<p>To understand the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of glaucophane and epidote and deformation microstructures at the top of a subducting slab in a warm subduction zone, deformation experiments of epidote blueschist were conducted in simple shear by using a modified Griggs apparatus. Deformation experiments were performed under high pressure (0.9–1.5 GPa), temperature (400–500 °C), shear strain (γ) in the range of 0.4–4.5, and shear strain rate of 1.5×10<sup>-5</sup>–1.8×10<sup>-4</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. After experiments, CPO of minerals were determined by electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique, and microstructures of deformed minerals were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At low shear strain (γ ≤ 1), the [001] axes of glaucophane were in subparallel alignment to shear direction, and the (010) poles were sub-normally aligned to the shear plane. At high shear strain (γ > 2), the [001] axes of glaucophane were in subparallel alignment to shear direction, and the [100] axes were sub-normally aligned to the shear plane. At a shear strain between 2 < γ < 4, the (010) poles of epidote were in subparallel alignment to shear direction, and the [100] axes were sub-normally aligned to the shear plane. At a high shear strain where γ > 4, the alignment of the (010) epidote poles had altered from subparallel to subnormal to the shear plane, while the [001] axes were in subparallel alignment to the shear direction. TEM observations and EBSD mapping revealed that the CPO of glaucophane was developed by dislocation creep, somewhat affected by the cataclastic flow at high shear strain. On the other hand, the CPO development of epidote is considered to have been affected by dislocation creep under a shear strain of 2 < γ < 4 but is highly affected by cataclastic flow with rigid body rotation under a high shear strain (γ > 4). Our experimental results indicate that the magnitude of shear strain and rheological contrast between component minerals plays an important role on the formation of CPOs of glaucophane and epidote.</p>

Lattice Preferred Orientation

&lt;p&gt;The lattice preferred orientation(LPO) of amphibole has a large effect on seismic anisotropy in the crust. Previous studies have reported four LPO types (I&amp;#8211;IV) of amphibole, but the genesis of type IV LPO, which is characterized by [100] axes aligned in a girdle subnormal to the shear direction, is unknown. In this study, shear deformation experiments on amphibolite were conducted to find the genesis of type IV LPO at high pressure (0.5 GPa) and temperature (500&amp;#8211;700 &amp;#176;C). The type IV LPO was found under high shear strain (&amp;#947; &gt; 3.0) and the sample exhibited grains in a range of sizes but generally smaller than the grain size of samples with lower shear strain. The seismic anisotropy of type IV LPO is lower than in types I-III. The weak seismic anisotropy of highly deformed amphibole could explain weak seismic anisotropy observed in the middle crust.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract. We sheared synthetic polycrystalline ice at temperatures of −5, −20 and −30 °C, to different shear strains, up to γ = 2.6 (equivalent strain of 1.5). Cryo-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) shows that basal intra-crystalline slip planes become preferentially oriented parallel to the shear plane, in all experiments. This is visualized as a primary cluster of crystal c-axes (the c-axis is perpendicular to the basal plane) perpendicular to the shear plane. In all except the two highest-strain experiments at −30 °C, a secondary cluster of c-axes is observed, at an angle to the primary cluster. With increasing strain, the primary c-axis cluster strengthens. With increasing temperature, both clusters strengthen. In the −5 °C experiments, the angle between the two clusters reduces with increasing strain. The c-axis clusters are elongated perpendicular to the shear direction. This elongation increases with increasing shear strain and with decreasing temperature. Highly curved grain boundaries are more prevalent in samples sheared at higher temperatures. At each temperature, the proportion of and irregularity of curved boundaries decreases with increasing shear strain. Subgrains are observed in all samples. Recrystallized grains and subgrains are similar in size and are both smaller than the original grains. Microstructural interpretations and comparisons of the data from experimentally sheared samples with numerical models suggest that the observed crystallographic orientation patterns result from a balance of the rates of lattice rotation (during dislocation creep) and growth of grains by strain-induced grain boundary migration (GBM). GBM is faster at higher temperatures and becomes less important as shear strain increases. These observations and interpretations provide a hypothesis to be tested in further experiments and using numerical models, with the ultimate goal of aiding the interpretation of crystallographic preferred orientations in naturally deformed ice.

Abstract. Synthetic polycrystalline ice was sheared at temperatures of −5, −20 and −30 ∘C, to different shear strains, up to γ=2.6, equivalent to a maximum stretch of 2.94 (final line length is 2.94 times the original length). Cryo-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis shows that basal intracrystalline slip planes become preferentially oriented parallel to the shear plane in all experiments, with a primary cluster of crystal c axes (the c axis is perpendicular to the basal plane) perpendicular to the shear plane. In all except the two highest-strain experiments at −30 ∘C, a secondary cluster of c axes is observed, at an angle to the primary cluster. With increasing strain, the primary c-axis cluster strengthens. With increasing temperature, both clusters strengthen.

Abstract. Microstructures provide key insights into understanding the mechanical behavior of ice. Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) develops during plastic deformation as ice dynamically recrystallizes, with the dominance of intracrystalline glide on the basal plane. CPO patterns in fine-grained ice have been relatively well characterized and understood in experiments and nature, whereas CPO patterns in "warm" (T > −10 ºC), coarse-grained, natural ice remain enigmatic. Previous microstructural studies of coarse-grained ice have been limited to c-axis orientations using light optical measurements. We have developed a new sample preparation technique, by constructing composite sections, to allow us to use electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to obtain a representative, bulk CPO on coarse-grained ice. We suggest that a grain sampling bias of large, branching crystals that appear multiple times as island grains in thin section may result in the typical multiple maxima CPOs previously identified in warm, coarse-grained ice that has been subjected to prolonged shear. CPOs combined from multiple samples of highly sheared ice from Storglaciären provide a more comprehensive picture of the microstructure and yield a pronounced cluster of c-axes sub-normal to the shear plane and elongate or split in a plane normal to the shear direction, and a concomitant girdle of a-axes parallel to the shear plane with a maximum perpendicular to the shear direction. This pattern compares well with patterns produced by sub-sampling data sets from experimentally sheared ice at high homologous temperatures up to strains of ~ 1.5. Shear strains in the margin of Storglaciären are much higher than those in experimental work. At much lower natural strain rates, dynamic recrystallization, particularly grain boundary migration, may have been more effective so that the CPO has been continuously reset and represents a smaller, final fraction of the shear history, rather than the entire finite strain history.

Abstract. Torsion experiments were performed in polycrystalline ice at high temperature (0.97 Tm) to reproduce the simple shear kinematics that are believed to dominate in ice streams and at the base of fast-flowing glaciers. As clearly documented more than 30 years ago, under simple shear ice develops a two-maxima c axis crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO), which evolves rapidly into a single cluster CPO with a c axis perpendicular to the shear plane. Dynamic recrystallization mechanisms that occur in both laboratory conditions and naturally deformed ice are likely candidates to explain the observed CPO evolution. In this study, we use electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and automatic ice texture analyzer (AITA) to characterize the mechanisms accommodating deformation, the stress and strain heterogeneities that form under torsion of an initially isotropic polycrystalline ice sample at high temperature, and the role of dynamic recrystallization in accommodating these heterogeneities. These analyses highlight an interlocking microstructure, which results from heterogeneity-driven serrated grain boundary migration, and sub-grain boundaries composed of dislocations with a [c]-component Burgers vector, indicating that strong local stress heterogeneity develops, in particular, close to grain boundaries, even at high temperature and high finite shear strain. Based on these observations, we propose that nucleation by bulging, assisted by sub-grain boundary formation and followed by grain growth, is a very likely candidate to explain the progressive disappearance of the c axis CPO cluster at low angle to the shear plane and the stability of the one normal to it. We therefore strongly support the development of new polycrystal plasticity models limiting dislocation slip on non-basal slip systems and allowing for efficient accommodation of strain incompatibilities by an association of bulging and formation of sub-grain boundaries with a significant [c] component.

Seismic anisotropy of S-wave, trench-parallel or trench-normal polarization direction of fast S-wave, has been observed in the fore-arc and back-arc regions of subduction zones. Lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of elastically anisotropic chlorite has been suggested as one of the major causes of seismic anisotropy in subduction zones. However, there are two different LPOs of chlorite reported based on the previous studies of natural chlorite peridotites, which can produce different expression of seismic anisotropy. The mechanism for causing the two different LPOs of chlorite is not known. Therefore, we conducted deformation experiments of chlorite peridotite under high pressure–temperature conditions (P = 0.5–2.5 GPa, T = 540–720 °C). We found that two different chlorite LPOs were developed depending on the magnitude of shear strain. The type-1 chlorite LPO is characterized by the [001] axes aligned subnormal to the shear plane, and the type-2 chlorite LPO is characterized by a girdle distribution of the [001] axes subnormal to the shear direction. The type-1 chlorite LPO developed under low shear strain (γ ≤ 3.1 ± 0.3), producing trench-parallel seismic anisotropy. The type-2 chlorite LPO developed under high shear strain (γ ≥ 5.1 ± 1.5), producing trench-normal seismic anisotropy. The anisotropy of S-wave velocity (AVs) of chlorite was very strong up to AVs = 48.7% so that anomalous seismic anisotropy in subduction zones can be influenced by the chlorite LPOs.

AbstractLayered and polycrystalline ice was experimentally deformed in general shear involving axial compression (strain magnitude 0.5-17%) and simple shear (strain magnitude γ = 0.1-1.4). As the temperature is increased from -20°C to -2°C, there is at least a twofold enhancement in octahedral shear strain rate, which coincides with the onset of extensive dynamic recrystallization and a change in grain-size distribution at -15°C. Between -150C and -10°C the c-axis preferred orientation rapidly evolves with the initiation of two-maxima fabrics in shear zones. From -10°C to -2°C there is progressive evolution of a final c-axis pattern that is asymmetric with respect to the direction of shortening, with a strong maximum at ~5° to the pole of the shear zone, a sense of asymmetry in the direction of the shear, and a secondary maximum inclined at ~45° to the plane of shearing. An initial c-axis preferred orientation plays a critical role in the initial mechanical evolution. In contrast to established ideas, a strong alignment of basal planes parallel to the plane of easy glide inhibited deformation and there was an increased component of strain hardening until recrystallization processes become dominant.
