(Patynskiy massif), Tashtagolskiy District, Kemerovo (Kemerovskaya) Oblast’, Southern Siberia, Russia. Patynite forms lamellae up to 1 0.5 cm and is closely intergrown with charoite, tokkoite, diopside, and graphite. × Other associated minerals include monticellite, wollastonite, pectolite, calcite, and orthoclase. Patynite is colorless in individual lamellae to white and white-brownish in aggregates. It has vitreous to silky luster, white streaks, brittle tenacity, and stepped fractures. Its density measured by flotation in Clerici solution is 2.70(2) g/cm3; density calculated from the empirical formula is 2.793 g/cm3. The Mohs’ hardness is 6. Optically, patynite is biaxial ( ) with α = 1.568(2), β = 1.580(2), and γ = − 1.582(2) (589 nm). The 2V (measured) = 40(10)◦ and 2V (calculated) = 44.1◦. The Raman and IR 2 spectra shows the absence in the mineral of H2O, OH−, and CO3 − groups and B–O bonds. The chemical composition is (electron microprobe, wt.%): Na2O 3.68, K2O 5.62, CaO 26.82, SiO2 64.27, total 100.39. The empirical formula based on 23 O apfu is Na1.00K1.00Ca4.02Si8.99O23. Patynite is triclinic, space group P1. The unit-cell parameters are: a = 7.27430(10), b = 10.5516(2), c = 13.9851(3) 3 Å, α = 104.203(2)◦, β = 104.302(2)◦, γ = 92.0280(10)◦, V = 1003.07(3) Å , Z = 2. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.032. Patynite is an inosilicate with a new type 10 20 of sextuple branched tubular chain [(Si9O23) −] with an internal channel and [(Si18O46) −] as the 1 repeat unit. The strongest lines of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern [dobs,Å(I, %) (hkl)] are: 3.454 (100) (2-1-1), 3.262 (66) (2-1-2), 3.103 (64) (02-4), 2.801 (21), 1.820 (28) (40-2).

It has attracted thousands of geologists, prospectors, and mineral collectors despite its remote location. It is famous for a dozen new and rare minerals, including the gemstones charoite and dianite (the latter is the market name for strontian potassicrichrerite), as well as for a range of uncommon alkaline igneous rocks. Despite this, the age of the Malyy Murun igneous complex and associated metasomatic and hydrothermal mineral associations has remained poorly constrained until now. In this paper, we provide extensive 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data to reveal its age and temporal history. It appears that, although unique in terms of rocks and constituent minerals, the Malyy Murun is just one of multiple alkaline massifs and lavas emplaced in the Early Cretaceous (~137–128 Ma) within a framework of the extensional setting of the Aldan Shield and nearby Transbaikalian region.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Combined micro-Fourier transform infrared (micro-FTIR) and electron probe microanalyses (EPMA) were performed on a single crystal of charoite from Murun Massif (Russia) in order to get a deeper insight into the vibrational features of crystals with complex − structure and chemistry. The micro-FTIR study of a single crystal of charoite was collected in the 6000–400 cm 1 at room ° temperature and after heating at 100 C. The structural complexity of this mineral is reflected by its infrared spectrum. The analysis revealed a prominent absorption in the OH stretching region as a consequence of band overlapping due to a combination of H O and OH stretching vibrations. Several overtones of the O-H and Si-O stretching vibration bands were 2 − − observed at about 4440 and 4080 cm 1 such as absorption possibly due to the organic matter at about 3000–2800 cm 1.No significant change due to the loss of adsorbed water was observed in the spectrum obtained after heating.

The glass-ceramic compositions studied included four that crystallised to fluorcanasite, one which crystallised to barium fluorphlogopite and one which crystallised to fluorrichterite. In the fluorcanasite glasses, prior to crystallisation, the fluorine was present solely as an F–Ca(n) species whilst following crystallisation it was also present as an F–Ca(n) species in the fluorcanasite phase and in those glasses containing AlPO4 it was also present as an F–Ca(n) species in fluorapatite. In the fluorrichterite and fluorphlogopite glasses the fluorine was present predominantly as F–Mg(3) and following crystallisation it was also present as F–Mg(3) in the fluorrichterite and fluorphlogopite phases.

  • Investigating the Validity of the ISO 6872:2015 'Dentistry
    Investigating the Validity of the ISO 6872:2015 ‘Dentistry - Ceramic Materials’ for Chemical Solubility By: Rayan Hawsawi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Academic Unit of Restorative Dentistry School of Clinical Dentistry The University of Sheffield December 2018 Summary Most research regarding dental ceramics focuses on the mechanical, physical and optical properties. These properties are important; however, the chemical durability of dental ceramics is also significant. The oral cavity is a complex environment, ‘in vitro’ studies have not succeeded in replicating the solubility measurements of dental ceramics perfectly. The International Organization for Standardisation has published revised chemical solubility testing methods for dental ceramics ISO 6872. These methods failed to improve the reproducibility of the chemical solubility findings (Stokes et al., 2002), which led many researchers to develop alternative methods. Nevertheless, these ISO methods have received limited criticism in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the validity of the ISO 6872 (BS ISO, 2015) ‘Dentistry: Ceramic materials’ for chemical solubility, and if required design a superior method. The current standard ISO 6872 (BS ISO, 2015) specifies the total surface area of the test specimens only. Therefore, the research hypothesis is that any alteration of the specimens’ geometry will affect the chemical solubility value of the same material. II The initial findings showed that chemical solubility can be manipulated by altering the geometry of individual test specimens whilst still complying with the current standard. Characterisation tests such as SEM, EDS, XRD, ICP and Vickers hardness were performed to investigate the effects of the test environment on the specimens.

  • Improved Performances of Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramics by Seed Induced Crystallization
    Journal of Advanced Ceramics 2021, 10(3): 614–626 ISSN 2226-4108 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40145-021-0463-4 CN 10-1154/TQ Research Article Improved performances of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics by seed induced crystallization Ting ZHAOa, Mei-Mei LIANa, Yi QINa,*, Jian-Feng ZHUa, Xin-Gang KONGa, Jian-Feng YANGb aSchool of Materials Science and Engineering, Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Green Preparation and Functionalization for Inorganic Materials, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi’an 710021, China bState Key Laboratory for Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an 710049, China Received: July 25, 2020; Revised: January 22, 2021; Accepted: January 22, 2021 © The Author(s) 2021. Abstract: Self-reinforced lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5, LD) glass-ceramics were hot pressing sintered by introducing 5 wt% Li2Si2O5 crystal seeds into two different glass compositions of SiO2–Li2O–P2O5–ZrO2–Al2O3–K2O–La2O3 (7C LD) and SiO2–Li2O–K2O–La2O3 (4C LD). The results show that the seeds play an important role in the crystallization inducement, and microstructural and property improvement of the glass, especially for the glass powder without the nucleating agent of P2O5. The microstructure features a wider bimodal grain size distribution with large rod-like crystals epitaxially grown along the seeds and small crystals nucleated from the glass powder itself, contributing to the improvement of the performance especially the fracture toughness. The specimen of 4C LD glass with the addition of 5 wt% Li2Si2O5 seeds exhibited the best comprehensive properties with a good flexural strength (396±7 MPa), improved fracture toughness (3.31±0.19 MPa·m1/2), and comparable translucency as IPS e.max.
