摘要
The wavelengths of nanometer-scale structural modulations in calcium-rich dolomite on the Latemar buildup, Dolomites, northern Italy vary as a function of composition, which is controlled by the temperature of dolomitizing fluids, and contact time with these fluids. Dolomites formed at the highest temperatures are the most magnesian and those formed at the lowest temperatures are the most calcian. The wavelengths of structural modulations, which are visible in brightfield and high-resolution transmission electron microscope images, increase with increasing temperature of formation. Long wavelength modulations are associated with more magnesium rich dolomite that formed at high temperatures.
