Resumo: A sílica vítrea é um material fundamental para a indústria de alta tecnologia devido as suas propriedades únicas. Dentre estas podemos destacar a sua alta pureza aliada ao elevado ponto de fusão e alta transmitância no ultravioleta. É um material muito usado na indústria de semicondutores e em fotônica. Para aplicações na indústria óptica e de lâmpadas especiais, é necessário que a sílica vítrea tenha alta transmitância na região do ultravioleta médio (200 nm - 300 nm) e do visível e contenha um reduzido teor de bolhas. Tarugos de sílica vítrea foram produzidas pelo método de Verneuil a partir da fusão em chama com gás GLP e O2. Foram utilizados pós de quartzo natural brasileiro de diferentes regiões com variados teores de impurezas e pós de quartzo comerciais nacionais e importados. Foi introduzida uma etapa de lixiviação ácida em um dos pós de quartzo comercial brasileiro com o objetivo de diminuir o teor de bolhas na sílica vítrea. As impurezas nos pós de quartzo foram determinadas através da técnica de ICP-MS. A transmitância óptica entre 190-3200 nm foi determinada por espectroscopia óptica. O teor de OH presente nas amostras de sílica foi determinado através da banda de absorção em 2730 nm na região do infravermelho do espectro. O teor de bolhas foi determinado através de microscopia óptica, considerando bolhas maiores que 0,01 mm. Foi avaliada a relação entre a transmitância das amostras de sílica vítrea e os teores de impurezas presentes nos pós de quartzo. Os resultados de transmitância na região do médio UV das amostras de sílica vítrea produzida com pós de quartzo feitos a partir das lascas de quartzo brasileiro foram comparados com a sílica vítrea produzida com pó de quartzo comercial importado. Os teores de bolhas foram avaliados em relação às condições de processo de fusão e temperatura de fusão do tarugo. Os resultados mostram a excelente viabilidade do quartzo brasileiro para a fabricação de sílica vítrea de elevado valor agregado
Abstract: Due to their unique thermal and optical properties, silica glasses are highly demanded for use in the high technology industry. They are widely used in the semiconductor and optics industries. For most of the applications in optical industry it is necessary to present high optical transmittance in the medium ultraviolet region (200 nm - 300 nm) and visible and low content of bubbles. Silica glass rods were produced by the Verneuil method from flame fusion with LPG and O2 gases by using Brazilian natural quartz from various regions of the country and also imported and national commercial quartz powders. An acid leaching procedure in a commercial Brazilian powder quartz was tested with the purpose of reducing the bubbles content in silica glass. The measurements of impurities concentration in the quartz powders were determined by ICP-MS technique. The optical transmittance from 190-3200 nm was determined by optical spectroscopy. The OH content was determined by the absorption band at 2730 nm in the infrared region of the spectrum. The content of bubbles larger than 0.01 mm was determined by optical microscopy. The relationship between the optical transmittance of the silica glass samples and the level of impurities in the quartz powders was evaluated. The results of the average transmittance in the UV region of the silica glass samples produced from Brazilian quartz lascas were correlated with the silica glass produced using imported commercial quartz powders. The concentration of bubbles was evaluated with respect to the process conditions of fusion and ingot melting temperature. The results show an excellent feasibility of application of Brazilian natural quartz to produce high value added silica glass

Full textA specific variety of quartz showing a green color in nature or induced artificially by radiation is quite rare. This can be explained by the fact that the mechanism of formation of this color is very different from the ones widely discussed in the literature and responsible for the formation of the fumée, citrine and amethyst types of quartz, including the prasiolite (leak green quartz) formed by heating amethyst from Montezuma, Brazil. Only two occurrences are known today, where this type of quartz can be found: Canada, at the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine, Ontario, a small district, and Brazil, at widely scattered geode occurrences along a 600 km stretch from Quaraí at Brazils southernmost tip to Uberlandia in Minas Gerais. These two occurrences have been formed by strong hydrothermal activities, at Thunder Bay due to tectonics and in Brazil by meteoric and hydrothermal waters of the Guarani aquifer. That way much quartz crystals showed a very fast growth history facilitating the formation of growth defects (twinning, small angle tilting, mosaic growth, striations) and the uptake of water in form of micro inclusions, molecular water, silanol (Si-OH) and OH. This type of quartz can be considered ¨wet quartz¨, similar to synthetic quartz. The water content with up to 3200 ppm by weight exceeds the amount of charge balancing cations (Fe, Al, Li). There is no correlation between water content and cations as in other color varieties. Instead, silanol complexes are formed, which by radiation due to gamma rays form the color center NBOHC (non-bonding oxygen hole defect), showing absorption between 590 to 620 nm and leaving a transmission window at about 550nm, responsible for the green color. To characterize samples which will be colored green by gamma rays analyses by ICP, NAA, Electron microscopy, water loss techniques and UV-VIS and NIR-FTIR spectroscopic have been made. The spectroscopic water determination showed less water (up to 2300 ppm by weight) compared with heating techniques (3200 ppm), probably due to remaining silanol complexes.To trace the influence of water on color formation, samples from 3 different geological settings (high temperature pegmatitic quartz with Al and Li, from Santana de Araguaia; intermediate temperature vein quartz with Al but without water from Curvelo; amethyst with more Fe, less Al and small silanol content from Brejinho, and low temperature regimes from geodes, high silanol and high molecular water, cations similar to the above mentioned) have been analised by NIR spectroscopy.The former will not show green color, only the latter one. It may be mentioned that even in geodes one has crystals with high and intermediate water content coexisting. The crystals with high silanol and molecular water are the ones to treat by radiation. The radiation induced color is heat and UV sensible with bleaching by longer exposure to these factors.

Resumo: O uso de radiação ionizante é cada vez mais intenso, seja na indústria seja na área médica. Os efeitos nocivos da radiação ionizante exigem medidas de segurança na sua utilização e um dos meios mais comuns para proteção da saúde do operador de equipamentos que usam esta radiação é o controle da dose que este pode receber em determinado período de tempo. Para tal controle, são normalmente utilizados dosímetros pessoais. Estudos sobre datação de sedimentos costeiros e fluviais do Brasil têm encontrado tipos específicos de quartzo com excelentes características dosimétricas. Com o objetivo de analisar as propriedades dosimétricas de amostras de quartzo de elevada sensibilidade de luminescência e avaliar a sua possível utilização na dosimetria pessoal, foram feitos testes comparativos com amostra do principal e mais utilizado dosímetro pessoal do tipo OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence), o Al2O3:C. Este trabalho apresenta as características de luminescência de amostras de quartzo. Essas características foram determinadas por testes de recuperação de dose conhecida (dose recovery) por meio de protocolo de alíquota única (Single-Aliquot Regenerative ¿ SAR) em amostras irradiadas por fonte de radiação beta. Foram realizados testes de sensibilidade e de estabilidade do sinal OSL e testes com radiação gama. Os resultados mostraram que as amostras de quartzo estudadas foram capazes de recuperar com exatidão doses de 50 mGy a 50Gy. Estimou-se que as amostras de quartzo saturam em doses (114-175 Gy) superiores à dose de saturação da amostra de Al2O3:C (35 Gy). A dose mínima capaz de ser medida pelas amostras de quartzo variou de 0,2 mGy (para radiação gama) a aproximadamente 20 mGy (para radiação beta). As amostras de quartzo não apresentaram fading do sinal OSL. O sinal OSL ultravioleta da amostra de Al2O3:C cresceu com o tempo. A amostra de Al2O3:C apresentou maior sensibilidade em comparação às amostras de quartzo no teste com radiação beta. A sensibilidade da amostra de quartzo TE65B no teste com radiação gama foi superior à sensibilidade da amostra Al2O3:C. Estes resultados indicam que as amostras de quartzo estudadas têm potencial como material para dosímetros e incentivam estudos mais aprofundados para avaliar o uso destes tipos de quartzo como elementos sensores em dosímetros pessoais
Abstract: The use of ionizing radiation is becoming more intense, whether in industry or in the medical field. The harmful effects of ionizing radiation require safety measures in its use. One of the most common ways to protect the health of the operator of ionizing radiation equipment is the dose control that he/she can receive in a given time period. Personal dosimeters are used for this purpose. Studies on dating of coastal and fluvial sediments in Brazil have found quartz types with very high luminescence signal and excellent dosimetric characteristics. In order to analyze the dosimetric properties of very bright Brazilian quartz samples and evaluate their use in personal dosimetry, comparative tests with the most used personal OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) dosimeter, Al2O3:C, were made. This work presents the luminescence characteristics of quartz samples. These characteristics were determined by dose recovery tests using a Single-Aliquot Regenerative dose protocol (SAR) in samples irradiated by beta radiation. Sensitivity and stability tests and gamma radiation tests were made. The results have shown that the studied quartz samples were able to recover at least a dose range from 50 mGy to 50 Gy. It was estimated that the quartz samples saturate in doses (114-175 Gy) above the saturation dose of Al2O3:C sample (35 Gy). The minimum dose capable of being measured by the quartz samples ranged from 0.2 mGy (for gamma rays) to about 20 mGy (for beta radiation). The quartz samples showed no fading of the OSL signal. The ultraviolet OSL signal of Al2O3:C sample increased with time. The Al2O3:C sample showed higher sensitivity compared to quartz samples in beta radiation test. However, the sensitivity of TE65B quartz sample for the gamma radiation test was higher than the sensitivity of the Al2O3:C sample. These results indicate that the studied quartz samples have potential as dosimeter material and encourage further studies to evaluate the use of this type of quartz as sensor element in personal dosimeters

Full textThe hyaline quartz when treated with gamma irradiation, whether followed by heat treatment or not, can develop various hues of green, yellow and brown. These colors cause an increase in the commercial value of the quartz and colored varieties are often cut and used as gems, however, the result depends on its chemical composition and its geological environment. Some hues obtained through this treatment are not found in nature, as is the case of greenish-yellow hue; when the hyaline quartz develops this color itis known as \"green gold\". This study has as its mainobjective to analyze the formation of yellow-greenish hues developed by hyaline quartz crystals after irradiation and heattreatment, as well as to correlate the colors obtained from the geological environment and the chemical elements responsible for color. For this, 97 quartz samples were used, 93 of which were \"green gold\" quartz and 4 natural morion quartz, from pegmatites of Santana do Araguaia (PA) and hydrothermal veins near the Joaquim Felício (MG), respectively. The \"green gold\" quartz crystals were divided into 17 groups and the morion quartz samples were only 1 group, the criteria for separating the groups being the different hues. A sample from each group was kept original to be used as a standard, and later compared to the colors obtained. All groups of Santana do Araguaia - PA were heated to 330° C to lose color and be re-treated. After that, these lots were irradiated with 330kGy using a source of Co-60 and then heated to a temperature that ranged from 217° C to 330° C.The morion quartz group of Joaquim Felício - MG was only heated under the same conditions oftemperature. The colors developed after the treatment were visually classified by CMYK method and analyzed through visible spectroscopy. The data obtained have been compared to the colors of the standard samples. None of the groups from the pegmatites of Santana do Araguaia - PA developed the original color, only yellowish and brownish hues. Onlyone sample developed a peculiar green color after the re-treatment. The crystals of Joaquim Felício-MG, when heated, became grayish-brown. The results of this study suggest that the colors obtained in the process of production of the \"green gold\" quartz are related to the number of times that the quartz samples are treated, the dose of gamma irradiation and temperatures used, the origin of the mineral, and its chemical composition.

The goal of this thesis was to perform quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) on trace concentrations of NH3 in the 1.53 pm region with a DFB laser without the use of a resonating cavity. I analyzed the process of QEPAS both analytically and experimentally. First, absorption spectroscopy was performed with a 1.55 pm DFB laser on the 1558.033 nm absorption line of H13C12N. The wavelength of the laser radiation was then modulated, and the spectral components of the absorbance were analyzed. In addition, low concentrations of NH3 were generated through the use of a vacuum system, and absorption spectroscopy was performed on these samples. A tuning fork was also characterized. Photoacoustic signals were ultimately not realized, however, plans for future work are mentioned.

Full textThermoluminescence and optical absorption properties of seven varieties of natural Brazilian quartz, namely, blue, sulphurous, milky, pink, green, red and black quartzs, have been investigated. For comparasion measurements were carried out also on natural alpha and synthetic quartz. Since gemological amethyst and citrine have been studied by several authors, they were not included in this work. The X Ray diffraction analysis has shown that all seven varieties of quartz have a same crystal structure of a standard sample. X Ray fluorescence and Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis reveal Al2O3 and Na2O in all the quartz in fairly large amount, wich are essential in TL emission. Ca, Zn, Ba and Zr are also found in all the quartz samples, however several previous studies of silicate minerals indicated that they do not participate in the physical properties investigated. It is commonly known that a natural alpha quartz presents in its glow curve, 110, 220 and 325°C (sometimes replaced by 375°C) peaks. Except for 110°C peak, the two others are found is some variety but not in others. No explanation was found yet. The shape of glow curves also vary considerably from one variety to others. A striking result was obtained concerning TL response as function of radiation dose of 220°C (245°C in black quartz) and 325°C peaks. The linearsupralinear- sublinear, commonly observed in alkali halides, oxides, sulphates, etc. crystals are not observed in quartz samples except for 220°C peak in blue quartz and hyaline quartz. If linear and supralinear behavior are called first and second stage, the third stage in many of them is not sublinear, rather it keeps growing. In some cases, the first and second stages are strongly supralinear, sulphurous such as in quartz and pink quartz . In alkali halide crystal, for instance, the second stage is due to anion vacancy generated by radiation. In quartz it is due to generation of oxygen vacancy. For the third stage it is proposed that the radiation creates new oxygen vacancy in the group of SiO4 tetrahedron generating oxygen vacancy for the second stage. In the literature, one finds Ge being responsible for production of 110°C peak. The ICP-MS measurements has shown that Ge is found in all the varieties seven quartz, except in sulphurous one, but in less that 2 ppm concentration. Furthermore it was found that the 110°C peak intensity, in these quartz, has no correlation to Ge concentration, the 110°C peak has a huge intensity. Therefore, it is proposed that the oxygen removed from its normal site ends up in an intersticial position as neutral oxygen. The irradiation liberating e-h pairs enable intersticial oxygen to capture electron and became O- centre. This is the source of 110°C peak. The optical absorption spectra of alpha quartz, particularly of heavily irradiated one, show bands at 620, 450 and 350nm. They were attributed to aluminum. Similar result was found in alpha quartz, but the synthetic one with a comparable concentration of aluminum as in the natural alpha quartz did not present such bands, even after irradiation to 20 to 25kGy gamma rays. It was concluded that 620, 450 and 350nm bands are not due to aluminum. It was not found the impurities responsible for there bands. In conclusion, the seven varieties investigated, present quite different behaviour. Compared to that of the usual nature alpha quartz.

Full textEpitaxial films of piezoelectric α-quartz could enable the fabrication of sensors with unprecedented sensitivity for prospective applications in electronics, biology and medicine. However, a prerequisite is harnessing the crystallization of epitaxial α-quartz, tailoring suitable film microstructures for nanostructuration. In my PhD work, we bring new insights into the crystallization of epitaxial α-quartz films on Silicon(100) from the thermal devitrification of nanoporous silica and the control the film microstructures: We show that by increasing the quantity of devitrifying agent (Sr) it is possible to switch from an α-quartz microstructure consisting of porous flat film to one dominated by larger and fully dense α-quartz crystals. The mechanism of Sr-assisted devitrification was also investigated simultaneously. Then, we found that film thickness, annealing temperature, relative humidity and the nature of surfactant also play an important role in the control of the microstructure and homogeneity of the films. By increasing its, thickness it is possible to switch from a partly crystalline and porous film to fully a crystalline and dominated by dense crystals one. Annealing temperature can impact the crystallization process very deeply for it can change the dynamics and reactivity of Sr within the silica film. High relative humidity cooperates with a suitable surfactant to create perforations on the films via a water-induced phase separation phenomenon. This perforation can also influence the film crystallinity by altering the distribution of Sr inside film. All these studies on the one hand give us a better understanding of the mechanism of Sr-assisted devitrification and on the other hand can show us a versatile microstructural control of the epitaxial α-quartz film. Besides, via a multilayer deposition method, we have extended the maximum thickness of the α-quartz films from a few hundreds of nm into the µm range. Moreover, in my thesis, we report unprecedented large-scale fabrications of ordered arrays of piezoelectric epitaxial α-quartz nanostructures on silicon(100) substrates by the combination of three cost-effective lithographic techniques: (i) laser transfer lithography, (ii) soft nanoimprint lithography on Sr-doped SiO2 sol-gel thin films and (iii) self-assembled SrCO3 nanoparticles reactive nanomasks. Epitaxial α-quartz nanopillars with different diameters (down to 50 nm) and heights (up to 2000 nm) were obtained for the first time. This part of my PhD work demonstrates the control over the shape, micro- and nano-patterning of α-quartz thin films while preserving its crystallinity, texture and piezoelectricity, which opens the opportunity to fabricate new high frequency resonators and high sensitivity sensors relevant in different fields of application.

Full textMicroengineering has developed a broad range of production techniques to reduce size, increase throughput, and reduce cost of electrical and mechanical devices. The miniaturisation has also entailed entirely new opportunities.
In this work, a piezoresistive silicon sensor measuring mechanical deformation has been designed and fabricated with the help of microengineering. Due to the large variety of used processes, this device can serve as a survey of techniques in this field. Four basic process categories are recognised: additive, subtractive, modifying, and joining methods.
The last category, joining methods, has previously been the least investigated, especially when it comes to compatibility with the other categories. The adaptability of wet chemical etching to established silicon wafer bonding technique has been investigated. Further, phenomena related to oxygen plasma pre-treatment for direct bonding has been investigated by blister bond adhesion tests, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy.
Wafer bonding has been adapted to monocrystalline quartz. For wet chemical pre-treatment, characteristics specific for quartz raise obstacles. Problems with limited allowable annealing temperature, low permeability of water released in the bond at annealing, and electrostatic bonding of particles to the quartz surface, have been studied and overcome. The influence of internal bond interfaces on resonators has been investigated.
Chemical polishing of quartz by ammonium bifluoride has been experimentally investigated at high temperatures and concentrations. Chemometrical methods were used to search for optimum conditions giving the lowest surface roughness. These extreme conditions showed no extra advantages.
Adhesion quantification methods for wafer bonding have been comprehensively reviewed, and augmentations have been suggested. The improved techniques’ usefulness for three areas of use has been forecasted: general understanding, bonding scheme optimisation, and quality control. It was shown that the quality of measurements of all commonly used methods could be dramatically improved by small means.

Resumo: O Brasil é na atualidade um dos principais produtores de silício para o mundo, sendo que a quantidade de quartzo extraído para a sua produção incluindo o ferro-silício, é da ordem de 2 milhões de toneladas/ano. Para a obtenção do quartzo destinado à redução carbotérmica em silício, nos diversos estágios de extração, britagem, seleção, transporte, e lavagem, cerca de 300.000 toneladas/ano de lascas de quartzo tomam-se rejeitos. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvida uma metodologia ambientalmente correta, denominada "quench-Ieaching" e "crush-leaching", que se utiliza da lixiviação aquosa para a purificação deste material. Os resultados mostram que ocorre uma remoção efetiva de impurezas majoritárias nas lascas de quartzo, tais como, AI, Fe, Na, K, Ca, Mn, ..., dando-lhe uma pureza de 99,9% de SI 'O IND 2'. Uma comparação com diversos insumos de quartzo produzidos no exterior para uso em tecnologia avançada, como para produção de sílica vítrea translucente e "fillers" de "micro-chips", revela que este material purificado com esta tecnologia toma-se de qualidade equivalente ao pó de quartzo internacional
Abstract: Nowadays, Brazil is one of the main silicon metal and iron-silicon producer in the world. But on the other hand, the amount of natural quartz that has been extracted for this purpose is up to 2 milliontons/year. The key-point is the large quantity of rejected quartz lascas, approximately 300,000 tons/year, generated during the various stages of extraction, crushing, selection, transportation, and washing. A new environrnentally mendly purification methodology denominated "quench-Ieaching" and "crush-leaching, that only uses aqueous leaching, has been developed. The result shows an effective elimination of major quartz impurities, such as Al, Fe, Na, K, Ca, Mn, ... , that transforms this rejected material into a 99.9% purity SI 'O IND 2'. The quality of this material is as high as the quartz powder commercially available in the intemational market for use as "fillers" and translucent silica glass raw material for semiconductor industries

Resumo: Este trabalho foi conduzido com base em avaliar o potencial de jazidas de quartzo localizadas no Brasil para a utilização na fabricação de sílica vítrea para as indústrias de alta tecnologia (principalmente focando a manufatura de utensílios para a purificação e processamento de silício e de vidro óptico transparente no UV). As jazidas foram escolhidas conforme sua importância econômica no passado, seus níveis de produção, sua pureza química e a disponibilidade de minério. Elas foram avaliadas quanto à sua geologia, composição química (pela técnica de ICP-MS) e comportamento quando submetidas à fusão em sílica vítrea. Para esta fusão duas técnicas foram utilizadas, a técnica de Verneuil e a fusão em plasma pulsado (Spark Plasma Sintering). Os vidros fundidos com o material de cada jazida foram caracterizados quanto à transmitância óptica no visível e no UV. O trabalho também buscou identificar qual seria a melhor maneira de processar industrialmente o mineral proveniente de cada jazida. Os resultados obtidos mostram que várias jazidas são capazes de produzir vidros de alta qualidade, em especial aqueles provenientes de amostras da formação Serra de Santa Helena, localizada no norte do Estado de Minas Gerais e de Brotas de Macaúbas, no Estado da Bahia. Outras jazidas localizadas no Estado da Bahia também se mostraram alternativas economicamente viáveis
Abstract: This work aimed to evaluate the use of Brazilian quartz in the manufacture of silica glass for high tech industries (specially focused in the production of quartz crucibles for the high purity silicon industry and in the production of optical glass transparent to UV radiation). The mines which were studied here were selected according to its economic importance in the past, its production levels, its chemical purity and the amount of mineral contained in it. All mines were evaluated according to its geology, its chemistry (using the ICP-MS technique), and its behavior during fusion. In order to conduct this fusion, two different fusion techniques were used: Verneuil method, for flame fusion, and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) for electrical fusion. After fusion, each glass was evaluated according to its optical transmittance. It was also proposed some ways of industrially processing the minerals in order to obtain a better powder for fusion. Obtained results show that Brazilian mines are highly capable of producing good quality glasses using simple processing methods. The work emphasize the quality of the minerals original from the Santa Helena Formation, in northern Minas Gerais State, and from Brotas de Macaúbas, in the State of Bahia. Other minerals from the state of Bahia might also be a viable alternative

Full textA system of electrodiffusion was made in the laboratory to investigate effects of exchanging alkali ions, usually present in the structural channels by protons, in the optical and thermoluminescent properties of quartz. In the initial part of heating, the sweeping current presents a peak at about 350 GRAUS C. The analysis of the behaviour of this peak with additional data of optical absorption in the region of infrared, it was concluded that the peak at 350 GRAUS C of the current is due to [AL POT. 3+/M POT. +] system. Thermoluminescence and optical absorption spectra in the visible and ultraviolet light region for swept and unswept quartz were compared. Based on this comparison it was shown that, once irradiated to gama- or X-rays, alkali ions are removed from [AL POT. 3+/ M POT. +] and either couple to o ions or capture electron and become interstitial alkali atom, leaving, further, [ALO IND. 4] POT. 0 hole center. Heating at about 300 GRAUS C electrons from M POT 0 or M POT +O POT recombine with holes in [ALO IND. 4] POT. 0, emitting TL light, besides regrouping Al POT. 3+ and M POT. + to reform [Al POT. 3+/M POT. +] system by coulomb attraction. The electrodiffusion experiment was extended to beryl crystal, because beryl has also structural channels. To explain initial sweeping current behaviour as well as thermoluminescent property a mechanism involving [FE POT. 3+/M POT. +] system is proposed.

Full textBesides Minas Gerais, Goiás and Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia is worldwide known for its richness in minerals of industrial and gemological interest. Up to this day, more than 30 minerals of gemological use are known (Tavares et. al. 1998) One of the main gemological material is quartz, used currently in large amounts for jewelry due to its fair value and good response of color treatments by irradiation and heat. Most of the quartz is found and mined in the Espinhaço , Chapada Diamantina and Jacobina belts either as colorless quartz or as amethyst. The colorless variety is sometimes prone to treatments that induce color centers resulting in black (Morion), brown (Smoky), yellow(Citrine), green (Prasiolite) gemstones. Very few work exists dealing with the geological evolution, control of mineralization, estimation of quantities and possible treatments of these materials. The results of this work is a contribution to the knowledge of the metalogenic evolution of the studied areas and includes the location of all known occurrences of quartz from Bahia. It could be shown that most of the quartz from Bahia state is located mainly in a hydrothermal environment crosscutting the quartzites and arkosic rocks of the Espinhaço Supergroup. Field data showed strong tectonic control of the quartz veins, filling low angle traction fractures associated with the thrust belts that formed the Serra do Espinhaço mountain range. The fluids passing through these fractures deposited quartz, as amethyst (Breijinho de Ametista, Jacobina e Sento Sé), colorless and milky quartz and sometimes as citrine. The color of amethyst is due to substitutional iron with oxidation degree 4+, formed by irradiation of ferric iron contained in the tetrahedral of the quartz structure. Smoky colors are formed by irradiation of mainly Al containing quartz, whereas yellow and yellow green colors are formed by the presence of Al and Li. Few occurrences of colorless quartz forming a green variety by irradiation have been documented. Some preliminary results show that the type and intensity of color is determined by the specific environment of formation. More work is clearly needed to clarify the correlation of formation environment and color produced by irradiation and heat treatments.

Full textAs self-sensing and self-exciting tools, quartz probes present many advantages over the heretofore dominant silicon cantilevers for mechanical micro-sensing applications. One of these advantages is that they can be embedded and calibrated without the need for a laser deflection setup. The more compact and self-sufficient tools can therefore be readily integrated and controlled with Scanning Electron Microscopy, which is favoured at the smaller scales of micro-robotic research. More generally, the development and use of quartz probes is bolstered by the fact that they can be fabricated from widely commercialized quartz components and customised through the addition of a microtip. The quartz probes found in the literature are however largely based on components with limited oscillation frequencies, and could benefit from higher operating speeds. In this context, we address the frequency improvement and embedded control of AFM probes with regard to their use in targeted micro-robotics and imaging. The properties of quartz probes are first covered towards the evaluation and use of higher frequency components; we next demonstrate that faster scanning can be achieved with quartz probes made from thickness shear resonators, making them suitable for fast applications which do not require high sensitivity. Lastly, we integrate a tuning fork probe inside a SEM, and establish through it a proof of concept for the non-destructive stiffness mapping of fragile micro-membranes

Full textThe first part of my thesis is mainly focused on the effect of grain size distribution on compaction localization in porous sandstone. To identify the microstructural parameters that influence compaction band formation, I conducted a systematic study of mechanical deformation, failure mode and microstructural evolution in Bleurswiller and Boise sandstones, of similar porosity (∼25%) and mineralogy but different sorting. Discrete compaction bands were observed to develop over a wide range of pressure in the Bleurswiller sandstone that has a relatively uniform grain size distribution. In contrast, compaction localization was not observed in the poorly sorted Boise sandstone. My results demonstrate that grain size distribution exerts important influence on compaction band development, in agreement with recently published data from Valley of Fire and Buckskin Gulch, as well as numerical studies.
The second part aimed to improve current knowledge on inelastic behavior, failure mode and brittle-ductile transition in another sedimentary rock, porous carbonates. A micritic Tavel (porosity of ∼13%) and an allochemical Indiana (∼18%) limestones were deformed under compaction in wet and dry conditions. At lower confining pressures, shear localization occurred in brittle faulting regime. Through transitional regime, the deformation switched to cataclastic flow regime at higher confining pressure. Specifically in the cataclastic regime, the (dry and wet) Tavel and dry Indiana failed by distributed cataclastic flow, while in contrast, wet Indiana failed as compaction localization. My results demonstrate that different failure modes and mechanical behaviors under different deformation regimes and water saturation are fundamental prior to any geophysical application in porous carbonates.
The third part aimed to focus on investigating compaction on quartz aggregate starting at low (MPa) using X-ray diffraction. We report the diffraction peak evolution of quartz with increasing pressures. Through evaluating the unit cell lattice parameters and the volume of the quartz sample, macroscopic stress and strain were resolved. Moreover, we observed quartz peak broadened asymmetrically at low pressure, such extent is more prominent in axial than in radial direction. Our evaluation on peak [101] (highest intensity among peaks) demonstrated that full width at half maximum can be a good proxy for microscopic stress distribution. We observed deviations in the pressure-volume curves at P = ∼0.4 GPa and speculated that it was the point of which onset of grain crushing and pore collapse occur in quartz. This is on the same order of which onset of grain crushing (commonly known as P*) is observed in sandstones in the rock mechanics literature. This demonstrated that there is potential in estimating grain crushing and pore collapse pressure with our technique.
