Low-spin ferric iron in primordial bridgmanite crystallized from a deep magma ocean

Abstract The crystallization of the magma ocean resulted in the present layered structure of the Earth’s mantle. An open question is the electronic spin state of iron in bridgmanite (the most abundant mineral on Earth) crystallized from a deep magma ocean, which has been neglected in the crystalliza...
