Popis: | The interatomic potential method in an ionic approximation was used to model the protonation of forsterite crystals. The formation of isolated OH− groups in iron-free and iron-bearing crystals and neutral clusters of protonated cation vacancies was considered. It was shown that the presence of trivalent impurities may significantly facilitate protonation processes owing to their reduction to a divalent state or formation of clusters with cation vacancies. In most cases, charge balancing of hydrogen-bearing defects by magnesium vacancies is energetically favorable over that involving silicon vacancies. |
