Quartz

The lattice symmetry of quartz α-FePO4 is trigonal. Its space group is P3121. The lattice symmetry of quartz β-FePO4 is hexagonal. It space group is P6422. According to the article, only two of the various quartz homeotypes which exhibit alpha-beta transitions have been studied in detail at high temperature. One of them is Silicon Dioxide. As such, it is possible for silicon dioxide to have the same structure when the chemistry is completely different. Since iron…

Paragraph 1 (300 - 500 words) Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 To compare quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4, it is essential to look at their crystal structures and crystal chemistry. This can be done by observing their three-dimensional structures as well as their reactions to various degrees of temperature. This particular research takes a look at the structure of FePO4 between temperatures of 294K to 1073K. At lower temperatures,…

will evaluate the Haines et al. Also, the essay will discuss about how the structure of FePO4 will change at various temperature ranging from 294K to 1073K. FePO4's A cation is a transition metal, thus it is not the same as other α-quartz isotopes. FePO4' has α-quartz structure which is tetrahedral when it is at a very low temperature. Under huge pressure, FePO4's structure goes through a phenomena called β-phase which it became a more condensed octahedral structure. Incoherence will be seen…

carbonate (Rye, Doe, and Delevaux 1974). The magnesium rich mineral is sideroplesite (magnesium sericite) (Norton 1971). There is also grunerite and cummingtonite found in the Homestake Formation (Morelli et al. 2010). The gold is hosted within a quartz veined sulfide rich segments of a carbonate iron formation, which are early Proterozoic in age (Caddey et al. 1991). The sulfide minerals that are associated with the gold are pyrrhotite, pyrite and arsenopyrite (Norton…

was studied in through neutron powder diffraction across a wide range of temperatures, and was found to have 2 states in general, the α (alpha) phase and β ( beta ) phase. The alpha phase exhibits a tetrahedral structure, which is similar to alpha quartz, and this occurs during generally low temperatures. In the case of this paper, the temperatures experimented on were between 294K and 1073K. The beta phase, however, is denser and exhibits a octahedral structure. The transition between these 2…

tick. It hums.”(Dennis & Stephens, 2001). Nine years later the first electronic quartz movement watch hit the shelves on Chrismas Day 1969—the Astron SQ (Dennis & Stephens, 2001). It was sold in limited quantities and developed by Seiko, a Japanese watchmaking company. It sported a battery and a vibrating quartz crystal. Quartz movements use the reverse piezoelectric effect of crystals to keep constant time. These quartz movement watches started being mass produced by Swatch, a Swiss company, in…

Introduction The state I chose for my research paper is Georgia. I chose this state because my family lives there. I wanted to know about what was there and some interesting facts about Georgia. Another reason I chose this state is their main fruit is a peach. I mean, who doesn’t like peaches. I also chose it because if I ever go back and visit my family in Georgia I will know stuff about it. That is why I chose the state Georgia. State Insect Georgia’s state insect is the honeybee. The…

Paragraph 1 The quartz type Iron (III) Phosphate (FePO4) evolves with the changing temperature from 294K to 1073K. From this, the polymorphic transformations in iron phosphate as a function of temperature can be observed. From iron phosphate, all the iron and all of the phosphorus are in tetrahedral coordination to oxygen. All of the iron and the phosphate are in tetrahedral coordinates. It also has a very open structure and has a lot of empty spaces. This means that as the temperature changes…

with the lattice symmetry being hexagonal in shape. In this writing assignment, FePO4 is studied at varying temperature ranging from 294K to 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. At a relatively low temperature, it adopts the structure of the α-quartz. However, at high pressures, it changes and it can be observed that it becomes a denser octahedral structure due to a phase change occurring, which is also known as the β-phase. This transition occurs and can be observed at the temperature of…
