Effect of Spin Transitions in Iron on Structure and Properties of Mantle Minerals

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
High-Pressure Crystallography

Abstract

Abstract Iron is an important element in Earth lower mantle minerals. At conditions of the deep Earth’s interior iron ions could undergo high-to-low spin crossover. We discuss evolution of the spin state of iron in ferropericlase (Mg,Fe)O, silicate perovskite and garnet (Mg,Fe)SiO3 at high pressures and temperatures.
