Solutions: A1-B1-βC1-γSame Phase; Variable Stoichiometry

• Important solution parameters

• Quantify how vapor pressure is reduced due to solution formation

• Example: Olivine—can treat as solution of FeO, MgO, SiO2

• Use data to calculate thermodynamic activity of each component

• Measure thermodynamic parameters for olivine solutions

– e.g. ln a(FeO) vs 1/T slope is partial molar enthalpy

– Input to codes to model:

• Atmospheres of hot, rocky exoplanets

• Vapor over lava

• Vapor pressure of SiO2 too low to measure in temperature range of interest

• Need measurable signal for SiO2—use reducing agent to make excess SiO(g). Tried

several, selected Mo or Ta

– For a(SiO2) < ~0.02

• 2Ta(s) + 2SiO2(soln) = 2SiO(g) + TaO(g) + TaO2(g)

– For a(SiO2) > ~0.02

• Mo(s) + 3SiO2(soln) = 3SiO(g) + MoO3(g)

– Note reducing agent must not change solid phase composition

• Monosilicates + disilicates +Ta – leads to tantalates

• Need to account for non-equilibrium vaporization

• SiO overlaps with CO2 (m/e = 44)

– Use LN2 cold finger for improved pumping

– Shutter to distinguish vapor from cell and background

– Gettering pump for CO2

Summary

• The reduced SiO2 activity in Rare-earth silicates should limit their reactivity with water vapor

• Solid State rare earth oxides—activity of SiO2

– Need reducing agent to obtain a measurable signal for SiO(g), which in turn relates to activity of

SiO2. Reducing agent must not change solid phase composition.

– Method and choice of reducing agent depends on particular silicate

• Thermodynamic data for gas phase hydroxides and solid candidate coating recession modeling input

data

• Secondary phases of the olivine sample were removed at temperatures > 1060 C.

• Mo and Re cell reacts with olivine sample. Ir must be used

• The main vapor species of the olivine sample are Mg+, O+, O2+, SiO+ and Fe+ following this order of

evaporation.

• The melting point of the olivine sample was determined by the ion intensity discontinuity to be 1805 C.

• Temperature dependence of partial pressures of the species were determined and their activities. Next

steps

• Vaporization coefficient measurements

• Fundamental understanding of thermodynamic is critical to models and structure-property relationships

– Vapor pressure techniques—Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry

• Silicates are everywhere – from minerals to electronic materials to aircraft engines
