Abstract/NotesAbstractTime-of-flight neutron powder diffraction has been employed to determine precise occupancies of the M1 and M2 metal cation sites in synthetic olivines of compositions (Fe0.3Mn0.7)2SiO4, (Fe0.5Mn0.5)2−SiO4, and (Fe0.7Mn0.3)2SiO4. The distribution coefficient for Fe-Mn exchange in these samples has values of 4.864, 3.976, and 4.078, reflecting the preference of Mn2+ for the M2 site, over Fe2+. These results, and the behaviour of the difference in mean bond lengths of the two sites, indicate that, while showing a tendency towards ordering, the composition-dependence of the solid solution is near ideal.
