Coupled (Li+, Al3+) substitutions in hydrous forsterite

Atomistic computer simulations methods are used to examine the influence of Li and Al impurities on the uptake of hydrogen in forsterite. We find that Li'Mg+OH•O is more stable at the Mg1 site than at the Mg2 site and that Li+ increases the ability of forsterite to incorporate hydrogen associat...
