    Notes: Abstract The system Na2O-K2O-Al2O2-SiO2-H2O contains many mineral phases of major importance in the diagenesis and metamorphism of shales and sandstones, as well as in felsic igneous rocks and their metamorphic derivatives. It is thus a useful model-system containing many of the key equilibria of concern in the genesis of such rocks. It is also a system for which extensive experimental and thermodynamic data are available. The discontinuous reactions among the phases quartz, albite, potassic feldspar, muscovite, paragonite, pyrophyllite, kaolinite, kyanite, andalusite, sillimanite, jadeite and analcime have therefore been used to construct a model system for mineral facies in “pelitic” rocks. There appear to be fiftynine possible facies types, separated by forty-one discontinuities, only thirtysix of which are readily observed in the field. The continuous reactions, involving rotations of tie-line and displacements of three-phase triangles in the NaAlO2-KAlO2-Al2O3 projection from SiO2-H2O, may be formulated using either an Na or K end-member reaction together with Na-K exchange reactions between coexisting white micas, alkali feldspars and analcimes. The general stoichiometric coefficients for all likely discontinuous reactions have been evaluated in terms of mol fractions of end-members. Available experimental data have been used to calibrate the discontinuous equilibria for the limiting conditions of $$a_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}$$ = 0 and $$a_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}$$ = 1. The (Na-K) facies types may be correlated with (Fe-Mg) facies types in pelitic rocks or with assemblages in mafic rocks.

    Description: Data collected between 1974 and 2016 from snow pits and core samples from two Peruvian ice fields demonstrate the effect of the recent warming over the tropical Andes, augmented by El Niño, on the preservation of the climate record. As the 0 o C isotherm is approaching the summit of the Quelccaya ice cap in the Andes of southern Peru (5670 masl), the distinctive seasonal δ 18 O oscillations in the fresh snow deposited within each thermal year are attenuated at depth due to melting and percolation through the firn. This has become increasingly pronounced over 43 years. In the Andes of northern Peru, the ice field on the col of Nevado Huascarán (6050 masl) has retained its seasonal δ 18 O variations at depth due to its higher elevation. During the 2015/16 El Niño, snow on Quelccaya and Huascarán was isotopically (δ 18 O) enriched and the net sum of accumulation over the previous year (NSA) was below the mean for non-El Niño years, particularly on Quelccaya (up to 64% below the mean) which was more pronounced than the NSA decrease during the comparable 1982/83 El Niño. Interannual large-scale oceanic and middle to upper level atmospheric temperatures influence δ 18 O in precipitation on both ice fields, although the influences are variably affected by strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, especially on Quelccaya. The rate of ice wastage along Quelccaya's margin was dramatically higher during 2015/16 compared with that of the previous 15 years, suggesting that warming from future El Niños may accelerate mass loss on Peruvian glaciers.

    Description: [1]  The nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate in ice cores offers unique potential for examining reactive nitrogen oxide (NO x ) budgets and oxidation chemistry of past atmospheres. A low-latitude record is of particular interest given that the dominant natural sources of NO x and production of hydroxyl radical are most prevalent in the Tropics. Any interpretation of nitrate in ice cores, however, must first consider that nitrate in snow is vulnerable to post-depositional loss and isotopic alteration. We report and assess the integrity of nitrate–δ 15 N, –δ 18 O and –Δ 17 O in a 30 m ice core from a high-elevation site in the central Andes. Clear seasonality in δ 15 N, δ 18 O and nitrate concentration exists throughout most of the record and cannot be explained by photolysis or evaporation based on our current understanding of these processes. In contrast, nitrate in the upper ~12 m of the core and in a snowpit shows very different behavior. This may reflect alteration facilitated by recent melting at the surface. The relationships between δ 15 N, δ 18 O, Δ 17 O and concentration in the unaltered sections can be interpreted in terms of mixing of nitrate from discrete sources. Transport effects and an englacial contribution from nitrification cannot be ruled out at this time, but the observed isotopic compositions are consistent with expected signatures of known NO x sources and atmospheric oxidation pathways. Specifically, nitrate deposited during the wet season reflects biogenic soil emissions and hydroxyl/peroxy radical chemistry in the Amazon while dry season deposition reflects a lightning source and ozone chemistry at higher levels in the Troposphere.

    Notes: Cordierite H2O and CO2 volatile saturation surfaces derived from recent experimental studies are presented for P–T conditions relevant to high-grade metamorphism and used to evaluate fluid conditions attending partial melting and granulite formation. The volatile saturation surfaces and saturation isopleths for both H2O and CO2 in cordierite are strongly pressure dependent. In contrast, the uptake of H2O by cordierite in equilibrium with melts formed through biotite dehydration melting, controlled by the distribution of H2O between granitic melt and cordierite, Dw[Dw = wt% H2O (melt)/wt% H2O(Crd)], is mainly temperature dependent. Dw = 2.5–6.0 for the H2O contents (0.4–1.6 wt percentage) typical of cordierite formed through biotite dehydration melting at 3–7 kbar and 725–900 °C. This range in Dw causes a 15–30% relative decrease in the total wt% of melt produced from pelites. Cordierite in S-type granites are H2O-rich (1.3–1.9 wt%) and close to or saturated in total volatiles, signifying equilibration with crystallizing melts that achieved saturation in H2O. In contrast, the lower H2O contents (0.6–1.2 wt percentage) preserved in cordierite from many granulite and contact migmatite terranes are consistent with fluid-absent conditions during anatexis. In several cases, including the Cooma migmatites and Broken Hill granulites, the cordierite volatile compositions yield aH2O values (0.15–0.4) and melt H2O contents (2.2–4.4 wt%) compatible with model dehydration melting reactions. In contrast, H2O leakage is indicated for cordierite from Prydz Bay, Antarctica that preserve H2O contents (0.5–0.3 wt%) which are significantly less than those required (1.0–0.8 wt%) for equilibrium with melt at conditions of 6 kbar and 860 °C. The CO2 contents of cordierite in migmatites range from negligible (〈 0.1 wt%) to high (0.5–1.0 wt%), and bear no simple relationship to preserved cordierite H2O contents and aH2O. In most cases the cordierite volatile contents yield total calculated fluid activities (aH2O + aCO2) that are significantly less than those required for fluid saturation at the P–T conditions of their formation. Whether this reflects fluid absence, dilution of H2O and CO2 by other components, or leakage of H2O from cordierite is an issue that must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

    Notes: Abstract Chloritoid–hornblende occurs in quartz–muscovite pelitic schist derived from sediment in a volcaniclastic sequence of the Grenville Supergroup and from reworked sedimentary and regolithic material above the unconformity at the base of the Flinton Group. Comparison of these samples with other pelitic rocks on triangular composition diagrams and in the ACNF and ACFM tetrahedra indicates that the presence of hornblende cannot be explained by unusually high CaO content. The rare assemblage is attributed to a combination of relatively low Al2O3 and high K2O with high CaO/(CaO+Na2O) and FeO/(FeO+MgO).On two qualitative reaction grids derived from AFM diagrams projected through CaO and plagioclase, respectively, the P–T stability field of chloritoid–hornblende overlaps the first appearance of staurolite–biotite in normal pelitic rocks in the kyanite field. Staurolite–hornblende overlaps chloritoid–hornblende and extends to the higher temperatures and pressures of the kyanite–hornblende field.The phase relations in these rocks provide a link between the conventional hornblende-absent grids for pelitic rocks and those for K2O-poor (muscovite-absent) pelitic and mafic amphibolitic rocks.

    Notes: The importance of aluminum nitride (AlN) stems from its application in microelectronics as a substrate material due to high thermal conductivity, high electrical resistance, mechanical strength and hardness, thermal durability, and chemical stability. Yttria (Y2O3) is the best additive for AlN sintering. AlN densifies by a liquid-phase mechanism, where the surface oxide, Al2O3, reacts with Y2O3 to form an Y-Al-O-N liquid that promotes particle rearrangement and densification. Construction of the phase relations in this multicomponent system is essential for optimizing the properties of AlN. The ternary phase diagram of the AlN–Al2O3–Y2O3 was developed by Gibbs energy minimization using interpolation procedures based on modeling the binary subsystems. This paper aims at testing the resultant understanding experimentally at selected compositions using in situ high-temperature neutron diffractometry. These experimental results agree with the thermodynamic calculations of AlN–Al2O3–Y2O3. The ternary phase diagram has been constructed for the first time in this work. High-temperature neutron diffractometry has permitted real time measurement of the reactions involved in this ternary system, especially to determine the temperature range for each reaction, which would have been difficult to establish by other means.

    Notes: The processing of stepwise graded Si3N4/SiC ceramics by pressureless co-sintering is described. Here, SiC (high elastic modulus, high thermal expansion coefficient) forms the substrate and Si3N4 (low elastic modulus, low thermal expansion coefficient) forms the top contact surface, with a stepwise gradient in composition existing between the two over a depth of ∼1.7 mm. The resulting Si3N4 contact surface is fine-grained and dense, and it contains only 2 vol% yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) additive. This graded ceramic shows resistance to cone-crack formation under Hertzian indentation, which is attributed to a combined effect of the elastic-modulus gradient and the compressive thermal-expansion-mismatch residual stress present at the contact surface. The presence of the residual stress is corroborated and quantified using Vickers indentation tests. The graded ceramic also possesses wear properties that are significantly improved compared with dense, monolithic Si3N4 containing 2 vol% YAG additive. The improved wear resistance is attributed solely to the large compressive stress present at the contact surface. A modification of the simple wear model by Lawn and co-workers is used to rationalize the wear results. Results from this work clearly show that the introduction of surface compressive residual stresses can significantly improve the wear resistance of polycrystalline ceramics, which may have important implications for the design of contact-damage-resistant ceramics.

    Notes: The tensile creep behavior of an (Al2O3-SiC) nanocomposite that contains 5 vol% of 0.15 μm SiC particles is examined in air under constant-load conditions. For a stress level of 100 MPa and in the temperature range of 1200°–1300°C, the SiC reduces the creep rate of Al2O3 by 2–3 orders of magnitude. In contrast to Al2O3, the nanocomposite exhibits no primary or secondary stages, with only tertiary creep being observed. Microstructural examination reveals extensive cavitation that is associated with SiC particles that are located at the Al2O3 grain boundaries. Failure of the nanocomposite occurs via growth of subcritical cracks that are nucleated preferentially at the gauge corners. A modified test procedure enables creep lifetimes to be estimated and compared with creep rupture data. Several possible roles of the SiC particles are considered, including (i) chemical alteration of the Al2O3 grain boundaries, (ii) retarded diffusion along the Al2O3-SiC interface, and (iii) inhibition of the accommodation process (either grain-boundary sliding or grain-boundary migration).
