“…Bridgmanite is stabilized in the pressure range 23–125 GPa (e.g., Ishii et al., 2018; Murakami et al., 2004) and is the dominant mineral in Earth (e.g., Irifune & Ringwood, 1987a, 1987b). It can incorporate large amounts of trivalent elements such as Al 3+ and Fe 3+ in its crystal structure (e.g., Andrault et al., 1998; McCammon, 1997; Navrotsky, 1999; Navrotsky et al., 2003; Shim et al., 2017) by the formation of XXO 3 and MgXO 2.5 components (X is Fe 3+ or Al 3+ ) via charge‐coupled and oxygen‐vacancy mechanisms, respectively (e.g., Huang, Boffa‐Ballaran, McCammon, Miyajima, Dolejš & Frost, 2021; Huang, Boffa‐Ballaran, McCammon, Miyajima, & Frost, 2021; Lauterbach et al., 2000; Liu, Akaogi, & Katsura, 2019; Liu, Ishii, & Katsura, 2017; Liu, Boffa‐Ballaran, et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2020; Navrotsky, 1999; Navrotsky et al., 2003; Nishio‐Hamane et al., 2005, 2008; O'Neill & Jeanloiz, 1994). The different substitution mechanisms thus produce different types of defect species.…”
