9903203Harlow The proposed research is an experimental investigation at high pressure and temperature of potassium- andfluorine-rich minerals/phases that may be stable in variably hydrous environments of Earth's upper mantle. The study will start with a pair of compounds that have been demonstrated to be stable at such Earth conditions but are otherwise inadequately understood; these phases include K-cymrite (KAlSi3O8onH2O), the hydrous analog of K-feldspar, and KMgF3, a perovskite-structure phase used as an analog for silicate perovskites. The research will 1) determine the upper range of pressure and temperature stability of these phases in mineral(fluid assemblages appropriate to known mantle rocks and to crustal rocks that are candidates for subduction into the mantle, 2) characterize the phases with respect to composition, OH content, and structural state, and 3) determine the inter-phase partitioning of constituent elements. Other phases to be included in experiments will be fluorphlogopite, phengitic mica, fluor-K-richterite, and K-feldspar, and results from this study knowledge will improve the knowledge of their stability conditions as well. Experiments will be carried out in Walker-type multianvil apparati, and products will be analyzed by a combination of electron microprobe, scanning-electron microscopic and cathodoluminescence imaging, x-ray diffraction, and FT-IR spectroscopy. Results from the research will be used to improve predictions of the storage of potassium and fluorine in reservoirs in the mantle as compared to the elements' partitioning into fluids and melts.

9903203 Harlow拟议的研究是在高压和高温下对可能在地球上地幔的含水环境中稳定的富钾和富氟矿物/相进行的实验研究。 这项研究将从一对化合物开始，这些化合物已被证明在这种地球条件下是稳定的，但在其他方面还没有得到充分的了解;这些相包括钾-硅铝石（KAlSi 3 O 8 onH 2 O），钾长石的含水类似物，和KMgF 3，钙钛矿结构相用作硅酸盐钙钛矿的类似物。 该研究将1）确定矿物（适合于已知地幔岩石和地壳岩石的流体组合）中这些相的压力和温度稳定性的上限范围，2）表征相的组成，OH含量和结构状态，3）确定组成元素的相间分配。 实验中要包括的其他相将是氟金云母、多晶白云母、氟-钾-锂霞石和钾-长石，并且从这项研究知识中得到的结果也将提高对它们的稳定性条件的认识。 实验将在Walker型多砧装置中进行，并将通过电子探针、扫描电子显微镜和阴极发光成像、X射线衍射和FT-IR光谱的组合来分析产物。 研究结果将用于改进对钾和氟在地幔储层中的储存的预测，而不是将这些元素分配到流体和熔体中。
