We report on high-pressure and high-temperature chemical transformations of Pb(2+)-exchanged natrolite (Pb-NAT, Pb8Al16Si24O80·16H2O) using a combination of in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and ex situ HAADF-STEM real space imaging. Three high-pressure polymorphs of natrolites (Pb-NAT-I, II, III) are observed via step-wise pressure-induced hydrations (PIH) up to 4.5 GPa, during which the number of H2O molecules located inside the natrolite channel increases from 16 to 40 H2O per unit-cell. At 4.5 GPa after heating the high-pressure Pb-NAT-III phase at 200 °C a reconstructive phase transits into a lawsonite phase (Pb-LAW, Pb4Al8Si8O28(OH)8·4H2O) with an orthorhombic space group Pbnm and a = 5.8216(9), b = 9.114(1) and c = 13.320(1) Å is observed. The structure of the recovered Pb-LAW phase was characterized using Rietveld refinement of the in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and HAADF-STEM real space imaging. In the recovered Pb-LAW phase the Pb(2+) content is close to 42 wt% and as bond valence approximations reveal the Pb(2+) cations are more tightly coordinated to the framework oxygen atoms than originally in the natrolite phase.

In recent years, metal hydride research has become one of the driving forces of the high-pressure community, as it is believed to hold the key to superconductivity close to ambient temperature. While numerous novel metal hydride compounds have been reported and extensively investigated for their superconducting properties, little attention has been focused on the atomic and electronic states of hydrogen, the main ingredient in these novel compounds. Here, we present combined H- and La-NMR data on lanthanum superhydrides, LaH, (x = 10.

High-pressure and high-temperature Raman spectra of natural pyromorphite, vanadinite and mimetite were measured up to 11 GPa and 973 K, respectively. No phase transition was observed within the temperature and pressure ranges in this study. Raman modes for pyromorphite, vanadinite and mimetite vary with temperature or pressure linearly.

The steep temperature gradient near the bottom of the mantle is known to generate a negative correlation between the shear wave velocity ( ) and the depth in most regions of the D″ layer, as detected by seismological observations. However, increasing with depth is observed at the D″ layer beneath Central America, where the Farallon slab sinks, and the origin of this anomaly has not been well constrained. Here, we calculate the thermoelastic constants and obtain the elastic wave velocities of hydrous phase H with various Al contents and cation configurations, which may act as a water carrier to the D″ layer.
