Ti-V-Cr固溶体储氢合金的结构及电化学性能研究

本论文首先研究了Ni、Zr分别对Ti-V－Cr固溶体储氢合金中Cr和Ti部分取代的影响，得到了性能良好的Ti0．17Zr0．08V0．35Cr0．10Ni030基质合金。在此基础上进一步研究了入甄、B、Fe、Co、Al元素的添加或取代对基质合金的结构及电化学性能的影响。采用XRD、ICP、SEM一EDX、XPS、EIS、线性极化和阳极极化等表征手段对Ti一V－Cr固溶体储氢合金的结构及电化学性能进行分析和表征，主要结果如下：①Ti一V－Cr合金自身在碱性电解液中几乎无电化学活性。当用Ni部分取代Cr后，合金中出现具有电化学活性的第二相，其电化学性能得到有效地改善和提高。②Ti0.25-xZr_xV0.35Cr0.1Ni0.3（x＝0．05-0．15）合金主要是由bcc相和c14Laves相组成。随Zr含量从0．05增加到0．08，合金电极的放电容量和倍率放电能力增加；当x继续从0．08增加到0．15时，其变化较小。合金电极的电荷转移电阻随x增加而降低，当x在0．08到0．15之间变化时，电荷转移电阻变化也比较小。表明电荷转移电阻的大小与合金的电化学性能密切相关。③经过50次充、放电循环后，Tio．17zr"sV时scrol0Ni03。合金电极在303K和313K的放电容量能保持在90％以上；在70℃时的放电容量仍能达到275mA扮g。根据不同温度时的交换电流密度，计算了Ti。，17Zr008V时SCr川0Ni030合金电极表面电化学反应的表观活化能，其值约为50kJ／mol。④通过Nln、B、Fe、C。、AI对Tio．17zroosvo35Crol0Nio3。合金基质的添加与取代的研究，得到了具有高容量的储氢合金。其中Tio．17Zr008Vo35Cro．10Ni020Mnol。合金室温最高放电容量达到390n1A扮g；在253一343K的温度范围内，Tiol7Zr08V035Cr0JONioz5Mnoos合金具有高的放电容量，其容量在167一298mA树g之间变化，但是这些合金的稳定性有待进一步的提高。⑤合金充、放电过程中，晶格的扭曲和膨胀、Zr和V的溶解使得合金结构发生变化；合金的严重粉化及表面致密氧化膜的形成，是导致Ti一V－Cr合金电化学性能的衰减的主要原因。

广西贺县龙水金矿床的同位素地球化学研究及成因探讨

广西贺县龙水金矿位于湘桂稳定区，桂粤交界山脉的北段，博白-茶陵深断裂的西侧，区内广泛发育加里东期到燕山期的花岗岩，出露的基底地层主要为震旦系到寒武系。本文主要研究龙水金矿II号矿化带。该带位于寒武系水口群清溪亚群和大宁花岗闪长岩体的接触带附近，围岩为寒武系的碳质板岩，矿脉为硫化物石英脉，主要有黄铁矿、方铅矿、闪锌矿和石英等矿物。金矿化与硫化物密切相关。主要的金矿物为银金矿，少许自然金。确定金矿床的成矿年龄一直是个比较刺手的问题。本文选择矿脉中信为是成矿期的石英作为Rb-Sr等时年龄测定的对象，是基于其纯净和其中的原生气液包体基本可代表成矿热液的特征。结果表明其Rb-Sr等时年龄为120.5Ma，并认为此年龄代表了成矿年龄。有石英Rb-Sr等时线的~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr初始比为0.732089, 与矿脉中碳酸相加矿物的Sr同位素比值（约为0.7337-0.7402）一起，表明Sr应是来自地壳的富Rb盐矿物的Sr源区。另外，为了与围岩的蚀变年龄对比，测定了近矿围岩的Rb、Sr同位素组成，结果形成两条等时线，年龄分别为245.9 Ma和173.6 Ma，表明成矿以前至少发生了两次地质事件，导致了Sr同位素的均一化。这两次地质事件分别与华南的东吴运动及燕山运动第一幕相对应。矿石Pb同位素的~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、 ~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb 和~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb 分别在18.4-18.9、15.6-16.1和38.4-39.6的范围内，并在~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb vs ~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb坐标图上呈现出斜率为1左右的线性排布。只有个别数据点要以得出依据Doe模式的模式年龄，约为200 Ma。在Zart,am Pb构造模式中，矿石Pb同位素数据大部分位于上地壳Pb线以上，呈现出富放射性成因Pb的特征。为了解释异常Pb的成因，本文进行了定量计算。结果表明矿石Pb为古老的存留地壳Pb与少地幔源Pb的混合，即矿石Pb同位素经历了这样的演化过程：在39-29.8亿年间由地幔分异出的地壳 Pb，未参与壳幔循环作用，一直到燕山期，与少量幔源Pb混合，并加入成矿。混合μ值为9.85-10.22。矿石的地质情况及矿石Pb同位素的Δα-Δβ-Δγ示踪结果均支持这一结论。本文初次研究了脉石英中的U、Pb同位素组成。脉石英中Ｕ含量很低。Pb同位素组成基本可以划分为两组，一组为与方铅矿数据近似的普通Pb组成，另一组则较富放射性成因Pb，并向围岩的Pb同位素组成漂移，可能是随着热液的演化和大气降水的加入，受围岩Pb的影响所致。矿脉中硫化物样品的S同位素比值（加权平均为0.16‰）和碳酸盐矿物样品的C同位素比值（在-0.1～-4.1‰的范围内），表明其应为内生来源。根据脉石英的气液包体均一温度（180-250 ），计算与脉石英存在0同位素平衡的热液的同位素的同位素组成，结果为1.2～-4.8‰，表明有大气降水的参与。石英气液包体水溶液为弱碱性，其成分分析表明其中K_2O/Na_2和CaO/MgO（分别根据K~+/Na~+和Ca~(2+)/Mg~(2+)的换算）与围岩相差很大。另外，矿石中微量元素主要为Au、A2g、Cu、Pb、Zn、Co、Ni、Mo、Bi、Ga、As、Sb、和Hg，而围岩中微量元素则主要为Cu、Ni、Mn、V、Zr、Ti、Cr和Ba。因此，热液中成矿元素主要不是来自围岩。黄铁矿的Co/Ni、S/Se/的比值可以指示热液化的来源。龙水金矿矿脉中黄铁矿的Co/Ni > 1，S/Se < 15000，均在与岩浆作用有关的热液范围内。因此，热液活动应主要与岩浆岩有关。矿石、围岩和花岗闪长岩的稀土配分模式相似，均呈现向右倾斜的V字型，并且类似于太古代后沉积岩。结合Pb、Sr同位素的研究，推测花岗闪长岩的源岩主要为古老的地壳物质。概括起来，龙水金矿床为约120.5 Ma形成的中低温热液矿床；热液中成矿物质主要来自花岗闪长岩。由于围岩与矿床紧密的空间联系及围岩中的高Au含量，围岩可能提供了一部分Au及其他成矿物质。

(Table 2) Trace element composition of seleceted clast and matrix materials from ODP Site 125-786

Shipboard examination of volcanic and sedimentary strata at Site 786 suggested that at least four types of breccias are present: flow-top breccias, associated with cooling and breakup on the upper surface of lava flows; autobreccias, formed by in-situ alteration at the base of flows; fault-gouge breccias; and true sedimentary breccias derived from weathering and erosion of underlying flows. It is virtually impossible to assess the origin of breccia matrix by textural and mineralogical analyses alone. However, it is fundamental for our understanding of breccia provenance to determine the source component of the matrix material. Whether the matrix is uniquely clastderived can be determined by geochemical fingerprinting. Trace elements that are immobile during weathering and alteration do not change their relative abundances. A contribution to the matrix from any source with an immobile trace element signature different from that of the clasts would appear as a perturbation of the trace element signature of the matrix. Trace element analysis of bulk samples from clasts and matrix material in individual breccia units was undertaken in a fashion similar to that used by Brimhall and Dietrich (1987, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(87)90070-6) in analyzing soil provenance: (1) to help distinguish between sedimentary and volcanic breccias, (2) to determine the degree of mixing and depth of erosion in sedimentary breccias, and (3) to analyze the local provenance of the individual breccia components (matrix and clasts). The following elements were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF): Rb, Sr, Ba, U, Zr, Cu, Zn, Ti, Cr, and V. Of these elements, Zr and Ti probably exhibit truly immobile behavior (Humphris and Thompson, 1978, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(78)90222-3 ). The remaining elements are useful as a reference for the extent of compositional change during the formation of matrix material (Brimhall and Dietrich, 1987, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(87)90070-6).

Major and trace element compositions of the Buendnerschiefer samples

The Bündnerschiefer of the Swiss-Italian Alps is a large sedimentary complex deposited on the Piemonte-Liguria and Valais oceans and associated continental margins from the upper Jurassic to Eocene. It is made of a large variety of sequences associated or not with an ophiolitic basement. The Bündnerschiefer makes an accretionary prism that developed syn-tectonically from the onset of alpine subduction, and it records orogenic metamorphism following episodes of HP metamorphism. The Bündnerschiefer shares important similarities with the Otago schists of New Zealand and with the Wepawaug schists of Connecticut, both of which form accretionary prisms and have an orogenic metamorphic imprint. With the aim of testing the hypothesis of mobility of chemical components as a function of metamorphic grade, in this work I present fifty-five bulk chemical analyses of various lithological facies of the Bündnerschiefer collected along the well-studied field gradient of the Lepontine dome of Central Switzerland, in the Prättigau half window of East Switzerland, and in the Tsaté Nappe of Valle d'Aosta (Italy). The dataset includes the concentration of major components, large ion lithophile elements (Rb, Sr, Ba, Cs), high field strength elements (Zr, Ti, Nb, Th, U, Ta, Hf), fluid-mobile light elements (B, Li), volatiles (CO2, S), REEs, and Y, V, Cr, Co, Sn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Tl, Sb, Be, and Au. These data are compared against the compositions of the global marine sediment reservoir, typical crustal reservoirs, and against the previously measured compositions of Otago and Wepawaug schists. Results reveal that, irrespective of their metamorphic evolution, the bulk chemical compositions of orogenic metasediments are characterized by mostly constant compositional ratios (e.g., K2O/Al2O3, Ba/Al2O3, Sr/CaO, etc.), whose values in most cases are undistinguishable from those of actual marine sediments and other crustal reservoirs. For these rocks, only volatile concentrations decrease dramatically as a function of metamorphic temperature, and significant deviations from the reservoir signatures are evident for SiO2, B, and Li. These results are interpreted as an indication of residual enrichment in the sediments, a process taking place during syn-metamorphic dehydration from the onset of metamorphism in a regime of chemical immobility. Residual enrichment increased the absolute concentrations of the chemical components of these rocks, but did not modify significantly their fundamental ratios. This poor compositional modification of the sediments indicates that orogenic metamorphism in general does not promote significant mass transfer from accretionary prisms. In contrast, mass transfer calculations carried out in a shear zone crosscutting the Bündnerschiefer shows that significant mass transfer occurs within these narrow zones, resulting in gains of H2O, SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Ba, Y, Rb, Cu, V, Tl, Mo, and Ce during deformation and loss of Na2O, CO2, S, Ni, B, U, and Pb from the rock. These components were presumably transported by an aquo-carbonic fluid along the shear zone. These distinct attitudes to mobilize chemical elements from orogenic sediments may have implications for a potentially large number of geochemical processes in active continental margins, from the recycling of chemical components at plate margins to the genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits.

Igneous geochemistry of OP Leg 126 samples

Major element, trace element, and radiogenic isotope compositions of samples collected from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 126 in the Izu-Bonin forearc basin are presented. Lavas from the center of the basin (Site 793) are high-MgO, low-Ti, two-pyroxene basaltic andesites, and represent the products of synrift volcanism in the forearc region. These synrift lavas share many of the geochemical and petrographic characteristics of boninites. In terms of their element abundances, ratios, and isotope systematics they are intermediate between low-Ti arc tholeiites from the active arc and boninites of the outer-arc high. These features suggest a systematic geochemical gradation between volcanics related to trench distance and a variably depleted source. A basement high drilled on the western flank of the basin (Site 792) comprises a series of plagioclase-rich two-pyroxene andesites with calc-alkaline affinities. These lavas are similar to calc-alkaline volcanics from Japan, but have lower contents of Ti, Zr, and low-field-strength elements (LFSE). Lavas from Site 793 show inter-element variations between Zr, Ti, Sr, Ni, and Cr that are consistent with those predicted during crystallization and melting processes. In comparison, concentrations of P, Y, LFSE, and the rare-earth elements (REE) are anomalous. These elements have been redistributed within the lava pile, concentrating particularly in sections of massive and pillowed flows. Relative movement of these two-element groupings can be related to the alteration of interstitial basaltic andesite glass to a clay mineral assemblage by a post-eruptive process. Fluid-rock interaction has produced similar effects in the basement lavas of Site 792. In this sequence, andesites and dacites have undergone a volume change related to silica mobility. As a result of this process, some lithologies have the major element characteristics of basaltic andesite and rhyolite, but can be related to andesitic or dacitic precursors by silica removal or addition.

Grain size analyses, Ca/Ti and other selected elemental ratios from XRF core scanning of sediment cores from the Apulian Margin

An extensive, high-resolution, sedimentological-geochemical survey was done using geo-acoustics, XRF-core scans, ICP-AES, AMS 14C-dating and grain size analyses of sediments in 11 cores from the Gulf of Taranto, the southern Adriatic Sea, and the central Ionian Sea spanning the last 16 cal. ka BP. Comparable results were obtained for cores from the Gallipoli Shelf (eastern Gulf of Taranto), and the southern Adriatic Sea suggesting that the dominant provenance of Gallipoli Shelf sediments is from the western Adriatic mud belt. The 210Pb and 14C-dated high-accumulation-rate sediments permit a detailed reconstruction of climate variability over the last 16 cal. ka BP. Although, the Glacial-Interglacial transition is generally dry and stable these conditions are interrupted by two phases of increased detrital input during the Bølling-Allerød and the late Younger Dryas. The event during the Younger Dryas period is characterized by increased sediment inputs from southern Italian sources. This suggests that run-off was higher in southern- compared to northern Italy. At approximately ~ 7 cal. ka BP, increased detrital input from the Adriatic mud belt, related to sea level rise and the onset of deep water formation in the Adriatic Sea, is observed and is coincident with the end of sapropel S1 formation in the southern Adriatic Sea. During the mid-to-late Holocene we observed millennial-scale events of increased detrital input, e.g. during the Roman Humid Period, and of decreased detrital input, e.g., Medieval Warm Period. These dry/wet spells are consistent with variability in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). A negative state of the NAO and thus a more advanced penetration of the westerlies into the central Mediterranean, that result in wet conditions in the research area concord with events of high detrital input e.g., during the Roman Humid Period. In contrast, a positive state of the NAO, resulting in dry conditions in the Mediterranean, dominated during events of rapid climate change such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Bronze Age.

Chemistry of interstitial waters of ODP Site 166-718

Preliminary data are presented on dissolved heavy metals in interstitial water samples collected at Site 718 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 118. The heavy metals at this site are divided into three groups: Group I (B, K, Mn, Ni, Pb, total Si, total P, V) behaves like Mg, which decrease with depth; Group II (Ba, Cu, Sr, Ti) behaves like Ca, which increases with depth; and Group 111 (Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Na, Mo, Zn) contains metals that are independent of depth. Mg decreases with depth from 50 mM at the seafloor to 21 mM at 900 mbsf. Mn in the sulfate reduction zone (1.0 to 2.8 ppm) is more highly concentrated than in the methane fermentation zone (0.23 to 0.50 ppm), except for Section 116-718-1H-1. A similar behavior is also observed for V and Pb. Ni, B, and K decrease non-uniformly with depth. Ca and Sr increase with depth at the same rates, indicating the dissolution of inorganic calcium carbonate by anaerobic oxidation of organic matter (Sayles, 1981, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(81)90132-0). The distribution of Ba with depth is very similar to those of Ca and Sr. Cu and Ti profiles trend to increase non-uniformly with depth. Fe is constant with depth. The sharp decrease in total silicate concentration at the seafloor probably indicates a decrease in the decomposition of siliceous biological matter (e.g., diatoms) and production of opal. The constant levels of Group 111, except for Na and Fe, may reveal equal sources of supply from surface seawater and the Himalayas over time.

Geochemistry and petrology of basalts from Celebes Sea

Major-, trace-, and rare-earth element analyses are presented from a suite of basaltic rocks from the basement of the Celebes Sea. The major elements and trace-elements were determined by X-ray fluorescence techniques, and the rare-earth elements were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Compositionally the Celebes Sea basalts are very similar to typical normal mid-ocean ridge basalts, such as those described from the Indian Ocean triple junction. Petrogenetic modeling shows that all of the basalts analyzed can be formed by 10% to 20% partial melting of a light rare-earth element-depleted spinel lherzolite followed by fractional crystallization of mixtures of olivine, Plagioclase, and iron oxide. The Celebes Sea is interpreted as a fragment of the basement of the Jurassic Argo abyssal plain trapped during the Eocene to the north of Australia.

Geochemistry and petrology of the volcanic rocks from the Sulu Sea

Major-, trace-, and rare-earth element analyses of the basaltic rocks recovered from the basement of the Sulu Sea and of lithic clasts from the pyroclastic unit representing the acoustic basement of the Cagayan Ridge, are presented. The major and trace elements were measured by X-ray fluorescence techniques, and rare-earth elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis. These data show that the Sulu Sea basalts are back-arc tholeiites and the lithic clasts are basalts, basaltic andesites, and andesites typical of volcanic arc suites erupted on continental crust. Petrogenetic modeling is used to show that the Sulu Sea basalts were derived from a heterogeneous mantle, probably representing subcontinental lithosphere, with contributions from a subduction component. The Sulu Sea is interpreted as a back-arc basin formed by rifting of an Oligocene to early Miocene volcanic arc leaving the Cagayan Ridge as a remnant arc. This event occurred during northward subduction of the Celebes Sea basement beneath the Oligocene to early Miocene arc.

Geochemistry of lower sheeted dike complex samples of ODP Holes 137-504B and 140-504B

Rocks of the lower sheeted dike complex of Hole 504B sampled during Leg 140 were analyzed for major and trace element compositions to investigate the effects of igneous processes and hydrothermal alteration on the compositions of the rocks. The rocks are relatively uniform in composition and similar to the shallower dikes. They are moderately evolved mid-ocean-ridge basalts (MORB) with relatively high MgO (7.9-10 wt%) and Mg# (0.60-0.70), and have unusually low incompatible element contents (TiO2 = 0.42-1.1 wt%, Zr = 23-62 ppm). Discrete compositional intervals in the hole reflect varying degrees of differentiation, and olivine and plagioclase accumulation in the rocks, and may be related to injection of packets of dikes having similar compositions. Systematic depletions of total REE, Zr, Y, TiO2, and P2O5 in centimeter-size patches are most likely attributed to exclusion of highly differentiated, late-stage interstitial liquids from small portions of the rocks. The rocks exhibit increased H2O+ reflecting hydrothermal alteration. Replacement of primary plagioclase by albite and oligoclase led to local gains of Na2O, losses of CaO, and slightly positive Eu anomalies. Some mobility of P2O5 led to minor increases and decreases in P2O5 contents, and some local mobility of Ti may have occurred during alteration of titanomagnetite to titanite. Higher temperatures of alteration in the lower sheeted dikes led to breakdown of pyroxene and sulfide minerals and losses of Zn, Cu, and S to hydrothermal fluids. Later addition of anhydrite to the rocks in microfractures and replacing plagioclase caused local increases in sulfur contents. The lower sheeted dikes are a major source of metals to hydrothermal fluids for the formation of metal sulfide deposits on and within the seafloor.

Impedance-fatigue correlated studies on SrBi2Ta2O9

Ceramic samples of SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) were prepared by the solid state reaction method with a view to study their electrical properties. Reasons as to why SBT shows better fatigue endurance than conventional perovskites like Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 are looked into. Complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) was used as a tool to do so. CIS data was acquired over the temperature range from room temperature to 500 degrees C over a wide range of frequencies. Electrical conductivity data indicates that the conductivity in SBT is essentially due to oxygen vacancies and the activation energy for conduction in the high temperature region was found to be 0.95 eV. CIS was used to separate out the bulk and the interfacial contributions to complex impedance.

On the hardness and elastic modulus of bulk metallic glass matrix composites

The influences of the amorphous matrix and crystalline dendrite phases on the hardness and elastic moduli of Zr/Ti-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites have been assessed. While the moduli of the composites correspond to those predicted by the rule of mixtures, the hardness of the composites is similar to that of the matrix, suggesting that the plastic flow in the composites under constrained conditions such as indentation is controlled by the flow resistance of the contiguous matrix.

Electric and magnetic polarizabilities of hexagonal Ln(2)CuTiO(6)(Ln = Y, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb)

We investigated the rare-earth transition-metal oxide series, Ln(2)CuTiO(6) (Ln = Y, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb), crystallizing in the hexagonal structure with noncentrosymmetric P6(3)cm space group for possible occurrences of multiferroic properties. Our results show that while these compounds, except Ln = Y, exhibit a low-temperature antiferromagnetic transition due to the ordering of the rare-earth moments, the expected ferroelectric transition is frustrated by the large size difference between Cu and Ti at the B site. Interestingly, this leads these compounds to attain a rare and unique combination of desirable paraelectric properties with high dielectric constants, low losses, and weak temperature and frequency dependencies. First-principles calculations establish these exceptional properties result from a combination of two effects. A significant difference in the MO5 polyhedral sizes for M = Cu and M = Ti suppress the expected cooperative tilt pattern of these polyhedra, required for the ferroelectric transition, leading to relatively large values of the dielectric constant for every compound investigated in this series. Additionally, it is shown that the majority contribution to the dielectric constant arises from intermediate-frequency polar vibrational modes, making it relatively stable against any temperature variation. Changes in the temperature stability of the dielectric constant among different members of this series are shown to arise from changes in relative contributions from soft polar modes.

Wet chemical formation of nanoparticles of binary perovskites through isothermal gel to crystallite conversion

Coarse BO2·xH2O (2 < x < 80) gels, free of anion contaminants react with A(OH)2 under refluxing conditions at 70�100°C giving rise to crystallites of single phased, nanometer size powders of ABO3 perovskites (A = Ba, Sr, Ca, Mg, Pb; B = Zr, Ti, Sn). Solid solutions of perovskites could be prepared from compositionally modified gels or mixtures of A(OH)2. Donor doped perovskites could also be prepared from the same method so that the products after processing are often semiconducting. Faster interfacial diffusion of A2+ ions into the gel generates the crystalline regions whose composition is controllable by the A/B ratio as well as the A(OH)2 concentration.
