“…A persistent feature for all spectra is the asymmetry of quadruple doublets, namely, the unequal amplitude and width for the two components of M2 doublet. This feature was also observed in previous studies on orthopyroxene (Virgo and Hafner, 1969;Burnham et al, 1971;Saxena and Ghose, 1971;Anovitz et al, 1988;Domeneghetti and Steffen, 1992;Angel et al, 1998). There are three known causes for such asymmetry.…”
