Spin and valence states of iron in (Mg[subscript 0.8]Fe[subscript 0.2])SiO[subscript 3] perovskite

The spin and valence states of iron in (Mg0.8Fe0.2)SiO3 perovskite were measured between 0 and 65 GPa using synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy. Samples were synthesized in situ in the laser-heated diamond cell under reducing conditions. The dominant spin state of iron in perovskite is high spin at p...
