First-principles calculations of equilibrium silicon isotope fractionation in metamorphic silicate minerals

In this study, silicon isotope fractionation factors for metamorphic silicate including muscovite, epidote, and kyanite are calculated using first-principles methods based on density-functional theory. The reduced partition function ratio (103lnβ) of 30Si/28Si decreases in the order of muscovite >...
