Abstract

Based on the data of atomic modeling, the different schemes of isomorphic incorporation of Cr3+ ions into the crystal structures of CaSiO3 and MgSiO3 were tested in the pressure range of 18–25 GPa and at temperatures of 1873–2223 K. Under these PT parameters, the content of Cr3+ in these structures was estimated quantitatively. The semi-empirical simulation data are in good agreement with the results of experiments.
