Europium L-III-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were recorded for a series of synthetic glasses and melts equilibrated over a range of oxygen fugacities (fO(2)s, from - 14 to + 6 logarithmic units relative to the quartz-fayalite-magnetite, QFM, buffer) and temperatures (1250-1500 degrees C). Eu3+/Sigma Eu (where Sigma Eu = Eu2+ + Eu3+) values were determined from the spectra with a precision of +/- 0.015. Eu3+/Sigma Eu varies systematically with fO(2) from 0 to 1 over the range studied, increases with decreasing melt polymerisation and temperature, and can be described by the empirical equation: Eu3+ / Sigma Eu = 1/1+10(2)(-0.25 log fO)(-6410/T-14.2 Lambda+10.1), where Lambda is the optical basicity of the melt and T is the temperature in K. Eu3+/Sigma Eu in glasses and melts equilibrated at the same conditions are in excellent agreement for Fe-free systems. For Fe-bearing compositions the reaction Eu2+ + Fe3+ = Eu3+ + Fe2+ occurs during quenching to a glass and the high temperature value of Eu3+/Sigma Eu is not preserved on cooling; in situ measurements are essential for determining Eu3+/Sigma Eu in natural melts.
