• W1661222974 abstract "The contribution of this dissertation is to expand the current knowledge of factors and mechanisms that influence the development of preferred orientation of minerlas and pores in different materials, ranging from rocks in Earth's crust to minerals in the deep Earth. Preferred orientation-a main contributing component to elastic anisotropy-is however very challenging to quantify. The overall focus of this thesis thus aims to (1) apply the capabilities of synchrotron X-ray techniques to determine preferred orientations of hexagonal metals and shales under different conditions and (2) enhance our understanding of their relationships to the elastic properties. Lattice preferred orientation (LPO) or `texture' of hexagonal close-packed iron (hcp- Fe) crystals during deformation has been suggested as the cause of the elastic anisotropy observed in Earth's inner core. However, relatively little is known about LPO of other hcp metals. An investigation of a wide range of hcp metals (Cd, Zn, Os, and Hf) as analogs to hcp-Fe was thus undertaken to better understand deformation mechanisms at high pressure and temperature in Chapter 2. The diamond anvil cell in a radial geometry (rDAC) and the D-DIA multi-anvil apparatus, equipped with a heating system, were used to impose both pressure and stress on the samples. These state-of-the-art tools enable us to create extreme conditions similar to the Earth's interior. A synchrotron X-ray beam is then employed to record diffraction patterns of the deformed materials. Results show that all hcp metals preferentially align their c-axes near the compression axis during deformation but with considerable differences. The gradual texture evolution in Cd and Zn is mainly controlled by basal slip systems while a rapid texture development in Os and Hf at ambient temperature is due to a dominant role of tensile twinning, with some degree of basal slip. At elevated temperature, tensile twinning is suppressed and texturing is governed by combined basal and prismatic slip. Under all conditions, basal slip appears to be the main deformation mechanism in hcp metals at high pressure and temperature. These findings are similar to those of hcp-Fe and useful to better understand the deformation mechanisms of hcp metals and their implications for elastic anisotropy. Besides the investigation of deep Earth materials, this dissertation also considers crustal rocks: particularly shales, which are among the most anisotropic rocks. Shale has increasingly received attention because of its significance in prospecting for petroleum deposits, as well as seals in the context of CO2 sequestration. Elastic anisotropy in shales is caused by the LPO of clay minerals as well as by shape preferred orientation (SPO) of pore, fractures, and the organic material (kerogen) network. However, due to the small grain size and poor crystallinity of swelling clays, the LPO of clays is difficult to quantify. In Chapter 3, a high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique was applied to characterize LPO and phase proportions of Posidonia Shale collected in the Hils Syncline from Germany, in order to examine the influence of clay content, burial depth, and thermal history. The samples used in this study had experienced different local temperatures during burial and uplifting, as established by the maturity of kerogen (0.68-1.45% vitrinite reflectance, Ro), but their constituent clay minerals, including kaolinite, illite-mica, and illite-smectite, show similar degrees of LPO in all samples, ranging between 3.7 and 6.3 multiple of random distribution (m.r.d.). These observations imply that the difference in local thermal history, which significantly affects the maturity of kerogen, at most marginally influences LPO of clays, as the alignment of clays was established early in the history. In Chapter 4, the SPO of constituents phases in Kimmeridge Shale (North Sea, UK) and Barnett Shale (Gulf of Mexico, USA) was quantified to a resolution of ~1 &#956;m by using synchrotron X-ray microtomography (SXMT) technique. Measurements were done at different facilities (ALS, APS, and SLS) to characterize 3D microstructures, explore resolution limitations, and develop satisfactory procedures for data quantification. Segmentation images show that the SPO of low density features, including pores, fractures, and kerogen, is mostly anisotropic and oriented parallel to the bedding plane. Small pores are generally dispersed, whereas some large fractures and kerogen have irregular shapes and remain aligned horizontally. In contrast, pyrite exhibits no SPO. The volume fractions and aspect ratios of low density features extracted from three synchrotron sources show excellent agreement with 6.3(6)% for Kimmeridge Shale and 4.5(4)% for Barnett Shale. A small variation is mainly due to differences of optical instruments and technical setups. The SXMT is proven to be a crucial technique to investigate 3D internal structures of fine-grained materials at high-resolution. A relationship between LPO, SPO, and elastic anisotropy of the Qusaiba Shale from the Rub'al-Khali basin in Saudi Arabia is established in Chapter 5. The Qusaiba samples exhibit strong LPO of clay minerals (2.4-6.8 m.r.d.) due to their high total clay content and high degree of compaction. The SPO of pores, fractures, and kerogen here are also anisotropic and organized mainly parallel to bedding, with little connectivity of the flat pores normal to the bedding. The microscopic information (LPO) extracted from different synchrotron X-ray techniques is then applied in different averaging approaches (Voigt, Reuss, Hill, and Geometric mean) to calculate macroscopic properties of shales. A comparison of calculated elastic properties (Vp(max)=6.2 km/s, Vp(max)=5.5 km/s, and Vp ani.% =12%) with ultrasonic measurements (Vp(max)=5.3 km/s, Vp(max)=4.1 km/s, and Vp ani.% =27%) suggests some discrepancy as the distribution of kerogen and the orientation of the microfracture and porosity network are not included in the averaging model. These features reduce the strength of the matrix, enhancing the elastic anisotropy. Through linking the matrix and porosity components, a more comprehensive model of shale elastic properties is thus necessary for a further study." @default.
