A computational study of magnesium point defects and diffusion in forsterite

We have studied the formation and migration of point defects within the magnesium sub-lattice inforsterite using a combination of empirical and quantum mechanical modelling methodologies. Empiricalmodels based on a parameterised force field coupled to a high throughput grid computing infrastructurea...
