[SIT22-P17] Viscosity and atomic-local-structures of basaltic melt under high pressure
Keywords:Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, Basaltic melt, Viscosity , Microscopic structures
High pressure properties of basaltic melt are of importance in deep Earth science related to such as early magma ocean and subsequent differentiation processes (Agee 1998; Ohtani and Maeda 2001; Suzuki, et al. 2005)
Recently, experimental studies reported that the viscosity of basaltic melt decreases with increasing pressure (Allwardt, et al. 2007; Sakamaki, et al. 2013). They suggested based on the results of classical molecular dynamics simulation (Nevins and Spera 1998) and 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (Allwardt, et al. 2007) that this anomalous behavior is related to the coordination change of Al. However, other silicate melts which contain none of Al also show a common behavior of viscosity (McMillan et al., 2009 ). It means that the microscopic origin of the anomalous pressure response of viscosity of the basaltic melt is still unclear. For this reason, in this study, we perform ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and analyze atomic–local-structures in basaltic aluminosilicate melt under pressure. At the last meeting, we reported the structural changes around Al atom. This time, we discuss relationship between the viscosity and structural changes not only around Al but other elements.
