High-resolution electron microscopy of olivine-magnetite interfaces

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

In the oxidation of iron-rich olivine (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 at elevated temperatures interfaces between olivine and the magnetite spinel (Fe3O4) are formed. The orientation relation between these structures is such that the planar spacing for the principal low index planes are very closely matched in the two materials. Regions of different contrast is due toe enhanced iron concentration in this region caused by the strain field around the magnetite precipitates.
