Possibility of gradual spin transition in Fe2+ at the A site
At high temperature…
• All configurations with different transition pressures should appear locally.
• Fe planes (conf. 10) with different sizes should exist locally. The larger (smaller) size of Fe plane gives the lower (higher) spin transition pressure.

Summary• FexMg1-xSiO3 shows tendency to display atomic and magnetic (AF
M) order at 0 K. This tendency decreases with temperature.
• Spin transition in Fe2+ occurs at 0 K in the pressure range found e
xperimentally, i.e., at lower mantle pressures. At high temperature,
this transition should be broad and pass through mixed spins states
.
• In highly-ordered structures, where Fe‘s are close to each other a
nd they are on the (110) plane, the spin transition pressure is the lo
west. This is consistent with the transition pressure dependence on
Fe concentration.
• In the LS state, electronic structure of Fe at the A site becomes si
milar to that of Fe at the octahedron (t2g and eg-derived states) with
a large gap.
