The interaction between albite decomposition and plastic deformation

Abstract

We conducted the albite decomposition experiments at 1.1-4.1 GPa and 673-1073K under differential stresses using multi-anvil type deformation apparatus with synchrotron X-ray. Flow stresses of each phase and transformation rates were observed by time-resolved two-dimensional X-ray diffraction measurements, and axial strains were measured from radiography images of the samples. Based on the results obtained, we will discuss the interaction between the albite decomposition and plastic flow.
