  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

  • Ophiolites from the Egyptian Shield: a Case for a Possible Inter-Arc Basin Origin ,' '"'!
    MITI.ÖSTERR.MINER.GES. 148( 2003) OPHIOLITES FROM THE EGYPTIAN SHIELD: A CASE FOR A POSSIBLE INTER-ARC BASIN ORIGIN 2 A. Y. Abdel Aatl, E. S. Farahatl, G. Hoinkes & M. M. EI Mahalawil l Department of Geology Minia University, El-Minia 61 l l l, Egypt 2Jnstitute of Mineralogy and Petrology University of Graz, Universitätsplatz 2, A-8010 Graz, Austria The pyroxene and whole-rock chemistry of the ophiolitic metavolcanics of Wadi Um Seleimat (WUS) and Muweilih (MU) areas in the central Eastem Desert of Egypt are presented. WUS ophiolite suite seems to be intact where it comprises (from bottom to top): serpentinites, pyro­ xenites, metagabbros, massive diabases and pillowed metavolcanics. MU metavolcanics, about lO km to the southeast of WUS area, consists predominantly of metabasaltic-metadiabasic pillowed and massive lava flows together with the corresponding pyroclastics. These meta­ volcanics, together with their associated metagabbros and serpentinites, can be considered as a part of a dismembered ophiolite sequence. The mineral assemblage in WUS rocks is: albite, chlorite, epidote, titanite, calcite and quartz, which indicates a low greenschist facies (230-320'C) metamorphism. The mineral assemblage of MU metavolcanics includes: albite, actinolite, homblende, epidote, chlorite, titanite, calcite, quartz and ilmenite that reflectsa transitional greenschist-amphibolite facies metamorphism.Few samples of WUS contain plentiful clinopyroxene phenocrysts in plagioclase-free glassy ground­ mass. These features aretypical of rocks of boninitic affinity. Whole-rock and pyroxene chemistry demonstrate that the metavolcanics ofboth areas are mainly andesitic basalts with tholeiitic affinity. The boninitic affinity of some samples fromWUS area is shown on Ti0z-Si02/IOO-Na20 diagram of pyroxenes (Fig.

  • STRONG and WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS of TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS and THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth a Dissertati
    STRONG AND WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Scott C. Warren James F. Cahoon Wei You Joanna M. Atkin Matthew K. Brennaman © 2018 Tyler William Farnsworth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler William Farnsworth: Strong and weak interlayer interactions of two-dimensional materials and their assemblies (Under the direction of Scott C. Warren) The ability to control the properties of a macroscopic material through systematic modification of its component parts is a central theme in materials science. This concept is exemplified by the assembly of quantum dots into 3D solids, but the application of similar design principles to other quantum-confined systems, namely 2D materials, remains largely unexplored. Here I demonstrate that solution-processed 2D semiconductors retain their quantum-confined properties even when assembled into electrically conductive, thick films. Structural investigations show how this behavior is caused by turbostratic disorder and interlayer adsorbates, which weaken interlayer interactions and allow access to a quantum- confined but electronically coupled state. I generalize these findings to use a variety of 2D building blocks to create electrically conductive 3D solids with virtually any band gap. I next introduce a strategy for discovering new 2D materials. Previous efforts to identify novel 2D materials were limited to van der Waals layered materials, but I demonstrate that layered crystals with strong interlayer interactions can be exfoliated into few-layer or monolayer materials.

IurnooucrtoN Ofiretite, describedby Gonnard in 1890 (seeDana's System,6th Ed., p. 1043),was examinedby Hey and Fejer (1962)who stated that it was identical to erionite. Bennett and Gard (1967, personal comm.) and the present writers found at the same time but independently that erionite and offretite were both valid species.This paper deals with erionite in some detail together with phillipsite, gonnardite, natrolite and analcime. There are many descriptions of zeolites and associatedminerals in the amygdalesof thoroughly weathered and altered olivine basalt and in the andesite exposed along the seashoreof Maz6, in the Iwamure district, Niigata Prefecture. They include apophyllite (Jimbo, 1907), chabazite (Shimazu and Kawakau;ri, 1967), analcime (Shimizu, 1915), natrolite, thomsonite (Mumeikai Group, 1948), heulandite (Harada, Tomita and Sudo, 1966), iron-rich saponite (Miyamoto, 1957). It is the first dis- covery of erionite in Japan. One other occurrence of erionite in altered basalt was describedby Kamb and Oke (1960) with type paulingite. Zaortrn Assnunr-acBs The above-mentioned zeolites and associatedminerals in the amyg- dales of olivine basalt resemble those of the amygdales of the Antrim basalts reported by Walker (1951, 1959, l96la and l96Ib), although levyne, gmelinite and scoleciteare absent at Maz6,.

They are widely used for applica- tions such as gas adsorption, gas storage, ion exchange and catalysis. The size of the pore opening allows zeolites to be categorized into small, medium, large and extra-large pore zeolites. A typical zeolite is the small pore sili- coaluminophosphate SAPO-34, which is an important catalyst in the MTO (methanol-to-olefin) process.

  • IMA–CNMNC Approved Mineral Symbols
    Mineralogical Magazine (2021), 85, 291–320 doi:10.1180/mgm.2021.43 Article IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991 previously defined abbreviations for mineral groups and species and presents a further 4753 new symbols that cover all currently listed IMA minerals. Adopting IMA– CNMNC approved symbols is considered a necessary step in standardising abbreviations by employing a system compatible with that used for symbolising the chemical elements. Keywords: nomenclature, mineral names, symbols, abbreviations, groups, species, elements, IMA, CNMNC (Received 28 November 2020; accepted 14 May 2021; Accepted Manuscript published online: 18 May 2021; Associate Editor: Anthony R Kampf) Introduction used collection proposed by Whitney and Evans (2010).
