Do 800C metamiktni uzorci allanita djelomično rekristaliziraju u kristalnu strukturu allanita, no kod jače metamiktnih uzoraka već na ovoj temperaturi dolazi do pojavljivanja novih faza, cerijanita i hematita. Zbog oksidacije Fe2+ i Ce3+, te posljedično otpuštanja OHaniona, u danim uvjetima, nemoguće je ostvariti potpunu rekristalizaciju, a na višim temperaturama (> 900C) kristalna struktura allanita se u potpunosti raspada na jednostavnije okside (cerijanit, hematit), fosfate (britholit) i silikate (anortit). Iz tog razloga su odabrani uzorci hidrotermalno tretirani na nižim (150 -250C), te višim (400-800C) temperaturama na kojima dolazi do potpune rekristalizacije metamiknih uzoraka allanita, neovisno o stupnju metamiktnosti, bez pojave dodatnih faza. Jedan uzorak allanita je podvrgnut bombardiranju neutronima radi rušenja kristalne strukture, što je djelomično uspješno izvršeno. Svi procesi su praćeni difrakcijom rentgenskih zraka na prahu, visokorazlučujućom transimisijskom elektronskom mikroskopijom, te elektronskom difrakcijom, IR, Raman i Mössbauer spektroskopijom te termičkim metodama.- Recrystallization of allanite with different degrees of metamictization is induced by annealing of samples in air, inert and reductive atmosphere at chosen temperatures. Up to 800C metamict samples of allanite partially recrystallize to allanite crystal structure, but with heavily metamictized samples, already at these temperatures, new phases such as cerianite and hematite, occur. It is impossible to accomplish complete recrystallization in these conditions due to oxidation of Fe2+ and Ce3+, and escape of OHanion from the structure, and at higher temperatures (> 900C), allanite crystal structure breaks down to a mixture of simple oxides (cerianite an hematite), phosphate (britholite) and silicate (anorthite). Thus, chosen samples were hydrothermally treated at lower (150 -250C), and higher (400-800C) temperatures when complete recrystallization, without additional phases and regardless of the degree of metamictization, occurs. One allanite sample was bombarded with neutron flux, in order to destroy its crystal structure, what was partially accomplished. All processes were monitored by X-ray powder diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy coupled with electron diffraction, IR, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, and thermal methods.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
