Three single-crystals of magnesium silicate perovskite with differing chemical compositions have been studied by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction in diamond anvil cells with He as pressure transmitting medium from room pressure up to 75 GPa. In addition to the end-member MgSiO3 composition, a perovskite containing 4 mol% of the Fe2+SiO3 component [(Mg,Fe)SiO3] and one containing 37 mol% of an Fe3+AlO3 component [(Mg,Fe)(Al,Si)SiO3] were investigated. The high-quality of the collected data allows a detailed examination of the effect of different chemical substitutions on the compression mechanism of perovskite and on its equation of state (EoS). The bulk modulus and first pressure derivative determined for MgSiO3 perovskite obtained by fitting a 3rd-order Birch-Murnaghan are found to be quite insensitive to the maximum pressure to which the data are fitted. The EoS parameters obtained by fitting data from room pressure to 10,40 or 75 GPa are almost identical. This is not the case, however, for either (Mg,Fe)SiO3 or (Mg,Fe)(Al,Si)SiO3 perovskites, for which volumes calculated from an EoS obtained from fitting data up to 40 GPa deviate from the experimental data above 40 GPa. In the case of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite this deviation appears to be related to a change in octahedral tilting during compression, as revealed by analysis of the lattice strain variation with pressure. The tilting change is a likely consequence of a high-spin to intermediate spin transition of Fe2+ but the effect on the density and bulk modulus is almost negligible and unlikely to cause seismically observable changes in the mantle. In the case of (Mg,Fe)(Al,Si)SiO3 perovskite, the deviation is clearly due to a change in the compressibility of the c-axis and no evidence for effects due to a change in Fe spin state is observed. Substitution of Fe2+SiO3 has a significant negative effect on the bulk sound velocity while increasing density, whereas the effect of Fe3+AlO3 substitution on both the bulk sound velocity and density are in the same direction but more modest. The latter substitution may, therefore, be more compatible with some aspects of seismic anomalies observed at the base of the lower mantle. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
