Abstract
The optical spectra of dravite (tourmaline) with an unusually high ratio of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and a synthetic elbaite with high Fe3+ content were studied at high temperature (297 to 600 K) and high pressure (to 10.51 GPa) conditions. Individual absorption bands derived from paired Fe atoms were identified in the spectra and their temperature and pressure dependence was studied. The most pronounced effects are the intensification of the two Fe2+-related bands (~9090 cm-1 and ~14300 cm-1) at pressure, their shift to higher energy at pressure, and their pronounced intensity decrease with increasing temperature. Such behavior is assumed to be caused by an electronic exchange interaction in an Fe2+-Fe3+ pair at adjacent Y sites in the structure.
Temperature and pressure dependencies of the bands attributed to Fe3+-Fe3+ exchange-coupled pairs are noticeably different from those of Fe2+-Fe3+ pairs. This shows that the two types of pairs have different exchange interactions, and points to the need for further experimental and theoretical investigation. The intensity of the intense E⊥c-polarized band at ~ 20580 cm-1 originating from the 6A1g → (4A1g, 4Eg) transition of the Fe3+(Y)-Fe3+(Y) pair, depends moderately on temperature and pressure.
The intensity of a weak shoulder at ~18350 cm-1 (E⊥c), also attributed to an Fe3+(Y)-Fe3+(Y) pair, decreases and nearly disappears between 5.44 and 9.55 GPa. The intensity of the E⊥c-polarized band at ~18500 cm-1, attributed to an Fe3+(Z)-Fe3+(Z) pair, displays a strong inverse temperature dependence, whereas the energy of the band remains nearly constant.
