorillonite having some degree of segregation and the vermiculite and illite being randomly interstratified. All three components are dioctahedral, the swelling ones having a high tetrahedral charge, a large aluminium content, and very little iron. Despite the 50% montmorillonite content of the mineral, its infrared absorption pattern is generally illitic in character.

Potassium Nitrite

A microthermostat design for single crystal studies is described which gives control of specimen temperature in the range 30 to 100°C to an accuracy of ± 0.1 degC. For X-ray diffraction experiments the furnace comprises a beryllium tube chamber. For optical studies, the control system is combined with a chamber suitable for mounting on the stage of a polarizing microscope. Temperature cycles with single crystals of potassium nitrite indicate that the thermal transformation around 40°C from a monoclinic structure to one which is probably cubic, is continuous and reversible. Hysteresis is found in the transformation; high- and low-temperature structures co-exist in a hybrid single crystal over a temperature range.

Mineral Identification

Experimental clay mineral-organic molecule complexes long have been known and some of them have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The organic molecules are adsorbed onto the surfaces of the clay minerals, or intercalated between the silicate layers. Natural organo-clays also are widely recognized but generally have not been well characterized. Widely used techniques for clay mineral identification involve treatment of the sample with H2 O2 or other oxidant to destroy any associated organics. This generally simplifies and intensifies the XRD pattern of the clay residue, but helps little with the characterization of the original organoclay. Adequate techniques for the direct observation of synthetic and naturally occurring organoclays are yet to be developed.

Uniaxial compression tests and hydrostatic tests at pressures up to 27 kbars have been performed to determine operating slip systems in single crystal and polycrystal1ine beryllium. A recent study has been made of wave propagation in single crystal beryllium by shock loading to selectively activate various slip systems, and this has been followed by a study of wave propagation and spallation in textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. An alteration in the X-ray diffraction pattern has been noted after shock loading, but this alteration has not yet been correlated with any structural change occurring during shock loading of polycrystal1ine beryllium.This study is being conducted in an effort to characterize the effects of shock loading on textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. Samples were fabricated from a billet of Kawecki-Berylco hot pressed HP-10 beryllium.
