The structure of silicate melts: Implications for chemical and physical properties of natural magma

Abstract: The structure of melts in binary metal oxide‐silica systems may be described in terms of monomers, dimers, chains, sheets, and three‐dimensional network structures. For the bulk compositions between orthosilicate and tectosilicate, three well‐defined ranges may be distinguished. For bulk nonbridging oxygen per silicon (NBO/Si) of about 2 or less, monomers, dimers, and chains coexist. In the range between metasilicate and disilicate there is usually a combination of monomers, chains, and sheets. Sheets are, how… Show more

“…18 For data analysis, the Raman spectra were fitted to Gaussian bands without any restriction to deconvolute the superimposed Raman peaks. 19,20 The curve fitting was done with a GRAMS/AI ͑7.02͒ software ͑Themo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Waltham, MA͒.…”

“…Several studies performed on silicate glasses and liquids have demonstrated that anhydrous chemical composition and water, the most abundant volatile in magmatic systems, strongly affect the structure (e.g., Mysen et al, 1982;Stolper, 1982a,b;Mysen, 1997;Mercier et al, 2009;Xue, 2009), the physical properties (viscosity, diffusivity, density, heat capacities; Persikov et al, 1990;Ochs and Lange, 1999;Whittington et al, 2000Whittington et al, , 2009Romano et al, 2001;Bouhifd et al, 2006;Vetere et al, 2007;Behrens and Zhang, 2009;Giordano et al, 2009;Fanara et al, 2012;Di Genova et al, 2013, 2014, the phase relationships and crystallization behavior of magmas (Fenn, 1977;Muncill and Lasaga, 1988;Davis et al, 1997;Vona and Romano, 2013). The isobaric heat capacity (Cp) is a thermodynamic property related to variations in the internal energy in a system and to structural changes of the silicate framework in response to temperature variations.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Silica is classified as a strong liquid with an Arrhenius viscosity-temperature relation and only subtle differences occur between the liquid and glass structures. 8,9 In contrast CaO-SiO 2 liquids can be considered fragile based on viscosity measurements 10,11 and consequently larger structural rearrangements are likely to be necessary to form a glass. In this study we combine containerless aerodynamic levitation, high-energy x-ray diffraction and molecular-dynamics ͑MD͒ simulations to interpret and follow the structural evolution of calcium silicate liquids from high temperatures to the glassy state.…”
