Unravelling the incorporation mechanisms of water in aluminous orthoenstatite: I. First-principles calculations
2024
Overview
We performed first-principles calculations on the energy, and NMR and polarized infrared (IR) spectra for anhydrous and hydrous aluminous orthoenstatite (OEn) models to help clarify the incorporation mechanisms of Al and OH defects in OEn. Our calculations revealed that proton pairs in M2 vacancies ((2H)
M2
) adjacent to a tetrahedral Al (Al
IV
) are energetically more favorable than those remote from Al, and may contribute to the observed correlated
