The origin of the Siberian Traps province has been under discussion for the last three decades. Up to now, there is no real model of its formation in a good agreement with geological data on the magmatic evolution at P–T boundary in Eastern Siberia. Modern geochemical data on magmatic rocks around the province is a key to reconstructing magmatic development in time and space. Such data have been obtained for the Norilsk and Meimecha–Kotuy and not for other parts of the Siberian province. For the first time, we studied the geochemistry and mineralogy of magmatic rocks at the Kulyumber river valley, located in the intersection of the Tunguska syneclise and Norilsk–Igarka zone in the NW Siberian platform. In this article, we present data from the Khalil and Kaya sites of this area belonging to the Syverminsky, Gudchikhinsky, Khakanchansky and Nadezhdinsky formations. Their mineralogical and geochemical features (including Sr, Nd and Pb isotope data) are similar to the same formations in the Norilsk area, while the rocks belonging to the Gudchikhinsky formation show differences. The Syverminsky tuffs are also described for the first time. The intrusive rocks are attributed to four intrusive complexes, i.e., Ergalakhsky, Kureysky, Katangsky and Norilsk. The Ergalakhsky complex comprises trachydolerites similar to the trachydolerites of the Norilsk area. The rocks of the Norilsk complex at the Khalil site differ from the rocks of the same complex at the Norilsk area by the (U/Nb)n = 1.8, (La/Yb)n = 2.1 in comparison with 3.7 and 2.3 of the rocks of the Norilsk 1 intrusion. The intrusions of the Kureysky complex are more differentiated than those of the Katangsky intrusions but show comparable TiO2 and trace elements distribution. Thus, the magmatism of the Kulyumber area is characterized by features matching those of the Tunguska syneclise and Norilsk area, i.e., suggesting rift and platform regimes.

The origin of the Siberian trap province is under discussion even though numerous models of its formation have been created over the last three decades. This situation is mainly due to lack of modern geochemical data on magmatic rocks around the province. These data are a very important tool to reconstruct of magmatic evolution within the province in time and space and to understand a mechanism of province formation. Geochemical study has only been carried out so far for the Norilsk and Meimecha–Kotuy areas. For the first time, we have studied the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of magmatic rocks at the Kulyumber river valley located 150 km to south from the Norilsk ore district, in the junction of the Tunguska syneclise and Norilsk–Igarka zone. It comprises three sites, i.e., Khalil, Kaya, and Kulyumber. The geochemical data on the magmatic rocks of the Khalil and Kaya sites were published earlier (Part I). This article (Part II) regards geochemical and mineralogical data on igneous rocks at the Kulyumber site. Seventeen intrusive bodies (41 samples) and six samples of sedimentary rocks were studied by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Isotopes analyses (Sr, Nd, Pb) were conducted for 12 samples. These data were compared with data for intrusions of the Norilsk area, the Dzhaltulsky massif, Kureyka river, and intrusions in Angara river valley published earlier. The whole list of analyses includes 102 items. Three groups of intrusive rocks were recognized: (1) Mafic rocks with elevated K2O without negative Ta-Nb and Pb-positive anomalies, with (Gd/Yb)n = 2.0 and εNd = −1.0; attributed to a new Kulyumbinsky complex; (2) subalkaline rocks with elevated SiO2,TiO2, P2O5, and K2O with small negative Ta-Nb and positive Pb anomalies and (Gd/Yb)n = 1.8, εNd = −3.8; Ergalakhsky complex; and (3) mafic rocks with strong Ta-Nb and Pb anomalies and (Gd/Yb)n = 1.2–1.4, εNd = +0.4–+2.2. The third group is rather nonhomogeneous and includes intrusions of the Norilsk, Kuryesky, Katangsky, Ogonersky, and Daldykansky complexes differing in MgO content and trace element distribution (values of Ta-Nb, Pb, and Sr anomalies). Three groups of intrusive bodies had different magma sources and different condition of crystallization reflecting their origin in rift and platform regimes.

Understanding the magmatic evolution of the rocks once comprising the hinterland of the Grenville Orogen through their Mesoproterozoic formation is a key to understanding the Grenvillian Orogeny as a whole. In this contribution, we present high-precision isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID–TIMS) U–Pb and coupled solution multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (S–MC–ICP–MS) Lu–Hf zircon data from magmatic rocks occurring in the allochthonous belt of the Grenville Orogen in the central part of the Grenville Province. We document the presence of a large tract of Pinwarian crust represented by a 1497 ± 5 Ma granitic gneiss, as well as large late Geon 14 to early Geon 13 (1434 +7/−11, 1413 ± 12, 1393 ± 8, 1383 ± 1 Ma) magmatic complexes. One Grenvillian plutonic suite of 1015 ± 2 Ma that cross-cuts the host-rock metamorphic fabric has also been dated. This age provides a minimum age of Ottawan metamorphism in the region. The Hf-isotopic data show that the magmatic rocks of Geons 14 and 13 had mixed mantle and crustal sources compatible with intrusion in a supra-subduction setting as is also supported by the whole-rock geochemical data presented. Emplacement of the magmatic rocks occurred in settings varying from a distal margin arc to a contractional and extensional continental arc. Grenvillian-aged magmatism is more ambiguous, but our data indicate that rocks as young as ca. 1015 Ma may have formed in an ensialic setting.

The Norilsk ore region is characterized by the occurrence of numerous intrusions comprising the PGE–Cu–Ni deposits. The Turumakit area, within the Southern Norilsk Trough, also contains many mineralized mafic intrusions of probably similar economic potential to the known Norilsk deposits. We study igneous rocks from three boreholes within the Turumakit area, sampling gabbro-dolerites and trachydolerites related to the Norilsk and Ergalakh complexes, as well as an outcrop of the Daldykan gabbro-dolerite intrusion. Our petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical data, as well as the U–Pb dating of extracted baddeleyites and zircons, primarily discriminate between the sub-alkaline rocks of the main Turumakit area and the Ergalakh trachydolerites located in the Norilsk and Talnakh ore junctions. Coarser grained Turumakit trachydolerites (with pegmatite segregations) contrast finer grained Ergalakh trachydolerites by having: (1) higher TiO2 (up to 5.5 wt %) compared with 2.2 wt %–3.3 wt % in the typical Ergalakh rocks; (2) low U, lower La/Yb and La/Sm ratios (5–7), in contrast to 8–10 ppm, 2.5–2.6 and 3.0–3.3, respectively, for the Ergalakh trachydolerites; and (3) their age was determined by U–Pb methods on baddeleyite and zircon (244.8 ± 2.7 Ma), and it appears likely that the mafic rocks traditionally attributed to the Ergalakh complex within the Turumakit area are younger than the Norilsk intrusions (250 ± 1.4 Ma). These data strongly indicate an emplacement of Turumakit intrusions during the end of a ~5 Myr magmatic evolution of the Norilsk district. It is therefore proposed that the sub-alkaline rocks of the Turumakit area belong to a separate intrusive complex within the Norilsk district.

One of the highly debatable issue of the Altai Pleistocene paleogeography is the chronology and extension of the last ice-dammed lakes. For the first time paleontological, mineralogical characteristics, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages for lacustrine deposits confirm accumulation of ice-dammed lake with depth at least 170 m in Kurai basin at the end of the Late Pleistocene - 16-19 ka. New data provide information about the ecology and evolution of this Sartan reservoir. Draining of this lake less affected the topography in comparison with earlier cataclysmic glacier-lakes outburst floods. Nevertheless, the lake controlled human settlement of the basin in the Late Paleolithic. Drying of this reservoir defined formation of the modern hydrological network, including flowing of the Chuya River along the steep gorge between the Maashey and Belgibash mouths. New data evidence for significant difference in evolution of the Kurai-Chuya system of intermountain depressions and Uimon basin at the end of the Late Pleistocene.

Multicanonical molecular dynamics simulations are applied, for the first time, to study the liquid-solid and solid-solid transitions in Lennard-Jones (LJ) clusters. The transition temperatures are estimated based on the peak position in the heat capacity versus temperature curve. For LJ31, LJ58 and LJ98, our results on the solid-solid transition temperature are in good agreement with previous ones. For LJ309, the predicted liquid-solid transition temperature is also in agreement with previous result.

The mixed chloro-bromo-rhodates(III) [RhClnBr6-n]3-, n = 1-5, have been separated for the first time by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose. Due to the stronger trans-effect of Br, as compared with Cl, on treatment of [RhBr6]3- with conc. HCl nearly pure cis/fac-isomers for n = 2, 3, 4 are formed. The reaction of [RhCl6]3- with conc. HBr yields mixtures of the cis/trans-isomers for n = 2, 4, which cannot be separated, but mer-[RhCl3Br3]3 is formed stereospecifically. The IR and Raman spectra of all isolated mixed ligand complexes are completely assigned according to point groups Oh, D3d, C4v, C3v and C2v, supported by normal coordinate analyses based on a general valence force field. The good agreement of calculated and observed frequencies confirms the assignments. Due to the stronger trans-influence of Br as compared to Cl, in all asymmetric Cl—Rh—Br axes the Rh—Br bonds are strengthened and the Rh—Cl bonds are weakened, indicated by valence force constants for Rh—Br approximately 14% higher, for Rh—Cl 10% lower, as compared with the values calculated for symmetric Br—Rh—Br and Cl—Rh—Cl axes, respectively.

AbstractAnalyses of structures in the western part of the North Patagonian Massif (southern Argentina) suggest a polyphase evolution, accompanied by continuous intrusive activity. The first two deformations (D1, D2) and metamorphism affected the upper Palaeozoic, partly possibly older Cushamen Formation clastic succession and different intrusive rocks. A second group of intrusions, emplaced after the second deformational episode (D2), in many places contain angular xenoliths of the foliated country rocks, indicating high intrusive levels with brittle fracturing of the crust. Deformation of these magmatic rocks presumably began during (the final stage of) cooling and continued under solid-state conditions. It probably coincided with the third deformational event (D3) in the country rocks. Based on published U–Pb zircon ages of deformed granitoids, the D2-deformation and younger event along with the regional metamorphism are likely to be Permian in age. An onset of the deformational and magmatic history during Carboniferous times, however, cannot be excluded. The estimated ~W–E to NE–SW compression during the D2-deformation, also affecting the first group of intrusive rocks, can be related to subduction beneath the western Patagonia margin or an advanced stage of collisional tectonics within extra-Andean Patagonia. The younger ~N–S to NE–SW compression might have been an effect of oblique subduction in the west and/or continuing collision-related deformation. As a cause for its deviating orientation, younger block rotations during strike-slip faulting cannot be excluded. The previous D2-event presumably also had an effect on compression at the northern Patagonia margin that was interpreted as result of Patagonia's late Palaeozoic collision with the southwestern Gondwana margin. With the recently proposed Carboniferous subduction and collision south of the North Patagonian Massif, the entire scenario might suggest that Patagonia consists of two different pieces that were amalgamated with southwestern Gondwana during Late Palaeozoic times.

Separation by implemented oxygen (SIMOX)(111) substrates have been formed by oxygen-ion (16O+) implantation into Si(111), showing that a so-called “dose-window” at 16O+-implantation into Si differs from Si(100) to Si(111). In SIMOX(100), an oxygen dose of 4 × 1017/cm2 into Si(100) is widely recognized as the dose-window when the acceleration energy is 180 keV. For the first time, our work shows that an oxygen dose of 5 × 1017/cm2 into Si(111) is the dose-window for the formation of SIMOX(111) substrates when the acceleration energy is 180 keV. The difference between dose-windows is caused by anisotropy of the crystal orientation during growth of the faceted buried SiO2. We also numerically analyzed the data at different oxidation velocities for each facet of the polyhedral SiO2 islands. Numerical analysis results show good agreement with the experimental data.
