Incorporation of water in iron-free ringwoodite: A first-principles study

The structures, infrared active OH stretching modes, and relative energies of OH-defects in ringwoodite(?-Mg2SiO4) have been studied by first-principles calculations based on density functionaltheory (DFT). Two types of fully protonated cationic defects in normal spinel were considered at 0and 20 GP...
