AbstractEight perovskites of different compositions and pre-existing vacancy contents were irradiated with 1.5 MeV Kr+ ions using the HVEM-Tandem User Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The critical dose of 1.5 MeV Kr+ ions for amorphisation (Dc) of NaNbO3, SrTiO3 and two natural perovskites varies with composition and may decrease with Na content. The D,c values of 5 members of the solid solution series from SrTiO3 to La0.67TiO3 do not exhibit a simple relationship with vacancy content: In particular, Dc(Sr0 7La0.2TiO3) is extraordinarily high (>170 × 1014 ions cm−2) compared to those of the other (Sr, La)-perovskites in the series, which have Dc values between 2.4 and 11 × 1014 ions cm−2.

SummaryEpidote and clinozoisite are widely distributed in the andesitic lavas and tuffs of the Borrowdale Volcanic Series. Four main types of occurrence may be distinguished, namely quartz-epidote vein fillings; ‘Shap type’ veins, bordered by pink reaction zones rich in SiO2, Na2O, and K2O; autometasomatized lavas and tuffs; and tuffs subjected to alkali metasomatism. Epidote alone formed in the quartz-epidote veins; clinozoisite is found with epidote in the other types of occurrence.Epidote and clinozoisite formed in vesicles at pressures of 10–280 kg/cm2, at temperatures of 300–550° C; epidote associated with pre-Bala mineral veins formed in the range 130–550° C at 1000 kg/cm2; epidote around the Caledonian granites probably formed up to 600° C at about 2000 kg/cm2. Clinozoisite crystallized together with epidote in the vesicles, demonstrating a gap in the clinozoisite-epidote solid solution series. Early formed epidote in vesicles is more strongly coloured than late epidote, although the compositions of the earliest and latest fractions are identical.

The kieserite-type solid-solution series of synthetic (Cu,Mg)SO4·H2O was investigated by TG-analysis and X-ray powder diffraction using the Rietveld method. Representatives with Cu≥20 mol% are triclinic distorted () analogous to the poitevinite (Cu,Fe)SO4·H2O compounds. Cation site ordering with preference of Cu for the more distorted M1 site was additionally proven by the structure refinement.

In the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, minerals from the rinkite–nacareniobsite-(Ce) solid solution series have been found in pulaskite pegmatite, sodalite foyaite, naujaite and naujaite pegmatite from the roof sequence, and in marginal pegmatite, kakortokite and lujavrite from the floor sequence. The electron microprobe analyses embrace almost the full extension of the solid solution series and confirm its continuity. The solid solution series shows similar compositional variations in the roof and floor sequences: Rinkite members of the series are found in the less evolved rocks in the two sequences, whereas nacareniobsite-Ce members occur in the most evolved rocks and pegmatites in the two sequences. The REE (+Y) content varies from 0.83 atoms per formula unit (apfu) in rinkite from pulaskite pegmatite to 1.31 apfu in nacareniobsite-(Ce) from naujaite pegmatite. The main substitution mechanisms in the solid solution series investigated in this work are 2Ca2+ = Na+ + REE3+ and Ti4+ + Ca2+ = Nb5+ + Na+. The increased contents of Nb5+ and REE3+ are only to a minor degree compensated through the F1– = O2– substitution. The chondrite normalised REE patterns of the minerals develop in a similar way in the two sequences, showing relative La-enrichment and Y-depletion from the less to the most evolved rocks. Hainite has not previously been found in the Ilímaussaq complex. It was here identified in a pulaskite pegmatite sample by a combination of X-ray diffraction giving the unit cell dimensions a = 9.5923(7) Å, b = 7.3505(5) Å, c = 5.7023(4) Å, α = 89.958(2)°, β = 100.260(1)°, γ = 101.100(2)°, and X-ray powder pattern and electron microprobe data giving the empirical formula (Ca1.62 Zr0.16Y 0.22) (Na0.87Ca1.11) (Ca 1.65 REE0.35)Na(Ti0.81Nb0.09Fe0.08 Zr0.02)(Si2O7)2O0.99F2.96. Based on published and the present data it is documented that minerals from the hainite-götzenite solid solution series show a compositional variation between the ideal end members (Y,REE,Zr)Na2Ca4Ti(Si2O7)2OF3 and NaCa6Ti(Si2O7)2OF3.
