Phlogopite: one of the few minerals that can incorporate large amounts of F knowledge of how F is incorporated is useful for magmatic petrology (viscosities of magmas, melting temperatures, … ) F-content strongly depends on the Al-content of the phlogopites Ordering of Mg/Al, Al/Si, and OH/F in the phlogopite structure: combination of experimental techniques with computations NMR spectroscopy: information on the local environments of ions and formation of clusters in the structure J-formalism / Monte-Carlo-Simulations: configuration of lowest energy

Phlogopite Synthesis • K(Mg3-xAlx)(Al1+xSi3-xO10) (OH)y(F)2-y • with varying OH/F- ratios: 0.5 y 2.0 • and varying Al- contents: 0.0 x 1.6 • ( VIMg2+ + IVSi4+ VIAl3+ + VIAl3+; Tschermak’s substitution) • Synthesis conditions: T= 600 °C / 800 °C, p = 2 kbar, t ~ 7 d • impurity phases: corundum (a-Al2O3), kalsilite (KAlSiO4), • potassium aluminium hexafluoride (K3AlF6 * 0.5 H2O) • Analysis: 1H, 19F, 27Al, 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy, • 1D and 2D {1H} -> 29Si CPMAS NMR spectroscopy, • powder XRD, TEM

The Dipolar Interaction • The resulting magnetic field for the observed nucleus is also influenced by the • magnetic moments of neighbouring nuclei. • The dipolar Hamiltonian for two interacting nuclei i and j depends on • the magnetogyric ratios iand j of the nuclei • the internuclear distance rij is the angle between the magnetic field direction and the internuclear vector . • homonucleardipolar interaction (i = j): • heteronucleardipolar interaction (i j) :

The J formalism Example: two cation types A and B in a simple network of sites E = E0 + NAAJ where E0 = constant, and J = EAA + EBB – 2EAB i.e., the energy associated with replacing two like bonds with two unlike bonds • J >0: EAA + EBB > 2EAB • A-B bonds favoured • ordering • J < 0: EAA + EBB < 2EAB • A-A and B-B bonds favoured • exsolution (phase separation) General expression for multiple sites:

Conclusions • NMR spectroscopic investigations and Monte-Carlo-simulations both show a clustering of Al in the phlogopite structure • direct neighbourhood of Al in the octahedral and in the tetrahedral • sheets • perfect ordering of ions at x = 1.0 • formation of domains with octAl/tetAl = 1:2, tetAl/Si = 1:1 • x smaller than 1: formation of Al-rich clusters with perfect ordering and • clusters with composition of pure Mg-phlogopite • additional 1D {1H} 29Si CPMAS NMR experiments show: • grouping of OH-groups in the octahedral sheet • formation of Al-rich and OH-rich clusters in the structure • both investigations are in good agreement • but: • problems with higher x-values -> domain size to large? • influence of F still has to be investigated in the calculations
