Résumé

Silicate perovskite, with the mineral name bridgmanite, is the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s lower mantle. We investigated crystal structures and equations of state of two perovskite-type Fe 3+ -rich phases, FeMg 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 and Fe 0.5 Mg 0.5 Al 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 , at high pressures, employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction and synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy. We solved their crystal structures at high pressures and found that the FeMg 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 phase adopts a novel monoclinic double-perovskite structure with the space group of P21/n at pressures above 12 GPa, whereas the Fe 0.5 Mg 0.5 Al 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 phase adopts an orthorhombic perovskite structure with the space group of Pnma at pressures above 8 GPa. The pressure induces an iron spin transition for Fe 3+ in a (Fe 0.7 ,Mg 0.3 )O 6 octahedral site of the FeMg 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 phase at pressures higher than 40 GPa. No iron spin transition was observed for the Fe 0.5 Mg 0.5 Al 0.5 Si 0.5 O 3 phase as all Fe 3+ ions are located in bicapped prism sites, which have larger volumes than an octahedral site of (Al 0.5 ,Si 0.5 )O 6 .
