Mixed-layer minerals were analyzed by far infrared (FIR) spectrometry. The FIR spectra show two bands, which occur at 8487 and 108114 cm1 for mixed-layer illite-smectite (I-S) and at 7179 and 103 cm1 for mixed-layer phlogopite/vermiculite (P-V). The 103 cm1 band seen in the P-V series from Palabora is independent of K+ content and is attributed to lattice vibrations. The lower wavenumber band observed at 85 cm1 for I-S mixed-layers and 7173 cm1 for P-V mixed-layers corresponds to K+ fixed in the two-layer stacking sequences. This low wavenumber band shifts to higher wavenumbers as the thickness of coherent scattering domains increases: shifting toward 97 cm1 for the illite end-member of the I-S series and to 79 cm1 for Palabora phlogopite, the end-member of the P-V series.
