We thank Y. Ohishi at Spring-8 for his help in the X-ray diffraction experiments, and J.F. Lin for discussion. Comments by K. Hirose and an anonymous reviewer improved the manuscript. This work was supported by the Grant-in-Aid (No. 21540491) by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). The X-ray emission spectroscopy experiments were performed under the approvals of NSRRC (Proposal No. 2008-3-032-5 and 2008-3-032-6) and JASRI (No. 2009B4267 and 2010A4251), while the X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out under the approval of JASRI (No. 2009B1080 and 2010A1545).

N2 - The spin transition and substitution of Fe3+ in Mg0.85Fe3+0.15Al0.15Si0.85O3 post-Mg-perovskite (PPv) synthesized at 165-170GPa, 2100K were examined by X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) during decompression to 37GPa without annealing. XRD showed that samples were single phase PPv down to 49GPa, although the samples may have partly become amorphous. The result of XES measurement indicates that Fe3+ is fully low spin (LS) for 165-100GPa and Fe3+ largely changes from LS to high spin (HS) between 80 and ∼40GPa. These results combined with previous reports indicate that Al and LS Fe3+ may occupy the A-(dodecahedral) and B-(octahedral) sites, respectively, as the favorable cation sites for 165-100GPa in Al-bearing PPv. Based on the present results on Fe3+ and recent theoretical reports on Fe2+, the spin states of iron in lower mantle PPv are discussed.
