Abstract

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to measure the unit-cell parameters of synthetic pyrope (Mg3Al2Si3O12), grossular (Ca3Al2Si3O12), and four intermediate garnet solid solutions. Garnets synthesized dry in multi-anvil (MA) apparatus at 6 GPa show irregular asymmetric positive quench- able excess volumes, with binary Margules parameters WVgrossular = 2.04 ± 0.14 cm3/mol, and WVpyrope = 4.47 ± 0.15 cm3/mol. The two-parameter Margules equation is only an approximate description of the excess volumes in the pyrope-grossular garnets from this study and from the literature. The values for intermediate garnets in this report are roughly a factor of ∼3 larger than previous literature reports of excess volumes of garnets grown at piston-cylinder (PC) pressures (2–4 GPa) with hydrothermal assistance. The discrepancy between our large dry excess volumes and the smaller hydrothermally as- sisted syntheses previously reported in the literature may be due in part to the hydrothermal assistance. When we do damp syntheses, we too get small excess volume. Although dampness produces smaller excess volumes, the mechanism by which this is achieved remains to be discovered. Does dampness relieve microstrains to relax excess volumes? Analysis of synchrotron X-ray diffraction profiles by using Williamson-Hall plots to test for microstrain shows that peak width does change with dampness and with garnet composition. Microstrain in the garnet structure, rather than grain size variation, is the principal reason for the observed XRD peak broadening. Damp garnets at Py60Gr40 have less microstrain and lower excess volume than dry Py60Gr40, in accord with the working hypothesis that dampness is responsible for diminished excess volume through strain relief. However garnets with compositions Py80Gr20 and Py20Gr80, close to the negligibly strained end-members pyrope (Py100) and grossular (Gr100), have large microstrains but relatively small excess volume. This is in contrast to Py40Gr60, which has the largest excess volume but almost no microstrain. (The end-members have no excess volume, by definition, and little microstrain.) This uncorrelated behavior demonstrates that microstrain in general is not directly related to the excess volumes, whatever else dampness may do to a specific composition, for instance introduce a small amount of clinopyroxene into the mode that partitions Ca preferentially away from garnet. Thus the mechanism responsible for the difference between our large excess vol- umes and the smaller ones in the literature may not be as complete or as simple as dampness relieves microstrain and relaxes excess volume. Our dry intermediate garnets have already been relieved of their microstrain by some other mechanism than dampness and still have large excess volume. The state of Ca-Mg ordering may also change, and we show that this may have a small effect on the ex- cess volume through experiments using variable synthesis time and temperature. A potential test for whether our large, complex excess volumes, of whatever origin, are real (or not) is whether the rise of the solvus with pressure is better described by our large excess volumes or those smaller ones in the literature. We observe garnet phase exsolution at 8 GPa and show it to be reversible, at a temperature consistent with theoretical calculation using the large mixing volume presented in the current study.
