Popis: | The kinetic and equilibrium behaviour of the order parameter, Qod, of Al,Si ordering in anorthite has been compared with the results of current rate theories (Ising-type Glauber, Ising-type Kawasaki and Landau-type rate equations). Although all rate equations can be adjusted to fit the time evolution for an accessible small interval of Qod(t) between 0.76 and 0.88, significant systematic differences were found for the equilibrium behaviour Qod(T). Qod(T) is well described by Landau theory but not by Bragg-Williams equations. The rate laws are rather model-independent for Qod>0.76, but significant differences are expected for the ordering behaviour of crystals with smaller values of Qod (e.g. |
