T. Ericsson et Ag. Nord, CATION PARTITIONING IN OLIVINE-RELATED (FE,M)(2)GES4 THIOGERMANATES, M=MG, MN, ZN, Neues Jahrbuch fur Mineralogie Monatshefte, (5), 1995, pp. 202-210
Synthetic (Fe,M)(2)GeS4 thiogermanates have been prepared and equilibr
ated at 800 degrees C (M = Mg, Mn, or Zn). Unit cell dimensions for th
e orthorhombic olivine (Pbnm) structure are given. Cation partitioning
obtained from Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy data are compared with sim
ilar results from the literature for olivines and olivine-related soli
d solutions.
