Incorporation of Y and REEs in aluminosilicate garnet: Energetics from atomistic simulation
Yttrium and the rare-earth elements (Y+REEs) are incorporated into aluminosilicate garnet as trivalent ions replacing divalent Mg, Fe, Mn, or Ca (“M2+”) in dodecahedral sites, which requires some form of coupled substitution to maintain electroneutrality. We compare the energetic costs of competing...
