Abstract
The electronic state change of wadsleyite with Fe2+ is investigated by the first-principles calculation technique. The electron orbitals in the Mg2SiO4 wadsleyite are distributed only around the oxygen atoms. On the other hand, those in the (Mg0.5Fe1.5)SiO4 wadsleyite are localized at the Fe and O3 atoms, which forms an antibonding orbital between the Fe and O3 atoms. The antibonding orbital would make it impossible to emerge the Fe-wadsleyite phase.
