Abstract
Research subject. The composition, properties, and connection of the lattice defects in the disordered s tructure of quartz with the conditions of its formation. Materials and methods. The quartz of the gold deposits of the Darasun ore field – Darasun, Teremkinskoye, and Talatuy – were studied. For the purpose of comparative analysis, gold-ore quartz from the deposits of Northern Kazakhstan was used. Registration of centers in quartz samples was carried out by the EPR method. When interpreting the obtained results, genetic information consisting in the distribution of substitutional Ge and Ti impurities in quartz was used. Results. Two groups of paramagnetic centers were identified in the quartz under study. One of them is associated with substitutional Al, Ti, and Ge impurities in quartz zones with an ordered crystal structure, while the other is associated with the lattice defects localized in the disordered crystal structure of quartz. The latter group includes several types of E'-centers formed in quartz glass and Al-X-centers caused by Al3+ ions associated with oxygen vacancies. In the case of stable thermodynamic conditions of mineral formation, a linear relationship was established between the concentrations of Al-X-centers (CAl-X) and E'-centers (CEs). Under a change in thermodynamic conditions, a deviation of the points from the CEs(CAl-X) dependence was observed. Conclusions. The type of CEs(CAl-X) dependence is determined by the thermodynamic conditions of mineral formation and can be used to identify cases of non-equilibrium solidification of quartz.
