Effect of Ionic Substitution on the Unit-Cell Dimensions of Synthetic Diopside*
Published:January 01, 1962
The writer has synthesized pure diopside and diopsides in which Na+1 and Mg+2 have been substituted for Ca+2; in which Al +3, Fe+3, Cr+3, Mn+2, Ni+2, and Ti+4 have been substituted for Mg+2; and in which Al+3 and Fe+3 have been substituted for Si+4 . The unit-cell dimensions of these synthetic clinopyroxenes have been determined. From these data, the effects of individual (e.g., Ni+2 for Mg+2) and coupled (e.g., Na+1 Al+3 for Ca+2Mg...
