资源简介:
We report the discovery of a (Al,Cu)-bearing micrometeorite recovered at the top of Mt. Gariglione (Italy). The micrometeorite exhibits a highly vesicular scoriaceous structure characterized by broadly chondritic silicate-dominated composition (S-type) with relict phenocrystals of forsteritic olivine dispersed in a Ca-rich silicate glass with pyroxene composition, droplets of FeNi metal, oxides and sporadic Ni-rich sulphides embedded in a magnetite rim. The oxygen 3-isotope analyses give values close to the slope ~1 CCAM. A reduced assemblage of (Al,Cu)-alloys partially fills the open voids of the micrometeorite and shows variable compositions: from almost pure Cu up to Al-dominated phases with a predominance of khatyrkite, stolperite and unnamed Cu<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>2</sub>. Locally, small grains (about 1-2 µm in size) embedded in stolperite show a Fe-Si enrichment and are characterized by a long-range ordering resembling a quasicrystalline structure. This finding represents a unique natural quasicrystal approximant with composition Al<sub>52</sub>Cu<sub>31</sub>Fe<sub>10</sub>Si<sub>7</sub>.
本研究报道了一枚在意大利加里廖内山(Mt. Gariglione)山顶回收的含铝铜系(Al,Cu)微陨石(micrometeorite)的发现。该微陨石呈现高度多孔的火山渣状结构,整体为以球粒陨石型(chondritic)硅酸盐为主的S型成分,其特征为:镁橄榄石(forsteritic olivine)的残余斑晶分散于富钙辉石成分的硅酸盐玻璃中,同时赋存铁镍金属(FeNi metal)液滴、氧化物以及零星分布的富镍硫化物(Ni-rich sulphides),整体被包裹于一层磁铁矿(magnetite)包膜中。氧三同位素(oxygen 3-isotope)分析结果接近斜率约为1的碳质球粒陨石无水矿物(CCAM)标准线。一套还原态的铝铜合金(Al,Cu-alloy)组合部分填充了该微陨石的开放孔隙,其成分具有多样性:从近乎纯铜的相到以铝为主的相,其中以卡谢矿(khatyrkite)、斯德普尔矿(stolperite)以及未命名的Cu₃Al₂相为主。局部区域中,赋存于斯德普尔矿中的细小颗粒(粒径约1~2 µm)呈现铁硅富集特征,且具有类似准晶(quasicrystalline)的长程有序结构。该发现是一种成分为Al₅₂Cu₃₁Fe₁₀Si₇的独特天然准晶近似相(quasicrystal approximant)。

背景概述
该数据集报告了在意大利Mt. Gariglione发现的微陨石中首次观测到的独特(Al,Cu)合金。微陨石具有多孔结构,主要成分为硅酸盐,并含有橄榄石、铁镍金属等;其中(Al,Cu)合金填充孔隙,成分从纯铜到铝主导相,包括khatyrkite和stolperite等矿物。特别地,在stolperite中发现了约1-2微米大小的颗粒,具有Fe-Si富集和类似准晶的长程有序结构,这是一种成分Al52Cu31Fe10Si7的天然准晶近似物,为天体矿物学提供了新见解。
