Elemental abundances in meteoritic and terrestrial matter

Major and trace element analyses of over 180 individual chondrules from 12 carbonaceous chondrites are reported, including individual analyses of 60 chondrules from Pueblito de Allende. Siderophile elements in most chondrules are depleted, compared to the whole chondrite. Correlations of Al-Ir and Ir-Sc among chondrules high in Ca and Al were observed. A Cu-Mn correlation was also found for chondrules from some meteorites. No correlation was observed between Au and other siderophile elements (Fe, Ni, Co and Ir). It is suggested that these elemental associations were present in the material from which the chondrules formed. Compositionally, chondrules appear to be a multicomponent mixture of remelted dust. One component displaying an Al-Ir correlation is identified as Allende-type white aggregates. The other components are a material chemically similar to the present matrix and sulfides-plus-metal material. Abundances of the REE (rare earth elements) were measured in ordinary Allende chondrules and were 50% higher than REE abundances in Mokoia chondrules; REE abundances in Ca-Al rich chondrules were similar to REE abundances in Ca-rich white aggregates.

Materials Data on MnCu3 by Materials Project

Cu3Mn is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu atoms to form MnCu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MnCu12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent MnCu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra. All Mn–Cu bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Cu is bonded to four equivalent Mn and eight equivalent Cu atoms to form CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnCu12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MnCu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnCu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent CuMn4Cu8 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.59 Å) and two longer (2.61 Å) Cu–Cu bond lengths.
