Ultrahigh pressure structural changes in a 60 mol. % Al2O3–40 mol. % SiO2 glass

Abstract: Structure of an Al-containing silicate glass (60 mol. % Al 2 O 3-40 mol. % SiO 2 , A40S) is investigated up to 131 GPa, a pressure close to that of the Earth's coremantle boundary, by using our recently developed double stage large volume cell. The first peak (r1) of the pair distribution function, which corresponds to TO distance (T = Al, Si), rapidly increases below 16 GPa, indicating an increase of average coordination number (CN) of TO from ~4 to 6. The r1 linearly decreases in the pressure range of 25-110… Show more

“…We note that during the static compression of aluminosilicate glasses and melts, the [5,6] Al fraction gradually increases over a wide range of pressures (>∼30 GPa). By contrast, the coordination transformation during permanent densification occurs within only a narrow pressure span of ∼7 GPa (Figures and ). Figure A shows that the [5,6] Al fraction increases with increasing decompression pressure from ∼6% (at 1 atm) to ∼13% (at 6 GPa).…”

“…Benefitting from the broad energy range of the beamline and the large opening access of the PE press, the energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXD) setup at the beamline covers a large momentum transfer (large-Q), allowing for the collection of structure factor data (q) between 1 and 30 Å −1 . A large q coverage is essential for reliable structural information in particular of amorphous materials and melts (Kono et al 2016 , 2020b ; Ohira et al 2019 ; Shu et al 2020b ; Eastmond et al 2021 ). PE press inside the 16-BM-B station and the schematic of the setup is shown in Fig.…”

“…The large sample volume not only makes it possible to detect weak scattered signals but also provides needed space for effective collimation to suppress the unwanted background signals from surrounding materials. Recently, the double-stage PE press assembly has been used for measuring structure factors and pair distribution functions of glasses and melts in the Mbar pressure region (Kono et al 2016 , 2020b ; Ohira et al 2019 ; Shu et al 2020b ).…”

“…Aluminium Silicate (AS2) glass plays an important role in several geochemical applications, such as low-melting glassy materials, radiation shielding materials, photonics and the electronic industry. As we know, AS2 is another multi-component oxide system with a network-forming structure [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Many experimental techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray scattering, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy [10][11][12][13][14] found evidence for structural units, such as 3-fold coordinated by O atoms and 5-and 6-fold coordinated by Si (Al) atoms that are not found in pure SiO2, unless one considers SiO2 glass at a high-pressure region.…”
