Experimental Evidence for High-Pressure Transformation of Merrillite and Na-Bearing Phosphates
Abstract
We provide data on the synthesis of merrillite and other Na-phosphates at 15-20 GPa and show their relevance to high-pressure phosphates in meteorites. Merrillite transforms into tuite-like structure, whereas brianite remains untransformed to 20 GPa.
