Bredigite was synthesized by using the Piston-Cylinder in 1.2 GPa and 1 473 K. With external heating device and diamond anvil cell, high temperature and high pressure Raman spectra of bredigite were collected at temperatures 298, 353, 463, 543, 663, 773 and 873 K and with pressure from 1 atm up to 14.36 GPa (room temperature). The SEM image showed that the sample consisted of one crystalline phase with grain size ranging from 10～20 μm. The EPMA data suggest a chemical formula of Ca7.03(2)Mg0.98(2)Si3.94(2)O16which was identical to the theoretical component of bredigite. The Raman spectroscopic results indicate there were 29 vibration bands of bredigite at high temperature. Some bands were merging, weakening and disappearing increasingly with the temperature, which was obvious in the range of 800～1 200 cm-1. The vibration bands of 909, 927 and 950 cm-1disappeared at 873, 773 and 873 K, respectively. The results primarily indicated that the structure of bredigite was stable under experimental condition. In addition, isobaric mode-Grüneisen parameters and isothermal mode-Grüneisen parameters were calculated, yielding 1.47(2) and 0.45(3) as their mean values, respectively. Anharmonic coefficients were estimated based on the high temperature and high pressure Raman experiments, showing that the contributions to anharmonic-effect induced with the Si—O vibration modes were smaller than other modes.

Isobaric Grüneisen parameter can be calculated as

In whichν0iand ?νi/?Twas the mode frequencies at ambient conditions and theretemperature-dependent frequency shift, respectively,αisthere was the thermal expansion coefficient. For there was no high temperature experiment performed to investigate the thermal expansion coefficients. So take the minerals including monticellite and pyroxene as references[28-30], the thermal expansion coefficients was assumed as 3.96×10-5K-1in this study.

Fig.4 Raman frequency shifts as functions of temperature

The results of the calculated isobaric Grüneisen parameters were listed in Table 1. Values corresponding to the internal modes range from 1.5 to 3.22, lattice modes range from 0.63 to 1.21. The average value of all isobaric Grüneisen parameters is 1.47(3).

High pressure Raman spectrums were showed as Fig.5. Totally, 25 peaks were collected in high pressure experiments, with 17 peaks distributed in the range of 200～600 cm-1and 8 peaks in the range of 800～110 cm-1. All the peaks shift toward high frequency as pressure increases without the appearance of new peaks or the disappearance of primitive peaks. The fitting results showed that the relationship between peak shifting and pressure is a linear one, and the Frequency shifts as a function of pressure of bredigite were shown in Table 1. The results of high pressure Raman also primitively indicate that the structure of bredigite can be stable as pressure increase up to 14.36 GPa.

Similarly as to thermal expansion coefficients, we also took minerals including monticellite and pyroxene as reference[31-33], the bulk modulus of bredigite was assumed as 109 GPa in this study. The mode-Grüneisen parameter (γi) can be obtained from the following equation

Fig.6 Raman frequency shifts ad a function of pressure of bredigite

Whereν0iand dνi/dPare mode frequencies at ambient conditions and their pressure-dependent frequency shift, respectively,KTstand for the bulk modulus. These parameters were calculated using polynomial fitting of the Raman frequencies as a function of pressure. The obtained dνi/dPandγivalues Table 1.

The results of the calculated mode Grüneisen parameters were listed in Table1. Values corresponding to the internal modes range from 0.2 to 0.45, lattice modes range from 0.47 to 0.80. The average value of all mode Grüneisen parameters is 0.45(8).

2.3 Anharmonic parameter

Anharmonic parameter is an important parameter in thermodynamic system, which stands for the anharmonic extent induced by temperature and pressure. According to the equation[34]

(4)

Fig.7 Anharmonic parameters of bredigite

Combining the result of high temperature and high pressure experiments, the estimated anharmonic parameters of different modes were listed in Table 1 and Fig.7. The values of internal modes range from -0.84 to -3.57, and the values of lattice modes range from -3.81 to -6.27.

It’s obvious that the absolute value of internal modes was smaller than that of lattice modes. The results indicate that the vibrations of Si-O have more contributions to heat capacity than other vibrational-modes.

3 Conclusions

The result of high temperature Raman experiment showed that no phase transition happened in bredigite’s structure within the investigated temperature range;

(3) With diamond anvil cell, high pressure Raman spectrums were collected up to 14.36 GPa, giving the shift rates and mode- Grüneisen parameters, the average of all mode Grüneisen parameters was 0.45(8). The result of high pressure Raman experiment showed that the structure of bredigite could keep stable as pressure up to at least 14.36 GPa;

(4) Anharmonic parameters were calculated based on the results of high temperature and high pressure experiments, the result showed that the anharmonic effects of vibration induced by Si-O were smaller than other vibration modes.
