氦在方解石和文石中的扩散：基于第一性原理的研究（英文）

Diffusion of Helium in Calcite and Aragonite:A First-Principles Study

研究碳酸盐矿物中氦的扩散行为对理解地球脱气过程中的物理化学性质和动力过程具有重要意义。基于密度泛函理论研究了氦在方解石和文石矿物中的扩散机理,计算了氦在地表和地幔条件下的扩散路径、激活能(Ea)和频率因子(v)。计算结果表明:氦在方解石中的扩散具有明显的各向异性,沿a(b)轴方向的扩散更快;文石呈现中等的各向异性,沿c轴的扩散速率低于a轴。在高压条件下,文石的激活能随压力的增大而增大。方解石晶体在[010]方向的封闭温度为–54~–25℃,沿[100]方向的封闭温度为–12~23℃。在地表条件下,氦在文石中的滞留能力比在方解石中强,与以往的实验研究结果一致。

Helium diffusion in carbonate minerals is important for studying the physical and chemical properties and dynamic processes of Earth’s degassing.This paper discussed helium incorporation and diffusion mechanism in crystals of calcite and aragonite based on density functional theory calculations.The diffusion pathways,activation energies(Ea),and frequency factors(v)of helium under the surface and mantle condition were calculated.Calculations show an apperant anisotropy of helium diffusion in calcite,with more energetically favorable directions along a(b)axis.The moderate anisotropy of helium diffusion is showed in aragonite,in which the diffusion rate along c axis is slower than that along a axis.Under high pressure conditions,the activation energies of helium diffusion in aragonite increase with pressure.The closure temperature for calcite crystal varies from?54℃to?25℃in the direction[010],and for aragonite varies from?12℃to 23℃in[100].Aragonite may be more retentive for helium than calcite under surface condition,which agrees well with previous experimental studies.
