Letter. Forsterite, wadsleyite, and ringwoodite (Mg2SiO4): 29Si NMR constraints on structural disorder and effects of paramagnetic impurity ions
Abstract
We present here high-resolution 29Si MAS NMR data for synthetic samples of forsterite (α-Mg2SiO4), wadsleyite (β), and ringwoodite (γ). Enrichment to >99% 29Si provides greatly enhanced signal-tonoise ratios and thus great sensitivity to small features in the spectra. At a detection limit of 0.1 to 0.5%, no six-coordinated Si (VISi) is observed in any of the polymorphs, although these results could be consistent with theoretical predications of 1 to 2% Mg-Si site disorder in ringwoodite if re-ordering occurs rapidly during cooling. Several small IVSi peaks in ringwoodite samples may be related to residual defects from this process. In forsterite and wadsleyite, several very small “extra” peaks are observed, many of which are at positions far outside the known range of chemical shifts for 29Si in silicates. These may be caused by “pseudo-contact” shifts from dipolar interactions with unpaired electron spins on trace impurities of paramagnetic transition metal cations.
