Synopsis:
A single-crystal neutron diffraction study was performed on hydrogen in ringwoodite, which is the most important host mineral of water in the Earth's deep mantle. Its hydrogen incorporation mechanism, bonding geometry and occupancy at the relevant hydrogen site were unambiguously revealed.

Abstract:
Ringwoodite [(Mg,Fe2+)2SiO4 spinel] has been considered as one of the most important host minerals of water in the Earth’s deep mantle. Its extensive hydration was observed in high-pressure synthesis experiments and also by its natural occurrence. Water can dissolve into ringwoodite as structurally bound hydrogen cations by substituting other cations, although the hydrogen site and its occupancy remain unclear. In this study, neutron time-of-flight single-crystal Laue diffraction analysis was carried out for synthetic hydrous ringwoodite. Hydrogen cations were found only in the sites in MgO6 octahedra in the ringwoodite structure, which compensated the reduced occupancies of both magnesium and silicon cations. The refined cation occupancies suggest that the most plausible hydration mechanism is that three hydrogen cations simultaneously occupy an MgO6 octahedron, whereas four such hydrogenated octahedra surround a vacant SiO4 tetrahedron.
