The majority of hornblenditic autholiths and hornblenditic xenoliths are placed inside the trachy andesite rocks and the trachy basaltic andesite rocks. These autholiths and xenoliths, which have a cumulate texture, are classified into two groups based on the amount of plagioclase mineral. In Group 1, the amount of plagioclase is less than 10% and contains amphibole and biotite as the main minerals. Considering, contents of Cr and Ni, REE trend shape and the chemical composition of minerals, it seems that the origin of magma for group 1(hornblenditic autholiths) is the same as magma of host volcanic rocks. In Group 2, the amount of plagioclase is more than 20% and contains amphibole, plagioclase and biotite as the main minerals. The combination of minerals of group 2 are not similar to group 1. Considering, combination of minerals, REE trend shape and contents of REE and contents of incompatible trace elements, it seems that the magma of group 2 (hornblenditic xenoliths) is derived from the mantle metasomatized with less enriched than group 1.}, Keywords = {Trachy andesite, autholith, xenolith, hornblendite, north west of Maran.}, volume = {25}, Number = {4}, pages = {681-696}, publisher = {Iranian Socity of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, doi = {10.29252/ijcm.25.4.681}, url = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-988-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-988-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, issn = {1726-3689}, eissn = {2588-4719}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Ahangari, masoumeh}, title = {Origin of tourmaline and garnet in west Qushchi mylonite granite (NW Iran); constrains on petrogenesis of parental rock}, abstract ={The studied mylonite granites are exposed as small bodies at the west of Qushchi in the West Azarbaijan Province.

In terms of crosscutting relationships, old series has the age between oldest volcanic units (57 Ma) and Eocene granitoids (40 Ma), but the swarm dykes are attributed to the post Eocene (Oligocene?) in age. Mafic-intermediate bodies with the high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic, metaluminous to low peraluminous, LILE/HFSE and LREE enrichment [(La/Yb)N=5.3-6.8] and depletion of HREE characteristics are reminiscent of the arcs in subduction zone.

This deposit is a product of alteration of ignimbrites with the age of early Eocene.

Further investigations revealed that the studied samples are classified as dioctahedral smectites group and their mineralogical composition lies within the range of beidellite-montmorillonite-nontronite.

The pick metamorphic minerals of garnet amphibolites have been completely replaced by the low temperature plagioclase-hornblende symplectite. So, the pick metamorphic P-T conditions of these rocks (M1) have not been recognized due to the lack of proper mineral assemblage and chemistry of phases. The retrograde P-T conditions (M2) have been determined on the basis of textural evidence, equilibrium mineral assemblage and mineral chemistry as two stages: (1) the retrograde metamorphism as strong decreasing of pressure (M2-a) and (2) cooling and decompression stage during exhumation of the rocks (M2-b). The temperature and pressure conditions during M2-a and M2-b have been obtained as 650°C-700°C at 7-8 kbar and 510°C-570°C at 5.5-6 kbar, respectively. Considering textural evidence, mineral assemblage, thermobarometry estimations and clockwise retrograde P-T paths of the investigated rocks it can be considered that the first section of P-T path with deep dP/dT sleep indicates strong decreasing of pressure most probably related to thrust faulting resulted from crustal thickening during continental collision, whereas the second part of P-T path has been formed by cooling of the rocks related to crustal thinning and exhumation processes.

Intrusions of various masses and protolites, such as politic and basic layers, have made metamorphic rocks of this area to be different. Regional metamorphic rocks include slates, schists, and amphibolites which are metamorphosed in the range of middle green schists to the early amphibolites facies.

Mineralogical studies display that the kaolinite, jarosite, hematite, quartz, calcite, anortite, alunite, diaspore, chlorite, montmorillonite, illite, albite, orthoclase, halite, sanidine, goethite, malachite, azurite and sericite are the rock-forming minerals in this deposit. Based on geothrmometry data on the chlorite which produced by alteration process, the temperature of hydrothermal fluid formed this deposit has been between 98.25 oc to 321.04oc. According to geochemical studies, the alteration process of volcanic and pyroclastic rocks to Kaolin have been accompanied by enrichment of Rb, Cs, Ba, Sr, Nb, Hf, Zr, Y, Th, Al and U; leaching-fixation of Si, Ca, Ti, Na and P; and depletion of Fe, Mn, Mg, K Cr, Ni and RREs. Furthermore, the geochemical data can be refer to high (La/Lu)N, and high Sr, Ba values than to La, Ce and Y. Also Ce and Eu anomalies in the studied area were controlled by degree of feldspar alteration as well as changing the in degree of oxidation of environment respectively.  It seems that the development of the Rahmatabad Kaolin deposit was supported by mixing of two hypogene and supergene processes. The discrepancy in the rate of alteration intensity of the source materials, chemistry of altering solutions, adsorption, incorporation in crystal lattice, difference in degree of complexation with sulfate, chloride, and fluoride ligands and difference in the stability scale of primary minerals against the alteration are considered as six important factors for controlling the mobilization, distribution, and concentration of elements in the Rahmatabad Kaolin deposit. }, Keywords = {Mineralogy, Kaolin, pyroclastic units, mobilization of elements, Ghuat of Mollaahmad Nain.}, volume = {25}, Number = {4}, pages = {857-870}, publisher = {Iranian Socity of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, doi = {10.29252/ijcm.25.4.857}, url = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-1001-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-1001-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, issn = {1726-3689}, eissn = {2588-4719}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {ranjbar, Fereshteh and masoudi, fariborz and homam, masoud and kerfo, fernando and mohajel, mohamm}, title = {Introducing Ordovician plutonism as a result of Caledonian orogeny from North East of Iran}, abstract ={Gabbroic intrusions are located about 40 Km southeast of Fariman in Central Iran zone along the Fariman- Torbatjam road that could be seen at the end of Bardoo river and in Chahak village. Previous studies have emphasis on the age and genesis relationship between granites and gabbroic rocks. So in order to investigate this matter, granites and gabbroes  dated by using U-Pb method in Oslo University. Granites show the age of 548.3 Ma that is concarrent with the formation of schists during high temperature metamorphism in Fariman area. Dating of gabbroic rocks suggest an age of 471.14 ±0.85 mainly Early Paleozoic age that is younger than magmatism formed granites. Introducing Ordovician plotunism in this area is very important for reconstruction of Caledonian event. It seems that the formation of Gobbroic rocks is as a result of a short orogeny event due to opening of paleotethys during ordovician and Silurian.}, Keywords = {Sibak, Fariman, Gabbro, Early Paleozoic, Caledonian}, volume = {25}, Number = {4}, pages = {871-878}, publisher = {Iranian Socity of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, doi = {10.29252/ijcm.25.4.871}, url = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-1002-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijcm.ir/article-1-1002-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Crystallography and Mineralogy}, issn = {1726-3689}, eissn = {2588-4719}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Hatamikakesh, masoumeh and niyaiifar, mohammad and hasanpour, ahm}, title = {Effect of samarium substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of Yttrium Iron Garnet Nanoparticles prepared by Sol-gel Method}, abstract ={In this work, samarium ion (Sm3+) substituted yttrium iron garnet nanoparticles Y3-xSmxFe5O12 (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.3) were fabricated by the sol-gel method.

The effect of precursor and the thickness of the seed layer on the structural and optical properties of grown ZnO nanorods were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The XRD patterns indicated that the nanorods had wrutzite hexagonal crystalline structure with orientation of [002]. FESEM images clearly revealed that the ZnO nanorods with different solution concentration on different seed layers and precursor solution concentration were grown on substrate glass. The ZnO nanorods with solution concentration of 50 mM and 10 times the seed layer deposition are the better morphology and more optical transmittance in the range of visible.
