.f tourmaline 1: 120 document(s) found .d 1/ 120 TI = The history of pyroelectricity: from ancient Greece to space missions AU = Lang, S.B. (Dept. of Chem. Eng., Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel) SO = Ferroelectrics (Switzerland), 99-108, vol.230, no.1-4, 1999 PU = Gordon & Breach AB = Pyroelectrically was probably first observed by the Greeks more than 23 centuries ago. The philosopher Theophrastus wrote that lyngourion, probably the mineral tourmaline, had the property of attracting straws and bits of wood. For 2000 years, the peculiar properties of tourmaline were more a part of mythology than of science. In the 18th Century, pyroelectric studies made a major contribution to the development of our understanding of electrostatics. In the 19th Century, research on pyroelectricity added to our knowledge of mineralogy, thermodynamics and crystal physics. Pyroelectricity gave birth to piezoelectricity in 1880 and to ferroelectricity in 1920. The field of pyroelectricity flourished in the 20th Century with many applications, particularly in infrared detection and thermal imaging. Pyroelectric sensors have been carried on many space missions and have contributed significantly to our knowledge of astronomy. 2/ 120 TI = Electrical response of piezoelectric materials under mechanical excitation AU = Ghosh, A.K., Munshi, T.K., Chakravorty, H.S. (Dept. of Phys., Kalna Coll., Burdwan, India) SO = J. Appl. Phys. (USA), 5753-6, vol.86, no.10, 15 Nov. 1999 PU = AIP AB = The piezoelectric responses of different piezocrystals, rigidly backed, have been studied under constant and impulsive stress. Equations connecting electrical and mechanical interactions have been coupled to find the response. The rates of growth and decay of piezovoltage have been found to vary widely from material to material. 3/ 120 TI = Precise measurements of underwater explosion phenomena by pressure sensor using fluoropolymer AU = Murata, K., Takahashi, K., Kato, Y. (Res. & Dev. Dept., NOF Corp., Aichi, Japan) SO = J. Mater. Process. Technol. (Switzerland), 39-42, vol.85, no.1-3, 1 Jan. 1999 PU = Elsevier AB = To study underwater explosion phenomena, it is necessary to precisely measure underwater shock wave and bubble pulse. Currently, underwater shock wave is measured by pressure sensor, using tourmaline. However, this method cannot sustain underwater shock pressure higher than 20 MPa. To realize a pressure sensor which can sustain underwater shock pressure higher than 100 MPa, we developed a pressure sensor using fluoropolymer as the sensing element. Measurements of underwater shock wave profiles were performed by pressure sensor using fluoropolymer and the results were compared with those obtained using tourmaline. The experimental results show that the sensor using fluoropolymer can precisely measure underwater shock wave profiles in pressure ranges above 100 MPa. To understand the destructive effects of underwater explosion phenomena, it is necessary to accurately measure bubble pulse, as well as underwater shock waves. Precise measurements of peak pressure and impulse of bubble pulse, as well as underwater shock waves, were performed by pressure sensor using fluoropolymer. The experimental results show that the peak pressure of bubble pulse is about 15-30% of the peak pressure of the shock wave, but the impulse of bubble pulse is about 1.5-2.5 times bigger than that of shock wave, within the measured scaled distance range. This is due to the fact that the duration of bubble pulse is about ten times longer than that of shock wave. 4/ 120 TI = TOURMAL: software package for tourmaline, tourmaline-rich rocks and related ore deposits AU = Yavuz, F. (Istanbul Tech. Univ., Turkey) SO = Comput. Geosci. (UK), 947-59, vol.23, no.9, Nov. 1997 PU = Elsevier AB = TOURMAL is a user-friendly software package developed for editing, storing, calculating and plotting microprobe tourmaline analyses from different gel,logic environments such as granites and their related aplites and pegmatites, metasomatic and vein type ore deposits, stratabound base metal deposits, gold deposits, and sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Calculated results, saved in comma delimited ASCII file format, permit the user to search for other applications related to tourmaline compositions. The program prepares 28 binary and seven ternary diagrams. It is written in Quickbasic for IBM PC and compatibles, and runs under DOS and Windows operating systems with a VGA graphic card. This program permits the user to convert standard binary graphs and ternary diagrams into PCX file format for high quality printouts. 5/ 120 TI = Influence of non-tetrahedral cations on Si-O vibrations in complex silicates AU = Mihailova, B., Gasharova, B., Konstantinov, L. (Central Lab. of Miner. & Crystallogr., Bulgarian Acad. of Sci., Sofia, Bulgaria) SO = J. Raman Spectrosc. (UK), 829-33, vol.27, no.11, Nov. 1996 PU = Wiley AB = The effect of non-tetrahedral cations on the silicon-oxygen vibrational modes in complex silicates was modelled in a small-cluster approximation by introducing a shell containing first- and second-order neighbours of the peripheral oxygen atoms of the Si-O cluster. As an example, the proposed method was applied to study the Raman spectra of different types of tourmaline, which contain in their structure single six-membered rings of SiO/sub 4/ tetrahedra. It is shown that in the range 450-750 cm/sup -1/ the Raman spectrum of the ring is sensitive to the type of cations in octahedral Y-positions and as a result the peaks shift and their shape modifies. Using such changes, one can estimate the occupation of Y positions in tourmalines by various cations. 6/ 120 TI = Piezoelectric materials and their applications AU = Jones, D.J., Prasad, S.E., Wallace, J.B. (Defence Res. Establ. Atlantic, Dartmouth, NS, Canada) SO = Key Eng. Mater. (Switzerland), 71-144, vol.122-124, 1996 PU = Trans Tech Publications AB = Over 100 years ago, Jacques and Pierre Curie experimentally confirmed the presence of the piezoelectric effect in quartz, Rochelle salts and tourmaline single crystals. Within the last 50 years, a number of ceramic and polymer materials with non-symmetrical crystal structures have also been found to exhibit the piezoelectric effect. The discovery of strong piezoelectricity in these materials has has led to their commercialization and has been a major factor in the development of a wide range of applications. This paper begins with a review of the fundamental properties of piezoelectric materials. A description of the important types of piezoelectric materials and their characteristics are presented next, followed by discussions of selected applications, with additional applications listed in tabular format. + 7/ 120 TI = pH self-controlling induced by tourmaline AU = Nishi, Y., Yazawa, A., Oguri, K., Kanazaki, F., Kaneko, T. (Dept. of Mater. Sci., Tokai Univ., Kanagawa, Japan) SO = J. Intell. Mater. Syst. Struct. (USA), 260-3, vol.7, no.3, May 1996 PU = Technomic Publishing AB = The effect of tourmaline on pH control is investigated. The hydrogen ion concentration tremendously decreases for 1 h. The concentration approaches 10/sup -7/ mol/l at infinite time. On the other hand, the concept of materials intelligence (I/sub k/) has been suggested. If the f/sub h/ value is 50, we can determine the I/sub h/ value [I/sub h/(50)] for tourmaline. The I/sub h/(50) and P/sub r/ (practicality) values are 0.38 and 0.70 for tourmaline. + 8/ 120 TI = Piezoelectric and elastic properties of orthorhombic LiH/sub 2/PO/sub 3/ and LiH/sub 2/PO/sub 4/ AU = Haussuehl, S. (Inst. fur Kristallographie, Koln Univ., Germany) SO = Cryst. Res. Technol. (Germany), 323-7, vol.31, no.3, 1996 PU = Akademie Verlag AB = Single crystals of LiH/sub 2/PO/sub 3/ and LiH/sub 2/PO/sub 4/, both of space group symmetry Pna2/sub 1/, with dimensions up to 40 mm were grown from aqueous solutions by controlled evaporation. Pyroelectric, dielectric, piezoelectric, elastic and thermoelastic properties were studied by standard methods. The static piezoelectric constants d/sub 333/ exceed d/sub 111/ of alpha -quartz by only a factor 2. The pyroelectric effects reach 3 times and 7 times, respectively, that of tourmaline. The mean elastic stiffness of the phosphite is 13% smaller than that of the phosphate, a phenomenon also observed in the corresponding sodium and potassium salts. + 9/ 120 TI = Moessbauer and optical spectrometry of selected schoerl-dravite tourmalines AU = Fuchs, Y., Lagache, M., Linares, J., Maury, R., Varret, F. (Lab. de Miner. Exp. et Appliquee, Univ. Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France) SO = Hyperfine Interact. (Switzerland), 245-58, vol.96, no.3-4, Oct. 1995 AB = Spectrometric studies were carried out on samples of tourmaline (schoerl-dravite series) from geological environments where first-phase-formed tourmaline underwent influence of geochemically different fluids. Samples are from a differentiated magmatic complex of Trento-Alto Adige, Italy, and from hydrothermal gold and silver deposits of the Humboldt Range, Nevada, USA. Chemical data were obtained from electron microprobes. The results of Moessbauer measurements suggest three to five doublets. Fe occurs in two valence states. The Z-site, usually fulfilled with Al/sup 3+/ and Fe/sup 3+/, is assigned only to Al/sup 3+/ and Fe/sup 2+/. This location was found in nearly all samples studied. In the Y-site Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/ are obviously present. Isomer shifts with intermediate values can be assumed to be related to intervalence charge transfer (IVCT). Optical spectroscopy reveals absorption bands at 9000 and 14000 cm/sup -1/, which are assigned to a charge transfer between Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/, the 23000 cm/sup -1/ absorption band is supposed to be due to Fe/sup 2+/ to Ti/sup 4+/ charge transfer. The occupation of the Z-site only by Fe/sup 2+/ and the coexistence of divalent and trivalent Fe in the Y-site could be explained by selective oxidation in Y-site through a late process. + 10/ 120 TI = Application of new thermopiezoelectric effect to thermo- and piezoelectret records AU = Poplavko, Y.M., Otkox, A.I., Krainyk, G.G., Pereverzeva, L.P. (Kiev Polytech. Inst., Ukraine) SO = 8th International Symposium on Electrets. ISE 8 Proceedings (Cat. No.94CH3443-9), 731-5, xxv+1046, 1994 PU = IEEE, New York, NY, USA AB = It was originally shown that partially clamped piezoelectric crystals decrease the symmetry of their polarization response to thermal or elastic excitation. As a result any ordinary piezoelectric material (such as alpha -quartz) and even materials that are pyroelectric perpendicularly to their unique polar axis (such as Y-cut tourmaline) acquire the polar (vectorial) electric response on scalar thermal influence. In connection with this effect we discovered Y-surface thermoinduced electric charges on LiTaO/sub 3/ crystals which manifest themselves through electrooptical patterns. A "thermoelectret" effect is likely to be applied as reversible thermoinduced records. Our recent study uncovered a simple stress-induced method to produce well-defined and reversible records on Y-LiTaO/sub 3/ plates that can be ascribed to a "piezoelectret" nature. + 11/ 120 TI = Tourmaline and lithium niobate reaction with water AU = Nakamura, T., Fujishira, K., Kubo, T., Iida, M. (Dept. of Electron., Tokai Univ., Hiratsuka, Japan) SO = Ferroelectrics (Switzerland), 207-12, vol.155, no.1-4, 1994 AB = Both tourmaline group and lithium niobate crystals have been found to react with water, giving rise to both a pH value variation and an electrical conductivity variation. The mechanism of this occurence has been analyzed. + 12/ 120 TI = Gold-quartz veins in metamorphic terranes and their bearing on the role of fluids in faulting AU = Robert, F., Boullier, A.-M., Firdaous, K. (Geol. Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ont., Canada) SO = J. Geophys. Res. (USA), 12861-79, vol.100, no.B7, 10 July 1995 AB = Gold-quartz-tourmaline-carbonate-pyrite veins of the Val d'Or district in the Late Archean southeastern Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada, have been structurally documented in detail and offer a good opportunity for studying fault-related processes. The veins are well exposed in three dimensions within numerous deep mines (up to 2 km) and they typify the structural character of many other mesothermal gold-quartz vein deposits and districts around the world. The structural attributes of these gold-quartz veins, constraints from fluid inclusions, and an interpretation of the dynamics of their development are presented and provide a basis for discussion of potential relationships with earthquake processes. + 13/ 120 TI = Moessbauer effect and TEM in mineralogy AU = Ferrow, E.A. (Dept. of Miner. & Pet., Lund Univ., Sweden) SO = Hyperfine Interact. (Switzerland), 121-34, vol.90, no.1-4, Nov. 1994 AB = Moessbauer effect (ME) provides useful information on oxidation state, co-ordination number, co-ordination state, site occupancies, and magnetic properties of Fe-bearing phases. The information gained by ME together with the information provided by other conventional techniques is used to extract temperature, pressure, and kinetics of rock-forming processes. Nevertheless, ME requires that the phases studied are homogeneous over an extremely large volume and that Fe is a major component of the system. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), on the other hand, provides similar information over a very small volume for a system of any component. However, present TEM spectrometers do not provide sufficient resolution to detect the mixed oxidation state. A complete characterisation of phases in rocks requires, therefore, that conventional techniques be combined with TEM. + 14/ 120 TI = Moessbauer effect study of the crystal chemistry of tourmaline AU = Ferrow, E.A. (Dept. of Miner. & Pet., Lund Univ., Sweden) SO = Hyperfine Interact. (Switzerland), 689-95, vol.91, no.1-4, Nov. 1994 AB = One of the main features of the tourmaline group of minerals is that the six coordinated Y and Z sites, possessing different point group symmetries and sizes, share edges. The ME parameters are, therefore, controlled by the mechanisms by which the tourmaline structure obtains congruency along the common edge between the two octahedra. For example, if the size of the Y site in elbaite is increased by replacing Li and Al by Fe/sup 2+/, then, for small values of Fe/sup 2+/, size congruency is maintained by simultaneously replacing Al by Fe/sup 2+/ at the Z site. The ME spectra of Fe-bearing elbaite are therefore characterised by two doublets assigned to Fe/sup 2+/ in the Y and Z sites. For higher values of Fe/sup 2+/ at the Y site, however, the tourmaline structure reduces the misfit further by oxidation of Fe/sup 2+/ at the Y site. The effect of the second mechanism is to increase Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ interaction centres and thereby promote charge delocalisation. These Fe-Fe charge interactions introduce three more peaks with ME parameters intermediate between Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/. On the other hand, the replacement of Fe/sup 2+/ by Mg/sup 2+/ reduces the density of Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ centres, blocks Fe-Fe charge interactions and increases the intensity of Fe/sup 3+/. + 15/ 120 TI = Cu-bearing tourmaline from Paraiba, Brazil AU = MacDonald, D.J., Hawthorne, F.C. (Dept. of Geol. Sci., Manitoba Univ., Winnipeg, Man., Canada) SO = Acta Crystallogr. C, Cryst. Struct. Commun. (Denmark), 555-7, vol.C51, no.4, 15 April 1995 AB = Crystal structure refinement of copper-bearing tourmaline from Paraiba, Brazil, rim composition (Na/sub 0.54/Ca/sub 0.05/)(Li/sub 1.21/Mn/sub 0.04/Cu/sub 0.10/Al/sub 1.66/)Al/sub 6/(Si/sub 5.92/-Al/sub 0.08/)O/sub 18/(BO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ ((OH)/sub 3.56/F/sub 0.44/), core composition (Na/sub 0.55/Ca/sub 0.01/)(Li/sub 1.16/Mn/sub 0.08/Cu/sub 0.05/Al/sub 1.71/)Al/sub 6/(Si/sub 5.88/-Al/sub 0.12/)O/sub 18/(BO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ ((OH)/sub 3.70/F/sub 0.30/), shows the octahedrally coordinated Z site to be completely occupied by Al, and Li to occur only at the octahedrally coordinated Y site. The high displacement factors at the O1 and O2 positions indicate significant positional disorder that is induced by occupancy of the X ( equivalent to 0.57Na+0.43 Square Operator (vacancy)) and Y ( equivalent to 1.2Li+1.8(Al+Mn/sup 3+/)) sites by cations of very different size and charge. + 16/ 120 TI = Collection and analysis of powder diffraction data with near-constant counting statistics AU = Madsen, I.C., Hill, R.J. (Div. of Mineral Products, CSIRO, Port Melbourne, Vic., Australia) SO = J. Appl. Crystallogr. (Denmark), 385-92, vol.27, pt.3, 1 June 1994 AB = The concept of a variable-counting-time (VCT) strategy for use in Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data was introduced by Madsen and Hill (Adv. X-ray Anal. (1992), 35, 39-47). This strategy is based on a function that increases the counting time used at each step in the scan in a manner that is inversely proportional to the decline in reflection intensity that inevitably results from the combined effects of Lp factor, scattering factor and thermal vibration. The present work extends the VCT function to include the effects of reflection multiplicity, cylindrical-sample (capillary) absorption and monochromator polarization. The new algorithm has been incorporated into a PC computer program and applied to the collection of data from samples of LaB/sub 6/, tourmaline, forsterite and boehmite. Subsequent analysis of the data using the Rietveld method has shown that VCT data can produce more accurate atomic coordinates and site occupancies, lower residual 'noise' in difference Fourier maps and more stable refinement of 'light' atoms. + 17/ 120 TI = Tourmaline group crystals reaction with water AU = Nakamura, T., Kubo, T. (Dept. of Electron., Tokai Univ., Kanagawa, Japan) SO = Ferroelectrics (UK), 13-31, vol.137, no.1-4, 1992 AB = The pyroelectricity in tourmaline crystals has proved to be the secondary pyroelectric effect due to the thermal expansion and the piezoelectricity. On the c-face of a tourmaline powder of radius a ( mu m), there exists the electric field of 10/sup 7/ (V/m) which decreases following (a/r)/sup 3/ at distance r and is faint at teen ( mu m) value of r. Several attributes of water that has contacted tourmalines undergo definite changes. Quite a few novel applications of tourmalines are possible. + 18/ 120 TI = An empirical oxygen- and hydrogen-isotope geothermometer for quartz-tourmaline and tourmaline-water AU = Kotzer, T.G., Kyser, T.K., King, R.W., Kerrich, R. (Res AECL, Chalk River Labs., Ont., Canada) SO = Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta (UK), 3421-6, vol.57, no.14, July 1993 AB = Oxygen-isotope equilibration temperatures of coexisting quartz, muscovite, illite, chlorite, and biotite from a variety of geologic environments have been used in conjunction with the delta /sup 18/O and delta D values of associated tourmaline to formulate empirical quartz-tourmaline and tourmaline-water isotope fractionation factors over temperatures from 200 to 600 degrees C. The fractionation factors determined using this method are given. + 19/ 120 TI = Calibration of dynamic pressure transducer by hydraulic impulse generator system AU = Kim, K.J., Han, S.W., Lee, H.J., Woo, S.Y., Kim, B.S. (Mass Lab., Korea Res. Inst. of Stand. & Sci., Daejon, South Korea) SO = Korean Appl. Phys. (South Korea), 521-5, vol.5, no.6, Nov. 1992 AB = Dynamic pressure transducer calibration system which has hydraulic impulse generator was established and the sensitivity of PCB118A02 pressure transducer was measured with tourmaline sensor as the reference. The magnitudes of pressure impulse was varied from 32.68 MPa(4739.8 psi) up to 135.02 MPa (19582 psi) with the interval of 20.685 MPa (3000 psi). The average sensitivity of PCB118A02 was found to be 15.102 pC/MPa (0.104 pC/psi), which showed 5.3% difference from the value provided by manufacturer. + 20/ 120 TI = 11th European Symposium on Fluid Inclusion Research (ECROFI XI) SO = Eur. J. Mineral. (West Germany), vol.4, no.5, Sept.-Oct. 1992 AB = The following topics were dealt with: removal of O/sub 2/ from N/sub 2/ purge gas; modelling of clathrate stability in fluid inclusions; water, hydrates, and pH in fluid inclusions; fluid inclusion gases from geothermal systems; CO/sub 2/-bearing fluids in the Aluto-Langano geothermal field, (Ethiopia); fluid mixing during ore deposition; fluid mixing and mesothermal Au mineralisation; fluid evolution in a greisen-tourmaline system; fluid inclusions and Au-W mineralisation; hydrothermal calcites and Tennessee Zn deposits; structure of geothermal and epithermal systems; fluid inclusion re-equilibration and evolution in Ghana; rock chemistry and fluid inclusions in the Serre batholith, Italy; fluid evolution and ore deposition in the Harz Mountains; fluid evolution in a Proterozoic Zn-Cu-Pb sulphide deposit; the Perda Majori (Sardinia) W-Mo deposit; fluid inclusions in pegmatites (Elba); fluid inclusions in eclogitic metagabbros; silicate-melt inclusions in Vesuvius lavas; cordierite andalusite-bearing mica schist from W. Hungary; mantle fluids in pyroxenite nodules; C-O-H-N-NaCl fluids in a granitic complex; fluid inclusions in the Gallura intrusive complex (Sardinia); and inclusions in thermally metamorphosed salt beds. + 21/ 120 TI = Timing of Cenozoic extensional tectonics in west Turkey AU = Seyitoglu, G., Scott, B.C., Rundle, C.C. (Dept. of Geol., Leicester Univ., UK) SO = J. Geol. Soc. (UK), 533-8, vol.149, pt.4, July 1992 AB = The timing of the transition from compressional to extensional tectonics in the late Cenozoic evolution of west Turkey has been constrained by K-Ar geochronology from acidic volcanic rocks and tourmaline leucogranite dykes in the Gordes basin. Dacites and rhyolites in the centre of the Gordes Neogene sedimentary basin cut both the basement ophiolites of the Izmir-Ankara suture zone and the Neogene sediments. On the basin's eastern margin the leucogranites cut metamorphic basement along a major NE-SW-trending normal fault. Pebbles of these leucogranites occur in adjacent Neogene tuffites and conglomerates. K-Ar dates on biotites from the central volcanic rocks vary from 18.4+or-0.8 Ma to 16.3+or-0.5 Ma (early Miocene) whilst muscovite from a leucogranite on the eastern margin of the basin provides ages of 24.2+or-0.8 Ma and 21.1+or-1.1 Ma (latest Oligocene to early Miocene). Geochronological data and field relationships demonstrate that the earlier compressional regime had been replaced by extensional tectonics by latest Oligocene-early Miocene. + 22/ 120 TI = Frontiers in Isotope Geosciences SO = Chem. Geol. (Isot. Geosci. Sect.) (Netherlands), vol.101, no.1-2, 10 June 1992 AB = The following topics were dealt with: stable isotope analysis, in situ laser microprobe techniques, O, feldspar, quartz, LASSIE-laser ablation sampler for stable isotope extraction, carbonates, minerals, sulphides, S, Axial Seamount, C, gas chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry, Dosimetry System 1986, noble gases in ancient fluids, B, negative thermal ionisation mass spectrometry, geochemistry, tourmaline, single zircon dating, Pb, Corsica, Hercynian granites, Scotland, Southern Uplands, detrital muscovites, laser /sup 40/Ar-/sup 39/Ar ages, Th, pyrites, magnetites, diamond, extreme energy filtering, H, Sr, Cameca ims-3f ion microprobe, Cameca ims-300, Isolab 54. + 23/ 120 TI = Electric properties of tourmalines at high temperature and pressure AU = Lastovichkova, M., Lebedev, T.S., Shepel', S.I. (Geophys. Inst., Acad of Sci., Prague, Czechoslovakia) SO = Geofiz. Zh. (Ukrainian SSR), 1990 AB = Irreversible physico-chemical changes taking place in different media are responsible for the different dependences of the electrical conductivity of tourmalines in argon and in air. Temperature and moisture saturation have a more appreciable effect than does pressure on the electrical conductivity of tourmalines. Pressure and chemical composition (an increase in the content of the oxides of iron) have no noticeable effect on the absolute magnitude of electrical conductivity up to the critical temperature, but do considerably reduce activation energy and the logarithm of the pre-exponential coefficient of these minerals. A very marked increase in electrical conductivity and minimal T/sub c/ values are seen in the most ferruginous tourmalines. Electrical conductivity is low at temperatures of less than 400-500 degrees C, and therefore the effect of electromagnetic field frequency is quite apparent within that temperature range. + 24/ 120 TI = Thermal oxidation study of natural tourmaline using Mossbauer effect AU = Varma, H.V. (Dept. of Phys., Dr. H.S.G. Univ., Sagar, India) SO = Indian J. Phys. A (India), 293-9, vol.65A, no.4, July 1991 AB = Minerals having hydroxyl group show conversion of ferrous ions to ferric ions when heated in air. Several mechanisms have been suggested for this process of conversion of ferrous to ferric. One mechanism which has been suggested is the hopping mechanism of electron-proton pair. In the case of tourmaline, using the thermal oxidation and the technique of Mossbauer effect it has been confirmed that the hopping mechanism is responsible for the oxidation. The oxidation of ferrous ion takes place by the ejection of the natural atom of hydrogen rather than a proton-electron pair. This natural atom of hydrogen hops to the surface of the sample and oxidizes with atmospheric oxygen to form water. + 25/ 120 TI = Very-high-pressure metamorphism and uplift of coesite-bearing metasediments from the Zermatt-Saas zone, Western Alps AU = Reinecke, T. (Inst. fur Miner., Ruhr-Univ. Bochum, West Germany) SO = Eur. J. Mineral. (Germany), 7-17, vol.3, no.1, Jan.-Feb. 1991 AB = The metapelitic assemblage of a very-high-pressure metamorphic manganiferous quartzite occurring at Lago di Cignana, Valtournanche, Western Alps, Italy, on top of eclogite-facies metaophiolites, provides an outstanding record of the P-T evolution during subduction and subsequent uplift in a segment of the oceanic Zermatt-Saas zone. At peak metamorphic conditions of 590-630 degrees C, 26-28 kbar, rim compositions of pyrope-rich spessartine containing up to 41 mol.% pyrope coexisted with coesite, talc, kyanite, phengite, paragonite, braunite, piemontite, haematite, rutile, dravitic tourmaline, Mg-rich ardennite, apatite and zircon under high H/sub 2/O-activity. Coesite is exclusively present as rare inclusions in tourmaline and pyrope-rich garnet and has partially or completely inverted to polycrystalline quartz. The established P-T path provides evidence that pelagic sediments forming part of the lithosphere of the former Piemonte-Ligurian ocean were subducted to depths of about 90 km. Preservation of the very-high-pressure metamorphic assemblage formed on an apparent geotherm of about 7 degrees C/km may have been favoured by the limited access of hydrous fluids and by a retrograde P-T path on which decompression was associated with major cooling. + 26/ 120 TI = Stratigraphic development and hydrothermal activity in the central Western Cascade Range, Oregon AU = Cummings, M.L., Michael Pollock, J., Thompson, G.D., Bull, M.K. (Dept. of Geol., Portland State Univ., OR, USA) SO = J. Geophys. Res. (USA), 19601-10, vol.95, no.B12, 10 Nov. 1990 AB = Two volcanic sequences bounded by erosional unconformities compose the stratigraphy of the North Santiam mining district, Western Cascade Range, Oregon. Diorite, granodiorite, and leucocratic quartz porphyry dikes, stocks, and sills intrude the breccias, flows, and tuffs of a volcanic center in the older Sardine Formation. Tourmaline-bearing breccia pipes are associated with the porphyritic granodiorite intrusions. An erosional unconformity separates the Sardine Formation from the overlying Elk Lake formation. The alteration patterns in the two formations are consistent with the development of hydrothermal systems during the eruption of each formation. However, the development of the two hydrothermal systems is separated by a period of erosion of the older volcanic pile. + 27/ 120 TI = The symmetry of the natural optical activity and similar effects AU = Malinowski, S. (Inst. of Phys., Lodz Univ., Poland) SO = Acta Phys. Pol. A (Poland), 543-53, vol.A77, no.4, April 1990 AB = For some symmetry of media, only the transverse waves can propagate if there is no spatial dispersion. On the other hand if there is a spatial dispersion, then for the same symmetry one can distinguish three types of directions: (i) the ones along which only the transverse waves propagate, (ii) the ones along which the transverse waves propagate together with the waves which are neither transverse nor longitudinal (such waves will be called skew ones), (iii) the ones along which only the skew waves propagate. In case (ii) the skew wave is, as a rule, more absorbed than the pure transverse wave; the pure transverse wave is, first of all, the extraordinary wave polarized along the optical axis (e.g. in tourmaline). + 28/ 120 TI = A scattered ring in a natural crystal of tourmaline AU = Ja, Y.H. (Telecom Australia Res. Lab., Clayton, Vic., Australia) SO = J. Opt. (France), 41-3, vol.21, no.1, Jan.-Feb. 1990 AB = A scattered circular ring was observed in a natural crystal of tourmaline, when illuminated with a He-Ne laser beam. It is suggested that the scattered ring be due to the scattering of the incident beam by a very slender cylinder-like microstructure inside the crystal, and the microstructure might be formed by impurity ions, such as Fe/sup 3+/. + 29/ 120 TI = Provenance studies of Chirala coastal glass sand deposit, east coast of India AU = Sankara Pitchaiah, P., Rao, A.T. (Dept. of Geol., Nagarjuna Univ., Nagarjunanagar, India) SO = Indian J. Mar. Sci. (India), 195-7, vol.18, no.3, Sept. 1989 AB = The mineralogy and chemical and optical properties of the Chirala coastal glass sand deposit have been studied. Common hornblende and epidotes are predominant among the nonopaque minerals. Euhedral zircons are common. The hornblende and epidote abundance and their chemical and optical properties suggest the Nellore schist belt as the chief source for these sands. The shape and length-breadth ratios of zircons further support a schist belt provenance. The low abundance of garnets, sillimanites, rounded zircons, and zircon high-elongation frequencies indicates a minor contribution from khondalites and charnockites. The major confinement of the Gundlakamma river to Dharwarian schistose rocks and Archaean granitic gneisses suggest that the Nellore schist belt might have been actively eroded and have contributed the sediment to a large extent to this coastal sand belt. + 30/ 120 TI = Dielectric properties of tourmaline under different conditions AU = Mishra, S., Krishna Rao, A.V., Rao, K.V.

Status Solidi A (East Germany), K115-18, vol.114, no.1, 16 July 1989 AB = The authors report measurements on the dielectric properties of tourmaline single crystals subjected to different treatments like quenching, X-ray or gamma -ray irradiation and the application of DC biasing voltage. The frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent at room temperature is studied. + 31/ 120 TI = Geology of the Ulugh Muztagh area, northern Tibet AU = Burchfiel, B.C., Molnar, P., Zhao Ziyun, Liang K'uangyi, Wang Shuji, Huang Minmin, Sutter, J. (Dept. of Earth, Atmos. & Planetary Sci., MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) SO = Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. (Netherlands), 57-70, vol.94, no.1-2, Aug. 1989 AB = Within the Ulugh Muztagh area, north central Tibet, an east-west-trending ophiolitic melange marks a suture that apparently was formed during a late Triassic or slightly younger collision between a continental fragment to the south and the rest of Asia. The southern continental fragment carries a thick sequence of upper Triassic sandstone, but the contact between the sandstone and the ophiolitic melange is covered by a younger redbed sequence of unknown age. A suite of 2-mica, tourmaline-bearing leucogranite plutons and dikes intruded the Triassic sandstone at shallow crustal levels 10.5 to 8.4 Ma. These rocks are interpreted to have been derived by the partial melting of crustal material. The authors interpret this to mean that crustal thickening began in this part of the Tibetan plateau at least by 10.5 Ma. Welded rhyolitic tuff rests on a conglomerate that consists of abundant debris from the Ulugh Muztagh intrusive rocks and has yielded Ar/Ar ages of about 4 Ma. Crustal thickening may have continued to 4 Ma. + 32/ 120 TI = Effect of alpha -recoil damage on the elastic moduli of zircon and tourmaline AU = Ozkan, H. (Dept. of Phys., Middle East Tech. Univ., Ankara, Turkey) SO = Nuclear Physics Applications on Materials Science. Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Science Institute, 447-8, ix+458, 1988 PU = Kluwer Acad. Publishers, Dordrecht, Netherlands AB = The author reports on the effect of alpha -recoil damage on the elastic moduli of zircon and tourmaline. Elastic wave velocities of seven different zircon samples have been measured by ultrasonic pulse-echo methods. They have observed 31% and 28% decrease in the longitudinal and shear wave velocities, respectively. All the elastic constants except C/sub 66/ decrease systematically and markedly (up to 69%) with radiation damage and approach two common saturation values of 150 GPA and 49 GPA. Oriented single crystals and powders of tourmaline have been irradiated with thermal neutrons up to total dose of 7, 6*10/sup 18/ n/cm/sup 2/. Elastic wave velocity and X-ray diffraction measurements prior and after several thermal neutron irradiations have indicated that tourmaline crystals are rather stable up to total dose of 8*10/sup 17/ n/cm/sup 2/. + 33/ 120 TI = Thermal expansion of tourmaline single crystals from 80 to 300 K AU = Tatli, A., Pavlovic, A.S.

Matter (USA), 10072-4, vol.38, no.14, 15 Nov. 1988 AB = The thermal expansion and coefficient of linear thermal expansion of elbaite, schorl, and uvite specimens in the a and c directions have been determined from 80 K to room temperature with use of the standard strain-gauge technique. At room temperature it was found that for elbaite, alpha /sub a/=3.86*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/ and alpha /sub c/=9.11*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/; for schorl, alpha /sub a/=3.48*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/ and alpha /sub c/=8.54*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/; and for uvite, alpha /sub a/=3.17*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/ and alpha /sub c/=8.32*10/sup -6/ K/sup -1/. It was observed that the anisotropy in thermal expansion along the a and c directions of tourmalines is directly related to the anisotropy in the corresponding adiabatic elastic constants. + 34/ 120 TI = Role of natural radiation in tourmaline coloration AU = Reinitz, I.M., Rossman, G.R. (Div. of Geol. & Planetary Sci., California Inst. of Technol., Pasadena, CA, USA) SO = Am. Mineral. (USA), 822-5, vol.73, no.7-8, July-Aug. 1988 AB = The optical spectra of elbaite tourmalines subjected to large, controlled doses of gamma radiation have been compared to those of natural specimens. Both naturally pink and laboratory-irradiated elbaites show the same spectroscopic features. Optical absorption features of Mn/sup 2+/ in nearly colorless elbaites are lost during laboratory irradiation, indicating a Mn/sup 2+/ to Mn/sup 3+/ transformation during the radiation process. Measurements of the radiation levels in tourmaline pockets in southern California pegmatites have been used to compute the doses that natural samples should have experienced over geologic time. These doses generally correspond to the doses required to restore the color to elbaites that have been decolorized by laboratory heat treatment, indicating that color in naturally pink tourmaline is a product of natural radiation. This radiation could have been effective only after the pegmatite cooled below the decolorizing temperature of tourmaline, suggesting that most pink elbaites originally grew nearly colorless in the pegmatites and only later attained their pink color through oxidation of Mn via ionizing radiation. + 35/ 120 TI = Electron paramagnetic resonance of atomic hydrogen centers in rubellite AU = De Camargo, M.B., Pontuschka, W.M., Isotani, S.

The effects of increasing doses of gamma -rays from /sup 60/Co on the spectra were determined (maximum of 20 MGy). The following optical absorption bands were observed: 8500 and 14800 cm/sup -1/ assigned to d-d transitions of Fe/sup 2+/ in b and c sites, respectively; 19500 and 25500 cm/sup -1/ assigned to /sup 5/E to /sup 5/A/sub 1/ and /sup 5/B/sub 2/ to /sup 5/A/sub 1/ d-d transitions of Mn/sup 3+/, respectively. + 37/ 120 TI = Thermal deformations and phase transformations in tourmalines AU = Filatov, S.K., Gorskaya, M.G., Bolotnikova, N.I.

(USSR), 594-9, vol.23, no.4, April 1987 AB = Various areas of application of tourmaline, especially as piezoelectric crystals (space group R3m) for measuring explosion force, make study of its behavior in a wide temperature range desirable. The authors used thermoradiography to observe phase transformations directly and to measure for the first time thermal deformations of tourmalines varying in composition. The four specimens studied belong to two isomorphic types of tourmalines most widespread in nature, viz. Fe-Mg (schorl dravite) and Fe-Li, Al (schorl elbaite). + 38/ 120 TI = Color and luminescent properties of minerals in various redox conditions AU = Yarovoi, P.N., Medvedev, V.Ya., Ivanova, L.A., Serykh, S.V.

The mineral samples are held at P=40-100 MPa H/sub 2/O+10% H/sub 2/, H/sub 2/O+10% O/sub 2/ and T=300-500 degrees C. A nitrogen laser is used as the source of photoexcitation, and the X rays are generated by means of URS-55A unit. The luminescence spectra are recorded using a DMR-23 monochromator, a U5-6 amplifier, and in Z-3 automatic recorder, and the lifetime is analyzed on an S1-75 oscillograph. + 39/ 120 TI = Zonal distribution of tourmaline types in the hydrothermal convective system at Novazza (Bergamasc Alps, Northern Italy) AU = Fuchs, Y.

Terre (France), 1507-10, vol.305, no.19, 14 Dec. 1987 AB = The volcanogenic deposits of Permian age in the Collio Orobico basin can be divided into two major cycles. In Novazza the calderic system formed during the first stage shows a resurgent doming at the end of this cycle. During this period and during the initial stage of the second volcanic cycle a hydrothermal system developed in the resurgent doming area. It is characterized by pyrophyllitisation, pervasive sericitization and tourmalinisation. The composition of the sericites changes from muscovite to a more celadonitic composition along a phengitic trend line from the alkali central area toward the outer zone, with tourmalines changing from alkali deficient, aluminium rich dravites to aluminium poor, weakly alkali deficient schorl or even ferric iron tourmalines. The andesitic low depth intrusions belonging to the initial phase of the second cycle induce some local variations (ferro-muscovites). + 40/ 120 TI = The location of boron-containing dust in the lung, utilising neutron-induced autoradiography techniques with a CR-39 solid state track detector AU = Morris, K.J., Batchelor, A.L. (MRC Radiolbiol. Unit, Chilton, UK) SO = Phys. Med. Biol. (UK), 1501-8, vol.32, no.11, Nov. 1987 AB = The authors report two new developments in the use of CR-39 to measure boron-containing particles in the lung. In one of these, the relative amount of particulate boron located within a lung tissue section can be estimated by counting the number of tracks produced by the /sup 10/B (n, alpha ) reaction. In the other, a lung section, and the location of boron-containing particles within it, can be imaged onto a plate of CR-39. Also discussed, as an incidental finding, is a separate technique to image a lung tissue section onto a pre-etched CR-39 plate while still preserving the original section for staining and histological examination. The ultimate aim is to measure the relative mass and spatial distribution of tourmaline aggregates in post mortem lungs from Cornish tin miners, using a CR-39 homopolymer solid state track detector and neutron-induced autoradiography, with subsequent image analysis on a Quantimet 720. + 41/ 120 TI = Chemistry of the rock-forming silicates: ortho, ring, and single-chain structures AU = Papike, J.J.

Structure drawings are presented to portray the essential crystal chemical features necessary to correctly interpret chemical data for each minimal or mineral groups. The group considered are olivine, humite, zircon, sphene, garnet, vesuvianite, aluminosilicate, topaz, staurolite, chloritoid, epidote, melilite, beryl, cordierite, tourmaline, axinite, pyroxene, pyroxenoid, pectolite, sapphirine, and aenigmatite. Electron microprobe data for each group can be interpreted with various degrees of rigor, depending on whether H/sub 2/O, Fe/sup 2+//Fe/sup 3+/, and other elements not detect by the microprobe are present. Serious mineral chemists are encouraged to determine Fe/sup 2+//Fe/sup 3+/ and H/sub 2/O directly. Estimates of these values using microprobe data are usually imprecise and can lead to serious errors in interpretation of the chemical formula and thus any thermodynamic or petrologic inferences that are based on the correct formula. + 42/ 120 TI = Piezoelectric polymer pressure sensors AU = Leaver, P., Cunningham, M.J., Jones, B.E.

Its advantages and disadvantages as a sensor material are compared to those of conventional tourmaline sensors. Preliminary results from sensors using this material are shown to compare well with results from tourmaline sensors. Some irregularities are, however, found in the PVDF sensor output, but it is anticipated that these can be eliminated by improved sensor design. + 43/ 120 TI = Discovery of a tungsten-molybdenum-copper mineralization in the Yaudet granitic massif in Brittany (France) AU = Chauris, L.

Oriented tourmaline samples have been irradiated with thermal neutrons to 7.6*10/sup 18/n/cm/sup 2/ and the elastic wave velocities determined by ultrasonic measurements. The elastic wave velocities are not affected by thermal neutron irradiation below 8*10/sup 17/n/cm/sup 2/, effects starting to appear at approximately 1*10/sup 18/n/cm/sup 2/ with more important decreases of the elastic wave velocities and of the bulk moduli at fluences of 2.9*10/sup 18/n/cm/sup 2/ and 4*10/sup 18/n/cm/sup 2/. The decrease of the bulk moduli of the irradiated tourmalines is compared with that of metamict zircons. X-ray diffraction of the irradiated specimens indicates that tourmaline remains crystalline up to a thermal neutron fluence of 7.6*10/sup 18/n/cm/sup 2/. + 45/ 120 TI = International Mineralogical Association Symposium 'Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Granites and Pegmatites' SO = Geochim. & Cosmochim.

(Inst. fur Kristallographie, Koln Univ., Germany) SO = Cryst. Res. & Technol.

They possess optical quality and have dimensions up to 10 mm and larger. The complete dielectric, piezoelectric and electrooptic tensors have been determined. The maximum longitudinal and transversal piezoelectric effects exceed those of alpha -quartz by roughly a factor 11. The pyroelectric effects in NTA and in the X/sub 2/Zr-salts (X=K, Rb, Cs) are by about a factor 3 larger than that in tourmaline, whereas the maximum electrooptic effects amount only to about half of that in KH/sub 2/PO/sub 4/. Qualitative measurements of the nonlinear optical properties by the aid of a SHG powder test and on single crystals revealed effects comparable with those observed in LiIO/sub 3/. Phase matching is possible in these compounds. Replacing X by NH/sub 4/ or Tl also acentric crystals are obtained with strong polar properties. + 47/ 120 TI = Variation of the elastic constants of tourmaline with chemical composition AU = Tatli, A., Ozkan, H. (Dept. of Phys., Middle East Tech. Univ., Ankara, Turkey) SO = Phys. & Chem. Miner. (Germany), 172-6, vol.14, no.2, 1987 AB = Elastic wave velocities and lattice parameters of five tourmaline specimens with different chemical compositions have been measured. The piezoelectric effects on the elastic constants have been found to be small and can be neglected. Variations of the elastic wave velocities and elastic constants of the different tourmaline specimens indicate that: (i) partial substitution of Al by Fe in the structure decreases the shear wave velocities, (ii) replacement of Na by Ca increases the resistance of the structure against shear deformation involving C/sub 66/, (iii) replacement of Al by Mg seems to decrease the resistance of the structure against longitudinal deformation involving C/sub 33/. Elastic constants C/sub 11/, C/sub 33/, C/sub 44/ and C/sub 66/ of the different tourmaline specimens used in this study differ individually by 1.7 percent to 6.7 percent, indicating that the large differences (up to 21%) between the values reported by previous authors cannot be explained in terms of the chemical composition alone. + 48/ 120 TI = Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ interactions in tourmaline AU = Mattson, S.M., Rossman, G.R. (Div. of Geol. & Planetary Sci., California Inst. of Technol., Pasadena, CA, USA) SO = Phys. & Chem. Miner. (Germany), 163-71, vol.14, no.2, 1987 AB = The color and spectroscopic properties of iron-bearing tourmalines (elbaite, dravite, uvite, schorl) do not vary smoothly with iron concentration. Such behavior has often been ascribed to intervalence charge transfer between Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/ which produces a new, intense absorption band in the visible portion of the spectrum. In the case of tourmaline, an entirely different manifestation of the interaction between Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/ occurs in which the Fe/sup 2+/ bands are intensified without an intense, new absorption band. At low iron concentrations, the intensity of light absorption from Fe/sup 2+/ is about the same for E//c and E perpendicular to c polarizations, but at high iron concentrations, the intensity of the E perpendicular to c polarization increases more than ten times as much as E//c. This difference is related to intensification of Fe/sup 2+/ absorption by adjacent Fe/sup 3+/. Extrapolations indicate that pairs of Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ have Fe/sup 2+/ absorption intensity approximately 200 times as great as isolated Fe/sup 2+/. Enhanced Fe/sup 2+/ absorption bands are recognized in tourmaline by their intensity increase at 78 K of up to 50%. Enhancement of Fe/sup 2+/ absorption intensity provides a severe limitation on the accuracy of determinations of Fe/sup 2+/ concentration and site occupancy by optical spectroscopic methods. Details of the assignment of tourmaline spectra in the optical region are reconsidered. + 49/ 120 TI = Electrical conductivity of some minerals at high temperature and for extended times AU = Lastovickova, M.

The electrical conductivity of tourmaline, muscovite, plagioclase, orthoclase, almandine and titanomagnetite was measured in a dry regime. Examples of decrease, increase, or no change of conductivity are given for temperatures kept constant for a long time. Interpretation of some changes of electrical conductivity is discussed. + 50/ 120 TI = Effects of temperature and irradiation on piezoelectric acoustic transducers and materials AU = Broomfield, G.H. SO = 37, Dec. 1985 AB = This report comprises a compilation of lecture notes on the testing, selection and application of materials for piezoelectric acoustic transducers. The construction of high frequency transducers and the effects of irradiation and temperature on types designed for arduous service are described. The criteria for assessing piezoelectric materials are given as a preamble to a brief discussion of the effects on them of temperature and irradiation. These materials include the powder-route ceramics, lead metaniobate and lead-zirconate-titanate and the single crystal materials, quartz, tourmaline, lithium niobate and strontium niobate. Conclusions on the materials are concerned with the probable future temperature ranges for their applications. + 51/ 120 TI = Accessory minerals in the Oban Massif granitoid plutons of southeastern Nigeria-their qualitative and quantitative significance in fertility studies AU = Odigi, M.I. (Dept. of Geol., Port Harcourt Univ., Nigeria) SO = J. Afr. Earth Sci. (GB), 163-6, vol.5, no.2, 1986 AB = Mineralogical studies show that some of the granitoid intrusives of the Oban Massif are characterized by concentrations of halogen bearing accessory minerals, topaz, tourmaline, fluorite and apatite, in addition to accessory minerals that are contained in 'normal' granites. Pegmatitic veins, biotite granites and altered basement mica schist and granodiorite are associated with tin-mineralization and halogen bearing accessory minerals that influenced mineralization. Hydrothermal fluids associated with the vein formation have reacted with the rocks along contact zones to produce wall rock alteration involving physical, chemical and mineralogical changes. The dispersion of Sn, topaz, tourmaline, fluorite and apatite in conjunction with alteration could aid in determining ore-bearing potential as well as delineating areas suitable for exploration. + 52/ 120 TI = Tourmaline is more sensitive than quartz-resonance-free pressure transducers AU = Vieten, M. SO = Elektron. J. (Germany), 28, 30-1, vol.20, no.9, 9 May 1985 AB = The resonance frequency of the pick-up element is of crucial importance for the faithful recording of fast rise times, a sufficiently fast rise will cause 'ringing'. Piezoelectric transducers can be improved by employing acceleration compensation and reductions in ringing amplitudes of up to 70% are attainable. In a further development PCB (Buffalo, USA) have introduced a 'frequency-optimized' pressure transducer which reduce ringing to as little as 5%. However, even greater improvements are possible by employing tourmaline as the pressure-sensitive element. Unlike quartz, tourmaline is equally pressure-sensitive in every direction and is also completely insensitive to accelerations. This means that a much simpler design for pressure transducers is possible. The author concludes with examples of available transducers, their characteristics and applications. + 53/ 120 TI = Luminescence and field emission associated with heating and cooling of pyroelectric materials: pyroelectroluminescence AU = Nambi, K.S.V., Rao, S.M.D., Chougaonkar, M.P. (Div. of Health Phys., Bhabha Atomic Res. Centre, Bombay, India) SO = Nucl. Tracks & Radiat. Meas. (GB), 243-7, vol.10, no.1-2, 1985 AB = A systematic study has been undertaken on the luminescence and the field emission associated with pyroelectric materials during their heating and cooling. These may be termed as pyroelectroluminescence (PEL) and thermally stimulated field emission (TSFE), respectively. Results are presented on various aspects of the PEL as observed on tourmaline, lithium niobate and triglycene sulphate as well as on the dosimetry of TSFE electrons using CaF/sub 2/ thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeters. The cooling-induced pyroelectroluminescence (CIPEL) has invariably been found to be more reproducible than the luminescence emitted during the heating cycle. The recording of the CIPEL glow curves in a conventional TL apparatus presents itself to be a case study of 'inverse TL'. + 54/ 120 TI = The transitions of Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ pairs in tourmaline AU = Shen Guo-Yin, Wan Ke-Nin, Shang-Bo (Inst. of Solid State Phys., Sichuan Teachers Coll., Chengdu, China) SO = Acta Phys. Sin. (China), 164-70, vol.34, no.2, Feb. 1985 AB = Crystal field theory has been used to calculate the spin allowed transition of Fe/sup 2+/ ions with 3d/sup 6/ configuration in the two substitutional sites of interest in tourmaline, i.e., in b and c-sites which have C/sub s/ and C/sub 1/ point group respectively, by using Zhao's SCF d-orbit of Fe/sup 2+/ ion. The transition of Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ ion pairs, (Fe/sup 2+/(g)-Fe/sup 3+/) to (Fe/sup 2+/(e)-Fe/sup 3+/) which has not previously been studied, is discussed theoretically. An estimate of the magnitude of the intensity of the three strongly polarized (E perpendicular to c>>E//c) bands near 9000 cm/sup -1/, 13800 cm/sup -1/, 15000 cm/sup -1/ in the near-infrared region is given. The interpretation of the near-infrared absorption spectra of tourmaline is satisfactory. + 55/ 120 TI = Dielectric properties of tourmaline AU = Enakshi, D., Rao, K.V. (Dept. of Phys., Indian Inst. of Technol., Kharagpur, India) SO = Phys. Status Solidi a (Germany), K185-9, vol.87, no.2, 16 Feb. 1985 AB = Tourmaline is found to exist as a natural mineral with the chemical composition XY/sub 3/Al/sub 6/(BO/sub 3/)Si/sub 6/O/sub 18/(OH)/sub 4/ where X represents Na and Y represents Fe/sup 3+/ in schorlite which is one form of tourmaline. It has a complicated chemical structure; it crystallises in the ditrigonal, pyramidal class of the hexagonal system in prismatic crystals with the trigonal prism dominant. The authors report data on the dielectric constant and loss of schorlite which occurs commonly in nature in the frequency range 10/sup 2/ to 10/sup 7/ Hz and in the temperature region 30 to 350 degrees C. + 56/ 120 TI = Electrical response of tourmaline rocks to a pressure impulse AU = Baird, G.A., Kennan, P.S. (Univ.

This work has been largely ignored in the West with the exception of research concerned with earthquake prediction or associated phenomena, e.g. earthquake induced light. Quartz is the most common piezoelectric mineral found in rocks and the small amount of work carried out in the West has involved this mineral. In this note, some preliminary studies carried out on rocks rich in tourmaline are reported. Preferred poled alignments of tourmaline are indicated. + 57/ 120 TI = Glasslike thermal conductivity of tourmaline at low temperatures AU = Lawless, W.N., Pandey, R.K. (CeramPhys. Inc., Westerville, OH, USA) SO = Solid State Commun. (USA), 833-5, vol.52, no.10, Dec. 1984 AB = Thermal conductivity measurements parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis in tourmaline single crystals are reported in the range of 1.7-35K. The spontaneous polarization is constrained to the c-axis in tourmaline. The thermal conductivity (K) follows the glasslike K varies as T/sup 1.9/ below 6K in both crystallographic directions, and the magnitude of K is in the upper range found in glasses. It is concluded that the glasslike thermal properties associated with the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectric-type solids occur isotropically throughout the crystal and are not limited to the polarization direction. + 58/ 120 TI = Mineralogy and sources of bottom sediments of Lake Burollos, Egypt AU = Sabrouti, E.

Less frequent minerals are garnet, alterite, zircon, biotite, tourmaline, rutile and kyanite. There is remarkable similarity in heavy mineral assemblage of the lake with that of the River Nile. Aragonite is the abundant carbonate mineral for the lake sediments with subordinate high Mg-calcite and calcite. The clay mineral composition was also studied. The lake sediments are largely contributed by the River Nile. The heavy minerals and clay minerals show no distinct regional distribution patterns within the lake and the sediments, to a great extent, are mineralogically uniform. + 59/ 120 TI = Pyroelectroluminescence induced by tourmaline AU = Nambi, K.S.V. (Health Phys. Div., Bhabha Atomic Res. Centre, Bombay, India) SO = Phys. Status Solidi a (Germany), K71-3, vol.82, no.1, 16 March 1984 AB = The author presents the pyroelectroluminescence (PEL) glow curves from an indian pink tourmaline (a) and a Brazilian green tourmaline (b) recorded during heating up to 360 degrees C and during cooling to room temperature (25 degrees C). Unlike the more familiar thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) glow curves, the PEL glow curves are characterised by closely spaced 'light bursts' and this becomes easily evident during the cooling-induced luminescence (CIL) especially when the cooling proceeds asymptotically to attain the temperature. + 60/ 120 TI = X-ray fluorescence analysis of Fe, Mn, Cr and V in natural silicate crystals AU = Dias, O.L., Pereira Leite Albuquerque, A.R., Isotani, S. (Inst. de Fisica, Univ. de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil) SO = An. Acad. Bras. Cienc. (Brazil), 173-8, vol.55, no.2, June 1983 AB = Concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cr and V were determined in samples of beryl, topaz, tourmaline and spodumene by measuring the first order K/sub alpha / fluorescence lines. The intensity of these lines were calibrated by using beryl as the standard matrix. The matrices were prepared in the form of pressed pellets with 4:1 mixture of beryl and boric acid, where transition metal oxides were added. + 61/ 120 TI = The hydrothermal leaching behaviour and properties of sodium-calcium aluminophosphosilicate glasses AU = Melling, P.J., Karkhanis, S.N., Fyfe, W.S., Bancroft, G.M.

(GB), 192-7, vol.24, no.4, Aug. 1983 AB = Glasses based on a mixture of the minerals tourmaline, bentonite, and apatite (calcium phosphate) have been prepared. These glasses can be tailored to produce leach solutions that will readily precipitate apatites and clay minerals or zeolites. The leaching properties of a glass containing Cs, Sr, and U have been studied in the presence of a geochemical buffer of apatite and bentonite. The leaching of Sr and Cs is significantly retarded in the buffer. A nuclear waste form of glass of the composition 20CaO-6P/sub 2/O/sub 5/-8B/sub 2/O/sub 3/-10Na/sub 2/O-34SiO/sub 2/-15Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-3Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/-10CuO with a melting temperature of about 1000 degrees C is proposed. + 62/ 120 TI = Surface electric fields of tourmaline AU = Yamaguchi, S.

The temperature dependence of the electrostatic field strength on the specimen surface was observed by electron diffraction; it decreased as the degassing advanced. The tourmaline surface behaved as a gas chromatographic adsorbent. + 63/ 120 TI = Tourmaline as gas detection sensor AU = Yamaguchi, S. (Yamaguchi-Lab., Tokyo, Japan) SO = Mater. Chem. & Phys. (Switzerland), 493-8, vol.8, no.5, May 1983 AB = The phenomenon that the electric poles of pyroelectric tourmaline crystals are neutralized by adsorbing gas molecules and ions has been used for gas analysis. It has been demonstrated in terms of electron diffraction that a tourmaline surface behaves as a gas chromatographic sensor. + 64/ 120 TI = Temperature dependence of the pyroelectric coefficient of polar dielectrics AU = Novik, V.K., Bochkov, B.G., Gavrilova, N.D., Drozhdin, S.N. SO = Pis'ma v Zh. Tekh. Fiz.

(Geologisch-Palaontologisches Inst., Gottingen, Germany) SO = Tectonophysics (Netherlands), 253-74, vol.92, no.1-3, 1983 AB = The Naukluft nappe complex is exposed approximately 50 km south of the present southern margin of the late Precambrian to early Palaeozoic Damara Orogen. This nappe complex overlies the autochthonous Nama beds which belong to a platform area adjacent to the Damara mobile belt. The total displacement from the NW to the SE amounts to 50-80 km. The base of the Naukluft nappes is formed by a dolomite horizon ranging in thickness between zero and about 30 m. Recent investigations of the mineral content, fluid inclusions, grain fabric, and deformation lead to the conclusion that continental playa-lake evaporites must be assumed as source rocks of this dolomite. This unit, named the 'Sole Dolomite' contains 35 different minerals with sparitic dolomite, albite, quartz, tourmaline, Mg-riebeckite, talc, and sericite being the main components. The Sole Dolomite is interpreted as a discordant intrusion under high pore fluid pressure into the base of a nappe sequence. It may be assumed that before its lithification the water-rich carbonate mush has acted as a lubricant. The final displacement of the nappes with the Sole Dolomite at its base must have taken place after lithification of the intrusion. Otherwise, the intense low temperature mylonitisation of the autochthonous and parautochthonous Nama Limestones cannot be explained adequately. + 66/ 120 TI = Fluid effects and response in transverse impact on liquid-filled tubes AU = Katsamanis, F., Goldsmith, W. (Naval Coll., Athens, Greece) SO = Exp. Mech. (USA), 245-55, vol.22, no.7, July 1982 AB = Two long tubes each of aluminum and polymethyl methacrylate, with two different wall thicknesses, were subjected to transverse impact by two different steel spheres when in an empty or a fluid-filled condition. Water and a high-density electric capacitor liquid were emplaced in the interior, usually under stationary, but occasionally under streaming, conditions. Input-force history and response of the system at two gage stations involving single axial and hoop, as well as coupled symmetric and antisymmetric strain histories, were recorded from the response of strain gages, while fluid pressures were measured by means of small tourmaline crystals suspended at the tube center line. The effect of parameter variation in input and system material and geometry on these quantities was studied. The measured signal speed and frequency of the breathing mode of the system were compared with corresponding analytical predictions. + 67/ 120 TI = Pyroelectric Li/sub 2/Si/sub 2/O/sub 5/ glass-ceramics AU = Gardopee, G.J., Newnham, R.E., Bhalla, A.S. (Materials Res. Lab., Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park, PA, USA) SO = Ferroelectrics (GB), 155-63, vol.33, no.1-4, June 1981 AB = Highly oriented surface layers of lithium disilicate crystals were grown by crystallizing glasses of the composition Li/sub 2/O:SiO/sub 2/. The thickness of the oriented layer was a function of the thermal treatment. The crystallites in these layers were oriented with their c-axis perpendicular to the sample surface. These layers were found to be pyroelectric as determined by the Chynoweth technique. The pyroelectric responses of the glass-ceramics crystallized in a thermal gradient were approximately four times larger than that of a tourmaline crystal of similar dimensions. + 68/ 120 TI = Piezoelectric devices-a step nearer problem-free vibration measurement AU = Purdy, D. SO = Transducer Technol. (GB), 24-5, vol.3, no.2, Jan. 1981 AB = Piezoelectric accelerometers have long been established as transducers suitable for varied vibration measurement applications. They are self generating, compact, responsive to a wide range of amplitudes and frequencies, and they also offer rugged and reliable use. The piezoelectric accelerometer relies on two main features for its operation. The ability of piezoelectric materials to generate a charge proportional to their elastic deformation, and a simple mass, spring, and damper system, possessing a single degree of freedom. Piezoelectric properties can be found either in natural crystalline materials such as tourmaline, or they can be introduced into man-made substances. Many accelerometers use a proprietary piezoceramic PZT-5A-a modified lead zirconate titanate having a much higher charge sensitivity than natural crystals, and an upper temperature limit suitable for most requirements. + 69/ 120 TI = Experimental cavitation studies in a model head-neck system AU = Lubock, P., Goldsmith, W. (Dept. of Mech. Engng., Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA, USA) SO = J. Biomech. (GB), 1041-52, vol.13, no.12, 1980 AB = The response of two different fluid-filled head-neck models to impact was studied experimentally to provide information concerning the validity of the widely prevalent cavitation hypothesis of brain damage. The structures consisted of an acrylic spherical shell with an outside diameter of about 188 mm and a human calvarium with a clear polyester resin occiput, representing the head, each coupled to an articulated artificial viscoelastic neck. Transient phenomena were initiated by the impact of either cylindrical projectiles fired from a pneumatic gun or by the pendulum drop of an aluminum spherical shell onto a small truncated aluminum cone attached to the head models. A short strain-gaged aluminum cylinder served to measure the input force histroy, while the pressure in the brain-simulating fluid was ascertained by means of Z-cut tourmaline crystals located along the impact axis at the coup, center and contrecoup positions. The occipital regions of the models were photographed at framing rates of 4000-8000 s/sup -1/ to visually examine the cavitation phenomena. Coup, contrecoup and resonating cavitation were detected and found to coincide temporally with negative pressure transients in both head-neck models. These results lend some support to the cavitation theory as a possible mechanism for brain damage. + 70/ 120 TI = Granitization, tectonic cycles, and tin mineralization AU = Mushenko, L.V., Ognyanov, N.V., Razmakhnina, E.M. (Acad. of Sci., Vladivostok, USSR) SO = Geol. & Geofiz. (USSR), 77-81, vol.20, no.8, 1979 AB = Using the example of the major tin regions of Priamur'e a Primor'e this article discusses the relationships of mineralization with pluton-metamorphism and tectonics. It is shown that areas of development of granitoid rocks correspond to dome structures which appear in the modern erosion cut as zoned tin-bearing metasomatites. The rear or central zone of metasomatites is composed of metasomatic potassium granitoids which have been in the process of formation for a long time. Commercial deposits are formed against the background of sequential metasomatic processes due to repeated mineral substitutions with the gradual accumulation of Sn in the latest rock-forming minerals (biotite and tourmaline) and its subsequent liberation. In the opinion of the authors, the change in mineralization and the growth of domes are caused by the tectonic conditions of compression and expansion with the appearance in each phase of minerals of different structural looseness ( omega ) and energy stability. + 71/ 120 TI = Electroelastic effect in tourmaline AU = Kittinger, E., Seil, K., Tichy, J. (Inst. of Experimental Phys., Univ. of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria) SO = Z. Naturforsch. A (Germany), 1352-4, vol.34A, no.11, Nov. 1979 AB = Measuring the electric field induced frequency shift of tourmaline resonators, the electroelastic constants g/sub 311/ and delta /sub 333/ are determined. These constants may be interpreted as describing either the electric field dependence of an elastic constant or the stress (strain) dependence of a piezoelectric constant. Fields up to about 3*10/sup 6/ V/m were used. Within this range the effect is linear and is of the same order as in alpha -quartz. + 72/ 120 TI = Mossbauer studies of structural features in tourmaline of various genesis AU = Korovushkin, V.V., Kuzmin, V.I., Belov, V.F. (Ministry of Geology, Bolshaya Grusinskaya, Moscow, USSR) SO = Phys. & Chem. Miner. (Germany), 209-20, vol.4, no.3, 1979 AB = Nuclear gamma ray (Mossbauer) spectroscopy (ngr) was used to examine 114 samples of tourmaline from different deposits. The absorption curve shape of the ngr spectra was found to depend not only on tourmaline composition, but also on the character of cation distribution in the crystal structure. The complex superpositional nature of the spectra corresponds to a statistical distribution of iron ions, whereas a minimum number of doublets is observed in an ordered distribution of these ions in the structure. The existence of nonequivalent Fe sites with statistical cation distribution in Y and Z positions was confirmed by experiments on iron oxidation in tourmaline, temperature studies of quadrupole splitting, and probability analysis of formation of nonequivalent sites in accordance with the tourmaline structure. + 73/ 120 TI = An NGR observation of proton jumps in tourmaline AU = Pollak, H., Quartier, R., Dauwe, C., Danon, J. (Dept. de Phys., Univ. Nat. du Zaire, Kinshasa, Zaire) SO = J. Phys. Colloq. (France), C2/480, vol.40, no.C-2, pt.3, March 1979 AB = Summary form only given, substantially as follows. In tourmaline the three M-sites share two by two a common edge, thus giving rise to a common oxygen ion (common point CP). Using symmetry considerations hydroxyl groups should be disposed as follows: a group at CP and three groups in the basic plane, such as to respect the trigonal configuration. Tourmaline commonly contains ferrous as well as ferric ions. The special investigated specimen only contains ferrous ones. With increasing temperature spectra, which at liquid helium display a quadrupole doublet, characteristic for a ferrous ion in octahedral symmetry, show shoulders on the inner sides of the doublet. As the temperature still increases, new lines appear with a much smaller quadrupole splitting but with quite the same isomeric shift. As their quadrupole splittings show a decrease from He 4K to 600K toward nearly one half the original value, they should be attributed to the same ferrous ions in a trans-octahedral site. A proton jump could be the cause of the observed phenomenon. + 74/ 120 TI = Elastic constants of tourmaline AU = Ozkan, H. (Dept. of Phys., Middle East Tech. Univ., Ankara, Turkey) SO = J. Appl. Phys. (USA), 6006-8, vol.50, no.9, Sept. 1979 AB = Elastic constants of tourmaline crystals of known chemical composition have been measured by the ultrasonic phase-comparison method. The values in 10/sup 12/ dyn/cm/sup 2/ are C/sub 11/=3.050, C/sub 33/=1.764, C/sub 44/=0.648, C/sub 66/=0.984, C/sub 14/=-0.06, and C/sub 13/=0.51. The Debye temperature of the tourmaline derived from the elastic constants is 785K. + 75/ 120 TI = Raman spectra of tourmaline AU = Alvarez, M.A., Coy-Yll, R. (Geology Dept., Univ. of Sevilla, Sevilla, Spain) SO = Spectrochim. Acta Vol. A (GB), 899-908, vol.34A, no.9, 1978 AB = Four single crystals of tourmaline lying within the elbaite: Na(Li,Al)/sub 3/Al/sub 6/B/sub 3/Si/sub 6/O/sub 27/(OH,F)/sub 4/-schorl: Na(Fe/sup 2+/)/sub 3/Al/sub 6/B/sub 3/Si/sub 6/O/sub 27/(OH,F)/sub 4/ series have been studied. The spectra were recorded at the 100-1200 cm/sup -1/ region. From a dynamical point of view it appears that tourmaline structure can not be subdivided in separate vibrational units. It is emphasized that tourmaline must be considered as a framework lattice. + 76/ 120 TI = The elastic constants of iron tourmaline (schorl) AU = Helme, B.G., King, P.J. (Dept. of Phys., Univ. of Nottingham, Nottingham, England) SO = J. Mater. Sci. (GB), 1487-9, vol.13, no.7, July 1978 AB = 110 MHz and 1 GHz pulse echo methods have ben used to determine the room temperature elastic constants of schorl tourmaline characterized by wet chemical and X-ray analyses. + 77/ 120 TI = Experimental study of granitic rocks of Darjeeling (West Bengal, India) and its application to the origin of Himalayan granites AU = Ghose, N.C., Singh, N.K. (Dept. of Geology, Patna Univ., Patna, India) SO = Tectonophysics (Netherlands), 23-40, vol.43, no.1-2, 15 Nov. 1977 AB = Phase relationships of a granite and a gneiss from Darjeeling have been determined at 4 and 7 kbar pressure in the presence of excess water. The new data demonstrate that crystal-liquid equilibria played a dominant role in the formation of magmas of granodiorite to granite to pegmatite, the sequence of which is also established in the field. The anatectic magma left behind a more desiccated refractory rock now occurring as hornblende or pyroxene granulites. The granites of the Lower Himalaya are formed relatively at a lower temperature and pressure than the younger leucocratic tourmaline granites of the Higher Himalaya. + 78/ 120 TI = Anomalous pyroelectric behavior in the leaves of the palm-like plant Encephalartos Villosus AU = Lang, S.B., Athenstaedt, H. (Dept. of Chem. Engng., Ben-Gurion Univ. of Negev, Beersheva, Israel) SO = Ferroelectrics (GB), 511-19, vol.17, no.3-4, 1978 AB = Quantitative pyroelectric measurements were made on the epidermis of the leaves of the palm-like plant Encephalartos Villosus. The average value of the pyroelectric coefficient was 0.0129+or-0.0043 mu C m/sup -2/ K/sup -1/ at 298K, about two orders of magnitude smaller than that of tourmaline. Imposition of a DC bias electric field of 2.7 kV cm/sup -1/ increased the pyroelectric coefficients by a factor of between 10 and 50. Applications of fields as great as 18.2 kV cm/sup -1/ did not reverse the polarity of the samples, proving that the material is not ferroelectric. The bias field-induced pyroelectric effect was explained by means of a non-linear theory. A stress-induced non-linear pyroelectric effect was also observed. + 79/ 120 TI = Microwave acoustic relaxation absorption in iron tourmaline AU = Helme, B.G.M., King, P.J. (Dept. of Phys., Univ. of Lancaster, Lancaster, England) SO = J. Phys. (France), 1535-40, vol.38, no.12, Dec. 1977 AB = Microwave acoustic absorption measurements have been made on dark green schorlite tourmaline at 580 MHz and 1.03 GHz and as a function of temperature between 1.5K and 300K. In addition to thermal-phonon attenuation, two large low temperature peaks are found. These peaks are most pronounced for transverse wave propagation and are found together or individually, depending on the mode propagated. The data has been analysed on a simple relaxation model and energy level separations of 14.4+or-0.2 cm/sup -1/ and 42.2+or-0.6 cm/sup -1/ have been deduced from the form of the two absorption peaks. These figures are confirmed by far-infrared spectroscopy. It is tentatively suggested that the peaks may be caused by Fe/sup 2+/ ions on distorted octahedral sites. + 80/ 120 TI = Investigations on the formation of tracks in crystals AU = Sigrist, A., Balzer, R. (Lab. fur Kernphys., Eidgenossische Tech. Hochschule, Switzerland) SO = Radiat. Eff. (GB), 75-6, vol.34, no.1-3, 1977 AB = The minimal energy loss (dE/d xi )/sub k/ (MeV cm/sup 2//mg) for the formation of a track in an insulator has been determined for mica, tourmaline, quartz glass, quartz crystal, lithium niobate and beryl. The investigations show that the (dE/d xi )/sub k/ value of a track detector can be roughly estimated from the thermal conductivity of the given material. + 81/ 120 TI = Structural mechanism of pyroelectricity in tourmaline AU = Donnay, G. (Dept. of Geological Sci., McGill Univ., Montreal, Quebec, Canada) SO = Acta Crystallogr. Sect. A (Denmark), 927-32, vol.A33, pt.6, 1 Nov. 1977 AB = Pyroelectricity in tourmaline, known since antiquity, was ascribed by von Boguslawski to a charged, asymmetric, anharmonic oscillator based on the Einstein model of a crystal. His predicted values of the pyroelectric coefficient k were in good agreement with Ackermann's measurements in the range 200-400K. Boguslawski's model has been tested by refining the structure, at 193 and 293K, on a sphere of gem-quality elbaite. The pyroelectric effect is due primarily to the asymmetric anharmonic vibrations of O(1), the oxygen atom of point symmetry 3m which has a polar environment. Its centre of gravity moves 0.005 AA from 193 to 293K. It is the only atom with a displacement well above experimental uncertainty. + 82/ 120 TI = Fission track etching and annealing of tourmaline AU = Lal, N., Parshad, R., Nagpaul, K.K. (Dept. of Phys., Kurukshetra Univ., Kurukshetra, India) SO = Nucl. Track Detect. (GB), 145-8, vol.1, no.2, June 1977 AB = The annealing behaviour of fission tracks is an important parameter to make the fission track dates of any mineral to be meaningful. After the etching conditions of tourmaline were established by Fleischer and Price (1964), no fission track worker has reported about the thermal retentivity of fission tracks in tourmaline, which forms the subject matter of the present note and where etching conditions are different from those reported by Fleischer and Price (1964). + 83/ 120 TI = Mineralogy of beach and dune sands of Morgim-Arambol beach on Goa coast AU = Kidwai, R.M., Wagle, B.G. (Nat. Inst. of Oceanography, Dona Paula, India) SO = Indian J. Mar. Sci., 128-30, vol.4, no.2, Dec. 1975 AB = Mineralogic studies of the sand of dune and beach at Morgim-Arambol indicate that opaques, garnet, staurolite, epidote, chlorite, bluish-green hornblende, tourmaline, augite-diopside, hypersthene and zircon are the principal heavy minerals. Three mineral associations are recognized on the basis of their relative abundance and distribution on the beach: (i) garnet-epidote-staurolite rich association, (ii) garnet-epidote-staurolite-chlorite rich association, and (iii) opaque-garnet-zircon rich association. As the sediments are texturally similar throughout the beach and as there is no marked areal mineralogical sorting of the size, shape and specific gravity, this mineral distribution appears to be controlled by the variations in source rocks in the drainage basins of the rivers. + 84/ 120 TI = Investigation of the formation of tracks in crystals AU = Sigrist, A., Balzer, R. (Lab. fur Kernphys., ETH, Zurich, Switzerland) SO = Helv. Phys. Acta (Switzerland), 49-64, vol.50, no.1, 4 Feb. 1977 AB = The minimal energy loss (dE/d xi )/sub k/ (MeV.cm/sup 2/.mg/sup -1/) for the formation of a track in an insulator has been determined for mica, tourmaline, quartz glass, quartz crystal, lithium niobate and beryl. The investigations show that the (dE/d xi )/sub k/-value of a track detector can be roughly estimated from the thermal conductivity of the given material. + 85/ 120 TI = Etch figures and crystal structures AU = Wooster, W.A. (Brooklyn Crystallographic Lab., Cambridge Univ., Cambridge, England) SO = Krist. & Tech. (Germany), 615-23, vol.11, no.6, 1976 AB = The etch figures on some of the naturally occurring faces of crystals of sodium chloride, cuprite, alpha-quartz, tourmaline and topaz are compared with the atomic arrangements on the etched surfaces. The etch figures are influenced in their shape and orientation relative to the natural faces by a number of factors. One of these factors is the crystal structure. In every example of an etched pit bounded by straight edges, it was found that there exists in the crystal structure a continuous chain of relatively strong inter-atomic bonds, running parallel to the straight edge. The study of tourmaline indicates the direction in which all the SiO/sub 4/ tetrahedra are pointing relative to the external form. + 86/ 120 TI = Ceramic models for study of piezoelectricity in solids (bone and tendon) AU = Williams, W.S., Breger, L., Johnson, M.

(USA), 415-17, vol.58, no.9-10, Sept.-Oct. 1975 AB = The piezoelectric behavior of certain biological materials (bone and tendon) was studied by comparing them with well-understood piezoelectric ceramics (quartz and tourmaline). The results show that, whereas the ceramic model materials conform to the standard theory of the piezoelectricity in both compression and bending, the organic materials deviate quantitatively and qualitatively in bending. An extension of the formal theory is developed to include a polarization proportional to the gradient of the stress and yields predictions in accord with the experimental findings for bone and tendon. Implications for transducers competing with electrical ceramics are noted. + 87/ 120 TI = Effects of gamma-irradiation on the ultrasonic attenuation in quartz and tourmaline at low temperatures AU = Thuraisingham, M.S., Stephens, R.W.B. (Imperial Coll., London, England) SO = Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Internal Friction and Ultrasonic Attenuation in Crystalline Solids, 308-13, X+458, 1975 PU = Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Germany AB = The overall attenuation behaviour for both quartz tourmaline has been found to follow closely the predictions of Silverman's theory (1968). The results appear to confirm his basic postulate that the effect of irradiation is to introduce scattering centres into the crystal and lower the thermal phonon relaxation time, thereby influencing the ultrasonic attenuation. Furthermore, the power law relating attenuation and temperature has been shown to be influenced by irradiation. The associated velocity changes that were observed appear to suggest that the attenuation is influenced via the elastic properties of the crystal. + 88/ 120 TI = Gamma ray irradiation induced changes in the color of tourmalines AU = Nassau, K. (Bell Labs., Murray Hill, NJ, USA) SO = Am. Mineral. (USA), 710-13, vol.60, no.7-8, July-Aug. 1975 AB = Color changes were observed on gamma ray irradiation of over 500 colorless, pink, blue, and green tourmalines. The only significant changes observed were the development or intensification of pink or the development of yellow superimposed on the preexisting color. Irradiation and heating indicates the possibility of at least seven causes of pink and two causes of yellow colors in tourmaline; some of these colors are stable to heat, and some are not. This complexity may explain the diversity of previous assignments for the origin of the pink color. + 89/ 120 TI = Synthesis of tourmaline in chloride media.

(France), 194-201, vol.97, no.2, March-Oct. 1974 AB = As far as trace elements are concerned, all natural minerals are solid solutions. Substitutional impurities (and interstitial impurities and vacancies) are point defects that capture electrons of holes during natural or artificial irradiation. A great number of centers were found in minerals by using paramagnetic electronic resonance. Models of these centers are definitely elucidated. The centers are widely present in rock forming minerals: feldpsars, quartz, zircon, phenacite, topaz, euclase, kyanite, beryl, sodalite, lazurite, danburite, datolite, tourmaline, apatite, amblygonite, anhydrite, barytite, celestite, calcite, aragonite, etc. Periodic systems of these centers in minerals and inorganic compounds are proposed. A review of the models of centers and of their petrological applications is given. + 91/ 120 TI = Pyroelectric properties of tourmaline and cancrinite crystals in a wide range of temperatures AU = Drozhdin, S.N., Novik, V.K., Koptsik, V.A., Kobyakov, I.B.

For this, a novel application of anomalous X-ray scattering techniques, in conjunction with the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction procedure, has been used.

These peaks extended in some cases to room temperatures and would adversely affect the performance of tourmaline as a low loss device material. The evidence is strongly in favour of the peaks being due to iron since they are not present in low iron Dravite and the other paramagnetic impurities are present in quantities likely to give the large effects observed. The analysis of the peaks indicates that the relaxation is dominated by indirect processes except at the lowest temperatures. From the relaxation times, positions for excited states are found which are in good agreement with those from infra-red data although the low lying levels involved may not be the same in each case. + 94/ 120 TI = Underwater impulse measurements AU = Levin, P.A. SO = Bruel & Kjaer Tech. Rev. (Denmark), 3-13, no.4, 1974 AB = Investigates the ability of hydrophones to measure shock waves generated by explosives. The peak pressures and decay rates obtained from time histories of shock waves registered on the oscilloscope from the hydrophones are used to compute the energy flux density and impulse per unit area. The results are in good agreement with those obtained from a tourmaline transducer normally used for shock measurements. + 95/ 120 TI = Nonequivalent positions of the iron ions and electron-nuclear interaction in tourmaline AU = Belov, V.F., Korovushkin, V.V., Belov, A.F., Korneev, E.V., Zheludev, I.S. (Inst. Crystallography, Acad. Sci., Moscow, USSR) SO = Fiz. Tverdogo Tela (USSR), 2410-11, vol.16, no.8, Aug. 1974 AB = A study of the temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting of the Mossbauer spectrum of tourmaline is consistent with a structural model in which the Fe/sup 2+/ ions occupy inequivalent sites in Mg or Al octahedra. + 96/ 120 TI = Single crystal growth and optical, elastic, and piezoelectric properties of polar magnesium barium fluoride AU = Recker, K., Wallrafen, F., Haussuhl, S. (Univ. Bonn, Germany) SO = J. Cryst. Growth (Netherlands), 97-100, vol. 26, no. 1, Nov. 1974 AB = Single crystals of MgBaF/sub 4/ of optical quality with dimensions up to 4 cm have been grown by both Bridgman and Czochralski techniques. Optically clear single cyrstals of MgF/sub 2/ and BaF/sub 2/ were used in stoichiometric ratio as initial ingots yielding untwinned crystals fully transparent in the range from 180 to 8000 nm. Optical, dielectric, elastic, thermoelastic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and thermal properties have been measured. MgBaF/sub 4/ crystals show unusual strong anisotropic effects. The material exhibits a longitudinal piezoelectric effect about four times higher than quartz. Also a strong pyroelectric effect is observed about ten times larger than in tourmaline. The crystals are suited for ultrasonic and pyroelectric devices, such as generators and sensors. + 97/ 120 TI = Pyroelectricity: a 2300-year history AU = Lang, S.B. (Univ. Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel) SO = Ferroelectrics (GB), 231-4, vol.7 no.1-4, 1974 AB = The first description of the pyroelectric effect, probably as observed in tourmaline, was published by Theophrastus in about 300 B.C. Pyroelectricity was 'rediscovered' by Dutch gem cutters in 1703 and the first scientific investigation was published by Aepinus about 50 years later. A number of qualitative investigations were made in the latter half of the 18th century, to be followed by many sophisticated quantitative studies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The highlights of the history of pyroelectricity prior to 1960 are described. + 98/ 120 TI = Synthesis of tourmaline in chloride media. I AU = Voskresenskaya, I.E., Shternberg, A.A. (Inst. Crystallography, Acad. Sci., USSR) SO = Kristallografiya (USSR), 888-90, vol.18, no.4, July-Aug. 1973 AB = Al, Li, Mg and Fe tourmaline crystals were grown by mixing oxides and hydroxides to the required composition and heating in ampoules at 750 and 800 degrees C and 5-8 kbar for 2-3 hours. Prismatic crystals 0.5-1.5 mm in size were produced. Somewhat larger crystals were obtained by adding quartz and corundum, boric acid, sodium chloride and crystal hydrates of other chlorides together with seed crystals of the tourmaline. + 99/ 120 TI = Temperature dependence of domains and visibility of inhomogeneities of single crystals by cathodoluminescence (SEM) AU = Blaschke, R., Brocker, W., Seidel, P. (Univ. Munster, Germany) SO = Joint Session on Electron Microscopy (abstracts only received), 26, 103 pp, 1973 PU = Liege Univ., Liege, Belgium AB = C.L. equipment and the cooling/heating state on STEREOSCAN Mk II were used to investigate the reversible growth, migration and involution of domains near the low temperature transition point of sodium niobate. In spite of a reliable temperature control of the sample holder there are differences in the transition temperature of single crystals compared to those determined by X-ray methods. During cooling an increase in cathodoluminescence yield of about 100 percent at -170 degrees C, compared with +20 degrees C was observed. Lamellae in low-quartz zonar composition and radiation damage of tourmaline, decomposition of lanthanium borate into two coherent phases, inclusion of perovskite in YAl-garnets and the increasing of C.L. yield and C.L. life-time of feldspar at low temperatures were also observed. + 100/ 120 TI = Stereographic projections of surfaces for the physical properties of crystals AU = Butabaev, Sh.M., Sirotin, Yu.I. (M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State Univ., USSR) SO = Kristallografiya (USSR), 195-7, vol.18, no.1, Jan.-Feb. 1973 AB = A method is given of drawing indicative surfaces to indicate the anisotropy in physical proportion of crystals, e.g. thermal expansion, piezoelectric effect. Diagrams are shown for aragonite and tourmaline. + 101/ 120 TI = Nuclear magnetic resonance of /sup 1/H, /sup 7/Li, /sup 11/B, /sup 23/Na and /sup 27/Al in tourmaline (elbaite) AU = Tsang, T., Ghose, S. (NASA, Greenbelt, Md., USA) SO = Am. Mineral. (USA), 224-9, vol.58, no.3-4, March-April 1973 AB = /sup 1/H resonance indicates the presence of (OH) groups, but no water molecules. /sup 7/Li resonance indicates a quadrupole coupling constant mod e/sup 2/qQ/h mod =0.16 MHz, and a pseudotetragonal symmetry for the Li/sup +/ ion occurring at the 9(b) site; the axis of distortion is approximately 45 degrees off the c-axis and coincides approximately with the octahedral O/sub 1/-Li-O/sub 3/ direction. The /sup 11/B resonances clearly show the triangular BO/sub 3/ coordination with little deviation from three-fold symmetry at the boron site; the quadrupole coupling constant, mod e/sup 2/qQ/h mod =2.76+or-0.08 MHz is comparable to values obtained for /sup 11/B in BO/sub 3/ triangles found in other borate minerals. The B-O bond is highly covalent. The /sup 23/Na central transitions are unshifted within experimental errors; thus the quadrupole coupling constant is small (<0.2 MHz). The /sup 27/Al satellites were broad and overlapping. For /sup 27/Al in the distorted octahedral 18(c) sites, the quadrupole coupling constant is estimated to be approximately 6 MHz. Weak and broad satellite signals suggest cation disorders or twinned domains for tourmaline. + 102/ 120 TI = Microwave ultrasonic attenuation in topaz, beryl, and tourmaline AU = Lewis, M.F., Patterson, E. (General Electric Co. Ltd., Wembley, England) SO = J. Appl. Phys. (USA), 10-13, vol.44, no.1, Jan. 1973 AB = Microwave ultrasonic attenuation measurements have been made on single crystals of topaz, beryl, and tourmaline, and all are found to exhibit very low losses. The room-temperature attenuation coefficients are consistent with the Akhiezer mechanism which arises from interactions between the ultrasonic wave and the thermal-phonon assembly. + 103/ 120 TI = g=4.3 Isotropic e.p.r. line in tourmaline AU = Ja, Y.H. (Univ. Sydney, Australia) SO = J. Chem. Phys. (USA), 3020-2, vol. 57, no. 7, 1 Oct. 1972 AB = An isotropic EPR line with g=4.302+or-0.006 was found in a natural single crystal of tourmaline. This line can be ascribed to the impurity Fe/sup 3+/, occupying a host site with the axial field parameter D=0 and the rhombic field parameter E>>h nu . After an inspection of the environments of different host-cation sites, it is believed that Fe/sup 3+/ ion replacement of the B/sup 3+/ host site is most likely responsible for this isotropic line. + 104/ 120 TI = Assessment of tourmaline as an acoustic-surface-wave-delay medium AU = Lewis, M.F., Patterson, E. (GEC Ltd., Wembley, England) SO = Appl. Phys. Lett. (USA), 275-6, vol. 20, no. 8, 15 April 1972 AB = Measurements and calculations have shown tourmaline to be a useful surface-acoustic-wave-delay medium. In particular, its combination of high velocity and very low propagation losses, together with a moderate piezoelectric coupling strength, makes it suitable for use at higher frequencies than are feasible with quartz or LiNbO/sub 3/. + 105/ 120 TI = Measurement of the pyrocoefficient in the 40 to 600 C temperature range AU = Karyakina, N.F., Novik, V.K., Gavrilova, N.D. (Moscow State Univ., USSR) SO = Pribory Tekh. Eksp. (USSR), 227-30 AB = A high-temperature thermostat and a method of measuring the pyrocoefficient are described. Results are given of the measurement of the pyrocoefficient of natural rose tourmaline in the temperature range 40 to 600 degrees C, which coincide with data obtained by other authors. + 106/ 120 TI = Magnetic susceptibility and triangular exchange coupling in the tourmaline mineral group AU = Tsang, T., Thorpe, A.N., Donnay, G., Senftle, F.E. (Howard Univ., Washington, D.C., USA) SO = J. Phys. & Chem. Solids (GB), 1441-8, vol.32, no.7, July 1971 AB = Magnetic susceptibilities of three iron-rich tourmaline crystals from Mexquitic (Mexico), Pierpont(New York), and Madagascar with different and known chemical compositions have been studied from 8 degrees to 300 degrees K. The iron atoms in the tourmaline crystal structure, space group R3m, a approximately 15.9, c approximately 7.2AA, are situated at the three corners of an equilateral triangle and are close enough for magnetic exchange interaction. For buergerite, the Mexquitic sample, the susceptibility data lead to an exchange constant J/k of 7.5 degrees K. Although the amount of aluminum would be sufficient to fill point position 18(c) exactly, the magnetic data are consistent with some substitution of ferric iron for aluminum, as previously determined from X-ray and neutron diffraction studies. Some aluminum thus replaces iron in position 9(b). Exchange constants were also estimated for the other two magnesium-iron specimens, of which the Madagascar sample is aluminum deficient. The results agree with the evidence from optical spectra that there is considerable deviation from octahedral symmetry in the oxygen coordination polyhedra about the 9(b) and 18(c) point positions. + 107/ 120 TI = Preparation of thin foils of diamond by a fracture technique AU = Ritter, G.J., Murphy, R.J.

Francaise de Microscopie Electroniques, Paris, France AB = The preparation of electron microscope samples from a specimen in which the material of interest is in the form of transparent micro- inclusions in a polished face of a mineralogical specimen presents a number of problems. A method which makes use of the focused output from a laser to initiate fracture in such inclusions or in isolated grains has been successfully applied to prepare electron microcope samples from a number of minerals including diamond, zircon and tourmaline. Graphite is formed about the focal spot located inside the diamond when laser pulses with peak powers of 3-4 MW and half intensity widths of about 80 nanoseconds from a Q-switched laser are used. + 108/ 120 TI = Measurement of particle velocity at a shock front in water with a laser Doppler meter AU = Anderson, R.E., Edlund, C.E., Vanzant, B.W. (Southern Res. Inst., San Antonio, Tex., USA) SO = J. Appl. Phys. (USA), 2741-3, vol. 42, no. 7, June 1971 AB = A laser Doppler meter was used to detect particle motion in tap water due to the passage of an explosively generated shock front. It was not necessary to introduce foreign particles or dust in the region of observation to serve as scattering centres. Optics of the system were aligned such that particle motion was monitored in only small volume rather than over the entire ray path length. Particle velocities measured with the Doppler system were in agreement with those calculated from the response of a standard tourmaline piezoelectric pressure gauge placed adjacent to the region on which the Doppler meter was focused. + 109/ 120 TI = A new crystal habit of tourmaline AU = De Camargo, W.G.R., Souza, I.M. (Univ. Sao Paulo, Brazil) SO = An. Acad. Brasil. Cienc., 219-22, vol.42, no.2, 1970 AB = Tourmaline crystallized as porphyroblasts embedded into a chloriteschist is investigated. The crystals which are not oriented according to the schistosity of matrix rock, have dimensions of a few centimeters, dark color, strong pleochroism in thin section, and indices of refraction omega =1.652: epsilon =1.631. The main crystal forms are (1 0 1 0), (0 1 1 0), (1 0 1 2) and (1 0 1 2 ), the latter being responsible for the pseudomonoclinic habit of the individuals, which are roughly resembling to amphibole crystals. The unit cell, as measured by the X-ray diffraction powder technique has the following dimensions: a/sub o/=15.96+or-0.01 AA and c/sub o/=7.209+or-0.003 AA, with an axial ratio of c/a=0.4517. The crystallographic data, together with the optical properties, classify the tourmaline as dravite. + 110/ 120 TI = On the dichroism of tourmaline AU = Townsend, M.G. (Dept. Energy, Mines, Resources, Ottawa, Canada) SO = J. Phys. Chem. Solids (GB), 2481-8, vol.31, no.11, Nov. 1970 AB = The dichroism of tourmaline arises partially from charge-transfer transitions within next-nearest neighbour cations through shared octahedral edges in the 001 layer. Similar structural features occur in the sheet silicates, and charge-transfer spectra in these structures are discussed. + 111/ 120 TI = Magnetic properties of the tourmaline group AU = Tsang, T., Thorpe, N., Senftle, F.E., Donnay, G. (Howard Univ., Washington, D.C., USA) SO = American Crystallographic Association Summer meeting (abstracts), 78, 96, 1970 PU = American Crystallographic Association, Pittsburgh, Pa., USA AB = Abstract only given substantially as follows. Tourmalines free from iron and manganese can only be paramagnetic, whereas those tourmalines containing magnetic ions can be expected to show evidence of magnetic exchange interactions. Magnetic susceptibilities of three iron-rich tourmaline crystals of different, known, chemical compositions have been studied from 8 degrees to 300 degrees K. One sample studied is a ferric-oxytourmaline or buergerite, which may be described from a magnetic viewpoint as having isolated triangles with Fe/sup 3+/ ions at the corners. Its exchange constant J/k=7.5 degrees K may be derived from the measured susceptibility data. The susceptibility measurements are also consistent with the X-ray and spectral evidence that, in spite of the presence of just enough aluminum to fill the Al position, a small fraction (8%) of Fe/sup 3+/ ions are substituting for aluminum. From the other two tourmaline samples, an iron-rich, aluminum-deficient specimen from Madagascar, and a magnesium-iron specimen from Pierpont, N.Y., it is possible to estimate the exchange interactions between the iron atoms substituting for aluminum atoms. + 112/ 120 TI = Rooseveltite from San Francisco de los Andes, San Juan, Argentina AU = Bedlivy, D., Llambias, E.J., Astarloa, J. (Univ. Buenos Aires, Argentina) SO = 8 International congress of crystallography (abstracts), 1pp., iv+295, 1969 PU = American Inst. Phys., New York, USA AB = Abstract only given, substantially as follows: The hypogene mineralization consisting of pyrite, arsenopyrite, bismuthinite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and luzonite is located in the peripheral zone of a tourmaline breccia-pipe. Rooseveltite is mainly associated with an unknown Bi-arsenate, conichalcite, olivenite, clinoclase, scorodite, beudantite and bismutite. Rosseveltite appears in gray grains of less than 5 mu as pseudomorphs after bismuthinite. The synthetic compound was prepared after A. de Schulten at a pH of about 0.1. Its powder pattern is identical with that of the mineral. After heating to 900 degrees C, no variations were observed, in the powder diagrams of both mineral and artificial compound. The synthetic material melts at about 950 degrees C. Rooseveltite is monoclinic, with a/sub 0/=6.87+or-0.02 A, b/sub o/=7.15+or-0.05 A, c/sub o/=6.73+or-0.02 A, beta =104 degrees 50'+or-30', space group C/sub 2h//sup 5/-P2/sub 1/c, V=320 A/sup 3/, Z=4, rho /sub calc./=7.23 gcm/sup -3/. Data were obtained from single-crystal precession photographs and powder patterns. The 15 strongest lines and their intensities for the mineral are given. + 113/ 120 TI = The crystal structure of axinite revised AU = Ito, T., Takeuchi, Y., Ozawa, T., Araki, T., Zoltai, T., Finney, J.J. SO = Proc. Japan. Acad., 490-4, vol.45, no.6, June 1969 AB = The crystal structure of axinite, H(Fe, Mn)Ca/sub 2/Al/sub 2/BSi/sub 4/O/sub 16/, was investigated by Ito and Takeuchi (1952) on the assumption that boron atoms in the structure form separate BO/sub 3/ groups like tourmaline. Since axinite is one of those common silicate minerals whose crystal structure has not been refined, the authors have thoroughly reinvestigated using modern techniques. + 114/ 120 TI = Infrared reflection spectrum of tourmaline AU = Vierne, R., Brunel, R. SO = C.R. Acad. Sci. B (France), 488-90, vol. 270, no.7, 16 Feb. 1970 AB = The study of the infrared reflection in polarized light of two tourmalines has enabled BO/sub 3/ triangles to be identified in the vibration spectra confirming therefore the existence of such triangles and not of tetrahedral BO/sub 4/ in these crystals. + 115/ 120 TI = Features of radiative colour centres and microisomorphism in crystals AU = Samoilovich, M.I., Tsinober, L.I. SO = Kristallografiya (USSR), 755-66, vol.14, no.4, 1969 AB = Investigations on radiational colour centres in minerals are reviewed, with special reference to the application of the latest methods of electron paramagnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy. The close connection between colour centres and various kinds of microisomorphic replacement in crystals is discussed. Progress in developing the theory of molecular orbits, particularly in their application to ion radicals, makes it possible to link EPR and spectroscopic data. Colour centres in quartz, calcite, tourmaline, danburite, aragonite, barite, celestine, amblygonite, apophyllite, apatite, fluorophlogopite, scapolite, and a number of other materials are discussed with regard to the features of their impurity composition. It is shown that the entry of impurities in structural form into the crystal causes a redistribution of charge, leading to regions of uncompensated charge in the lattice which capture electrons and holes and thus form colour centres. + 116/ 120 TI = Investigation of tourmalines by the infrared spectroscopy method AU = Plyusnina, I.I., Granadchikova, B.G., Voskresenskaya, I.E. SO = Kristallografiya (USSR), 450-5, vol.14, no.3, 1969 AB = Results are reported of measurements of the infrared spectra of natural and synthetic schorlite, dravite, and elbaite. It is shown that isomorphous replacement of Al by Si occurs in the tourmaline structure, particularly in elbaite, which contains large quantities of Al. The main diagnostic criteria for determining the variety of tourmaline are found to be the position of the fundamental bands in the absorption spectra, and the positions of the B/sup III/-O and OH-valence bands. + 117/ 120 TI = Pyroelectric detection of X-ray absorption by tourmaline AU = Bose, D.N., Henisch, H.K., Toole, J.M. (Materials Research Lab., The Pennsylvania State Univ., USA) SO = Solid-State Electronics (GB), 65-8, vol.12, no.2, Feb. 1969 AB = It is shown that the pyroelectric properties of tourmaline may be used for the measurement of large X-ray doses. The pyroelectric voltage across a specimen subjected to uniform heating between 300-600 degrees K goes through a maximum which is dependent upon the previously received X-ray dose. This behavior is correlated with thermally stimulated current measurements. The sensitivity is low but the storage capacity high ( approximately 10/sup 5/R). At room temperature the energy stored does not decay measurably over periods of 2 weeks. Effects of neutron bombardment are also discussed. + 118/ 120 TI = The crystal field spectra and dichroism of tourmaline AU = Wilkins, R.W.T., Farrell, E.F., Naiman, C.S. (Dept. Geological Sci., Harvard Univ., Cambridge, Ma., USACenter for Materials Sci. and Engineering and Dept. Electrical Engineering, M.I.T., Cambridge, Ma., USAMITHRAS, Div. of Sanders Associates, Cambridge, Ma., USA) SO = J. Phys. Chem. Solids (GB), 43-56, vol. 30, no. 1, Jan. 1969 AB = Optical absorption spectra of colorless, pink, green, blue, brown and black tourmaline have been taken to determine the origin of the colors and to explain the color changes which occur on heating. Absorption data were taken with polarized radiation parallel and perpendicular to the c axis at 77 and 300 degrees K. Cell dimensions supported by partial chemical analyses were used to characterize the specimens. The data combined to show that generally speaking the color is due to electronic transitions in and the amount of Fe/sup 2+/, Fe/sup 3+/ and Mn/sup 2+/ in the crystal. Specimens on the dravite-schorl join are characteristically colored shades of brown. With small to moderate concentrations of transition metal ions, colors on the elbaite-schorl join are clear pinks, greens and blues according to the Fe/sup 2+//(Fe/sup 2+/+Fe/sup 3+/+Mn/sup 2+/) ratio in the tourmaline. Intensity changes of absorption peaks and shifts in the absorption edges, correlated with removal of hydrogen and consequent oxidation of Fe/sup 2+/ to Fe/sup 3+/ in the structure account for color changes observed when tourmaline is heated in air. Blue tourmaline becomes green on short-term heating and redish-brown on further heating. Assignments of absorption peaks from 0.3 to 2.0 mu to specific transitions in the appropriate cations have been made and the origin of the characteristic dichroism is discussed. + 119/ 120 TI = A gas-actuated acoustic dilatometer for thermal expansion measurements on metals AU = Goring, G.E. (Engineering Sci. Dept., Trinity Univ., San Antonio, Tx., USA) SO = J. Sci. Instrum. (J. Phys. E) (GB), 137-42, Ser. 2. vol.2, no.2, Feb. 1969 AB = Thermal expansion properties of metals have been measured to five significant figures with a gas-actuated acoustic dilatometer, utilizing an X-cut quartz crystal driven at resonance by a 600 kHz signal.The technique has been demonstrated up to 450 degrees c on type 304 steel and the results agree well with known characteristics of this metal. Planned extension of the method to higher temperatures ( approximately 1200 degrees c) will require substitution of a tourmaline crystal whose Curie point lies above this range. + 120/ 120 TI = Colour centres in lithium tourmaline (elbaite) AU = Bershov, L.V., Martirosyan, V.O., Marfunin, A.S., Platonov, A.N., Tarashchan, A.N. SO = Kristallografiya (USSR), 730-2, vol.13, no.4, July 1968 AB = The spectra of electron paramagnetic resonance, luminescence, and absorption are determined for elbaite (composition Na(Li, Al)/sub 3/Al/sub 6/B/sub 3/.(Si/sub 6/O/sub 18/)(OH, F)/sub 4/). Results are compared for the natural and gamma- irradiated material, and the conditions for bleaching are established. The observations are discussed in relation to the structure, and to the existence of paramagnetic and luminescence centres in the elbaite. + |
