โฆ Synopsis
The lattice parameters of anorthites AngsAb 2 and Anloo have been measured from 22 to 1100 K. The spontaneous strain arising from the I1-P 1 displacive transition in An98 follows second order Landau behaviour. The spontaneous strain (es) couples quadratically to the order parameter (QO) with esocQ~ * -T) and T* = 530 K in An98. This is in contrast to the tricritical behaviour observed in pure anorthite. These observations are consistent with a Landau model for the free energy of Ca-rich plagioclases in which A1/Si order and Na content renormalize the fourth order coefficient.
