abstract = {We examined the influence of Al$_2$O$_3$ and H$_2$O on the
position of the coesite–stishovite transition by means of
in situ X-ray diffraction measurements with the large-volume
press at the PETRA III synchrotron in Hamburg. The position
of the transition was determined by several reversal
experiments and was found to be shifted almost in parallel
by about 1.5 GPa to lower pressures compared to results
for the pure SiO$_2$ system reported by Ono et al. (2017).
Two further reversal experiments with either additional
Al$_2$O$_3$ or additional H$_2$O added to SiO$_2$ showed
smaller changes compared to the results of Ono et al.
(2017), indicating the effect of the coupled Al and H
incorporation in coesite and stishovite on their transition.
Further investigations of the solid quenched products and of
products from additional multi-anvil experiments performed
at the GFZ Helmholtz-Zentrum für Geoforschung in Potsdam
were done by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission
electron microscopy (TEM), electron probe micro-analysis
(EPMA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman
spectroscopy. Generally, the recovered samples of the in
situ experiments contained less stishovite than expected
from the last in situ XRD pattern before quenching. Thus,
these investigations clearly show that hydrous, Al-rich
stishovite that formed at high pressure (P) and temperature
(T) could, at least partly, not be quenched to room
conditions and transformed to coesite with unusually high
(Al, H) contents. As result of this, conventional quench
experiments would lead to erroneous results of the
transition in the (Al, H)-bearing SiO2 system. We observed
two kinds of coesite in the experiments: one relatively
Al-poor coesite transformed under equilibrium conditions at
P and T from stishovite over a certain time frame and an
Al-richer one, sometimes pseudomorphically replacing former
stishovite during the decompression process to room
conditions. Within both types of coesite, nanometre-sized
kyanite inclusions and relicts or remnants of stishovite
were observed by TEM. These observations resemble those of
Yang et al. (2007) on ophiolites with identical textures and
phases and were interpreted as result of a stishovite
transition back to coesite during retrograde metamorphism.
Our results clearly indicate that the coesite–stishovite
transition is sharp but can considerably vary in depth by
the addition of Al and H to the SiO$_2$ system. This has
consequences for the assignment and interpretation of the
depth variation of the seismic X discontinuity.},
