摘要: 氟碳铈矿是一种稀少的宝石品种, 为稀土氟碳酸盐矿物,可具有变色效应。采用电子探针、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪、激光拉曼光谱仪及紫外-可见分光光度计测试了变色氟碳铈矿样品的化学成分及谱学特征,并对其颜色及变色效应进行了探究。结果表明,氟碳铈矿样品中主要稀土元素阳离子有Ce3+、La3+、Nd3+、Pr3+和Sm3+,2颗氟碳铈矿样品的化学式分别为(Ce0.50La0.27Nd0.16Pr0.05Sm0.02)(CO3)F和(Ce0.47La0.24Nd0.20Pr0.05Sm0.03)(CO3)F;中红外光谱吸收峰主要由CO32-的振动引起,近红外光谱的吸收峰与CO32-、Pr3+、Nd3+和Sm3+有关;拉曼光谱的吸收峰主要与CO32-的振动以及晶格中的F-有关;紫外-可见吸收光谱的大部分吸收峰由Nd3+的4f-4f电子跃迁导致。结合电子探针分析结果,氟碳铈矿的颜色由Nd3+引起。根据576,740 nm附近两个透过率几乎相等的强吸收峰推断,氟碳铈矿的变色效应也是由Nd3+引起。Abstract: Bastnäsite(Ce), a cerium-dominant rare-earth element fluorocarbonate, is a rare gemstone which could display alexandrite effect. In this paper, the authors studied the chemical compositions and spectral characteristics of bastnäsite samples by means of electron microprobe, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The results of electron microprobe indicated that Ce、La、Nd、Pr and Sm are the main rare-earth elements in bastnäsite. The structural formulas calculated by the electron microprobe data of two samples are (Ce0.50La0.27Nd0.16Pr0.05Sm0.02)(CO3)F and (Ce0.47La0.24Nd0.20Pr0.05Sm0.03)(CO3)F respectively. The middle-infrared bands are assigned to the different vibrations of CO32- and the near-infrared bands are associated with CO32-, Pr3+, Nd3+or Sm3+. Raman bands are associated with various CO32- vibrations and lattice modes involving F-. The results of UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy showed that most of the bands are induced by 4f-4f electronic transition of Nd3+. Based on the results of electron microprobe analysis, it is considered that the colour of bastnäsite is produced by Nd3+. Since the two strong absorption peaks near 576 nm and 740 nm have approximately equal transmission rate, it is inferred that the alexandrite effect of bastnäsite is caused by Nd3+.
