High Pressure Elastic Behavior of Synthetic Mg3Y2(SiO4)3Garnet up to 9 GPa

[摘要] The compression behavior of synthetic magnesium- (Mg-) yttrium (Y) garnet Mg3Y2(SiO4)3has been investigated upto about 8.79 GPa at 300 K usingin situangle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and a diamond anvil cell at the beamline X17C, National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. No phase transition has been observed within the pressure range investigated. The unit-cell parameters and volume decreased systematically with increasing pressure, and a reliable isothermal bulk modulus (KT0) and its pressure derivative (KT0′) were obtained in this study. The values of zero-pressure volumeV0,K0, andK0′refined with a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state areV0=1727.9±0.2 Å3,KT0=145±3 GPa, andK0′=8.5±0.9. IfKT0′is fixed at 4,KT0is obtained as158±2 GPa.
