Ambient pressure Mössbauer spectra of Mg 0.9 57 Fe 0.1 SiO 3 perovskite synthesized at pressure‐temperature conditions of ∼50 GPa and 1700 K show that the iron is entirely high‐spin Fe 2+ and appears to be primarily located in the octahedral site within the crystal structure. We observe broad Mössbauer lines, suggesting a distribution of electric‐field gradients caused by disorder associated with the Fe ions. Also, the perovskite exhibits magnetic ordering at temperatures < 5 K, implying that there is a magnetic contribution to the absolute (“third‐law”) entropy of this phase.
