    Notes: Abstract. The problem of designing a periodic interface between two materials in such a way that time-harmonic waves diffracted from the interface have a specified far-field pattern is studied. A minimization problem for the interface is formulated, and it is shown that solutions of constrained bounded variation exist. The differentiability of the cost functional is then studied, with no restrictions on the smoothness of the interface. Some computational issues are discussed, and finally the results of some numerical experiments are presented.

    Notes: Abstract We have measured the mixing properties of Mn-Mg olivine and Mn-Mg garnet at 1300° C from a combination of interphase partitioning experiments involving these phases, Pt-Mn alloys and Mn-Mg oxide solid solutions. Activity coefficients of Mn dilute in Pt-Mn alloys at 1300° C/1 atm were measured by equilibrating the alloy with MnO at known f O 2. Assuming that the log f O 2 of the Mn-MnO equilibrium under these conditions is-17.80 (Robie et al. 1978), we obtain for γMn: logγMn = −5.25 + 3.67 XMn + 11.41X2 Mn Mixing properties of (Mn,Mg)O were determined by reversing the Mn contents of the alloys in equilibrium with oxide at known f O 2. Additional constraints were obtained by measuring the maximum extent of immiscibility in (Mn,Mg)O at 800 and 750° C. The data are adequately described by an asymmetric (Mn,Mg)O solution with the following upper and lower limits on nonideality: (a) WMn = 19.9kj/Mol; WMg = 13.7kj/Mol; (b) WMn = 19.9kj/Mol; WMg = 8.2kj/Mol; Olivine-oxide partitioning was tightly bracketed at 1300° C and oxide properties used to obtain activity-composition relations for Mn-Mg olivine. Despite strong M2 ordering of Mn in olivine, the macroscopic properties are adequately described by a symmetric model with: Wol = 5.5 ± 2.5 kj/mol (1-site basis) Using these values for olivine, garnet-olivine partitioning at 27 kbar/1300° C leads to an Mn-Mg interaction parameter in garnet given by: Wgt = 1.5 ± 2.5kJ/mol (1-site basis) Garnet-olivine partitioning at 9 kbar/1000° C is consistent with the same extent of garnet nonideality and the apparent absence of excess volume on the pyrope-spessartine join indicates that any pressure-dependence of WGt must be small. If olivine and garnet properties are both treated as unknown and the garnet-olivine partitioning data alone used to derive WOl and WGt, by multiple linear regression, best-fit values of 6.16 and 1.44 kJ/mol. are obtained. These are in excellent agreement with the values derived from metal-oxide, oxide-olivine and olivine-garnet equilibria.

    Description: Raman spectroscopic data were obtained for (Mg,Fe) 2 SiO 4 samples during compression to 57 GPa. Single crystals of San Carlos olivine compressed hydrostatically above 41 GPa showed appearance of a new "defect" peak in the 820–840 cm –1 region associated with SiOSi linkages appearing between adjacent $${\mathrm{SiO}}_{4}^{4-}$$ tetrahedra to result in five- or sixfold-coordinated silicate species. Appearance of this feature is accompanied by a broad amorphous background. The changes occur at lower pressure than metastable crystalline transitions of end-member Mg 2 SiO 4 forsterite (Fo-I) into Fo-II and Fo-III phases described recently. We complemented our experimental study using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and anisotropic ion molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations to study the Raman spectra and vibrational density of states (VDOS) of metastably compressed Mg 2 SiO 4 olivine, Fo-II and Fo-III, and quenched melts at high and low pressures. By 54 GPa all sharp crystalline peaks disappeared from observed Raman spectra indicating complete pressure-induced amorphization (PIA). The amorphous (Mg,Fe) 2 SiO 4 spectrum contains Si-O stretching bands at lower wavenumber than expected for $${\mathrm{SiO}}_{4}^{4-}$$ indicating high coordination of the silicate units. The amorphous spectrum persisted on decompression to ambient conditions but with evidence for reappearance of tetrahedrally coordinated units. Non-hydrostatic compression of polycrystalline olivine samples showed similar appearance of the defect feature and broad amorphous features between 43–44 GPa. Both increased in intensity as the sample was left at pressure overnight but they disappeared during decompression below 17 GPa with recovery of the starting olivine Raman signature. A hydrated San Carlos olivine sample containing 75–150 ppm OH was also studied. Significant broadening of the $${\mathrm{SiO}}_{4}^{4-}$$ stretching peaks was observed above 43 GPa but without immediate appearance of the defect or broad amorphous features. However, both of these characteristics emerged after leaving the sample at 47 GPa overnight followed by complete amorphization that occurred upon subsequent pressurization to 54 GPa. During decompression the high-density amorphous spectrum was retained to 3 GPa but on final pressure release a spectrum similar to thermally quenched low-pressure olivine glass containing isolated $${\mathrm{SiO}}_{4}^{4-}$$ groups was obtained. Leaving this sample overnight resulted in recrystallization of olivine. Our experimental data provide new insights into the metastable structural transformations and relaxation behavior of olivine samples including material recovered from meteorites and laboratory shock experiments.

    Description: Pseudotachylytes are accepted as recording paleo-seismicity in the rock record. However, the interpretation of the mechanics of faulting based on pseudotachylyte generation is often hindered because the depth at which they form is poorly constrained. Here, we use thermochronology to determine the depth at which pseudotachylytes in the Sierra Nevada, California, formed. The pseudotachylytes formed in ≤10 m long patches over a rupture surface, the rest of which comprised cataclasites that did not melt. The age of the pseudotachylytes is found to be 76.6 ± 0.3 Ma (2σ) from 40Ar/39Ar dating of pristine vein matrix. A suite of thermochronometers define the temperature-time path of the host rock granodiorite from ∼550 to 60°C. When the pseudotachylytes formed, the ambient temperature was 110 to 160°C, implying a depth of ∼2.4 to 6.0 km under typical geothermal gradients. At these depths, the failure stress on optimally oriented faults with Byerlee friction and hydrostatic pore pressure was ≤51 MPa. Following melting, the dynamic stress acting on the fault is the melt shear resistance, which we calculate to be

    Description: We investigate the seismic structure of the upper-mantle and mantle transition zone beneath India and Western China using PP and SS underside reflections off seismic discontinuities, which arrive as precursors to the PP and SS arrival. We use high-resolution array seismic techniques to identify precursory energy and to map lateral variations of discontinuity depths. We find deep reflections off the 410 km discontinuity ( P 410 P and S 410 S ) beneath Tibet, Western China and India at depths of 410–440 km and elevated underside reflections of the 410 km discontinuity at 370–390 km depth beneath the Tien Shan region and Eastern Himalayas. These reflections likely correspond to the olivine to wadsleyite phase transition. The 410 km discontinuity appears to deepen in Central and Northern Tibet. We also find reflections off the 660 km discontinuity beneath Northern China at depths between 660 and 700 km ( P 660 P and S 660 S ) which could be attributed to the mineral transformation of ringwoodite to magnesiowuestite and perovskite. These observations could be consistent with the presence of cold material in the middle and lower part of the mantle transition zone in this region. We also find a deeper reflector between 700 and 740 km depth beneath Tibet which cannot be explained by a depressed 660 km discontinuity. This structure could, however, be explained by the segregation of oceanic crust and the formation of a neutrally buoyant garnet-rich layer beneath the mantle transition zone, due to subduction of oceanic crust of the Tethys Ocean. For several combinations of sources and receivers we do not detect arrivals of P 660 P and S 660 S although similar combinations of sources and receivers give well-developed P 660 P and S 660 S arrivals. Our thermodynamic modelling of seismic structure for a range of compositions and mantle geotherms shows that non-observations of P 660 P and S 660 S arrivals could be caused by the dependence of underside reflection coefficients on the incidence angle of the incoming seismic waves. Apart from reflections off the 410 and 660 km discontinuities, we observe intermittent reflectors at 300 and 520 km depth. The discontinuity structure of the study region likely reflects lateral thermal and chemical variations in the upper-mantle and mantle transition zone connected to past and present subduction and mantle convection processes.
