High-resolution Electron Microscopy of Labradorite Feldspar

  • Chapter
Electron Microscopy in Mineralogy

Abstract

The “intermediate plagioclase structure” (Cole et al., 1951), the object of this study, occurs in single-phase low plagioclases between approximately 25 and 68 mole percent anorthite and, in exsolved specimens, extends from at least 8 to 84 mole percent anorthite. It is defined (Bown and Gay, 1958) as lacking the (b)-, (c)-, and (d)-type reflections present in diffraction patterns of anorthites. Besides the (a)-type reflections observed in all feldspars, it contains rows of (e)-satellites in symmetric positions to the (b)-type reflection positions for plagioclases having the I 1 structure as well as rows of (f)-satellites (parallel to those of the (e)-type satellites) in symmetric positions to the (a)-reflections.
