Abstract

Aiming to evaluate the influence of pre-existing nuclei on the clinopyroxene crystallization kinetics, time-series experiments were performed using both natural and vitrified starting materials. Experiments were carried out at pressure of 0.8 GPa, temperatures between 1220 and 1250 °C, and dwell times ranging from 0.16 to 12 h. Clinopyroxene growth rates of the runs performed using the natural starting material containing pre-existing nuclei (~2 × 10−7 to ~6 × 10−8 cm∙s−1) are higher than those of the runs performed using the vitrified one (~3 × 10−7 to ~2 × 10−8 cm∙s−1). In both cases the growth rates decrease with increasing time. Conversely, clinopyroxene nucleation rates are lower in the experiments performed using the natural powder (102 and 10 mm−3 s−1) compared to those performed with the glassy starting material (105 and 103 mm−3∙s−1). The nucleation rates tend to decrease increasing dwell time in all the series up to ~3 h, after which it remains nearly constant. Finally, the combination of the obtained clinopyroxene growth rates with the crystal size analysis of natural clinopyroxenes, allowed to estimate the magma ascent rate and the recharge rate of the Campi Flegrei Volcanic District deep reservoir.
