“…The four smallest cations in this investigation, namely Ni 2+ (0.70 Â), Mg 2+ (0.72 Â), Co 2 + (0.74 Â), and Zn 2+ (0.75 Â), also display the smallest Fe/Me homogeneity ranges; it seems that the structure at the Fe-poor end of each pseudo-binary phase diagram Fe 3 (P0 4 ) 2 -Me 3 (P0 4 ) 2 is more stable. At 1070 Κ the three isomorphous "y" phases Mg 3 (P0 4 ) 2 , Co 3 (P0 4 ) 2 and "y-Zn 3 (P0 4 ) 2 ", with five-and six-coordinated cations, can incorporate ~ 60 % (Annersten et al, 1980), ~40% (Nord, 1982a), and -40% (Nord and Stefanidis, 1981b) divalent iron, respectively. The olivine-related Ni 3 (P0 4 ) 2 structure, with sixBrought to you by | New York University Bobst Library Technical Service Authenticated Download Date | 6/21/15 1:14 AM (Calvo and Faggiani, 1975), can incorporate as much as 70 % Fe 2 + at 1070 Κ and 1 bar (Ericsson and Nord, 1983).…”
