Abstract
We use atomistic computer simulation techniques to investigate the site partitioning of iron in (Mg,Fe)SiO_{3} perovskites. Our calculations predict that the most energetically favourable reaction for iron substitution will be a direct exchange of Fe^{2+} for Mg^{2+}. Substitution of Fe into the octahedral site and Si into the 8–12 fold coordinated site, as proposed by Jackson et al. [1987], is predicted to be extremely unlikely.
