Growth mechanisms, structural defects and composition of synthetic tremolite: what are the effects on macroscopic properties?

Amorphous gels and oxides corresponding to Ca2Mg5Si8O23 in bulk composition have been reacted to phase assemblages containing tremolitic amphibole using routine hydrothermal methods in the pressure/temperature range of 1-22 kbar and 600-875 degrees C. The products have been characterized by X-ray di...

Summary:Amorphous gels and oxides corresponding to Ca2Mg5Si8O23 in bulk composition have been reacted to phase assemblages containing tremolitic amphibole using routine hydrothermal methods in the pressure/temperature range of 1-22 kbar and 600-875 degrees C. The products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy.
