Abstract

Shock wave data to provide an equation of state of muscovite (initial density: 2.835 g/cm3) were determined up to a pressure of 141 GPa. The shock velocity (Us) versus particle velocity (Up) data are fit with a single linear relationship: Us=4.62(±0.12) +1.27(±0.04)Up (km/s). Third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state parameters (isentropic bulk modulus and isentropic pressure derivative of bulk modulus) are Kos=52±4GPa and K′os=3.2±0.3. The pressure-temperature relation along the Hugoniot suggests that muscovite may dehydrate to KA1Si3O8(hollandite), corundum, and water, with a small volume change, above 80 GPa. Thermodynamic calculations of the equilibrium pressure for the dehydration yields a significantly lower value. -from Authors
