“…Thanks to the molecular modeling method, some geological researchers have attempted to illustrate the crystal structure, electronic structure, magnetic property of siderite at lower mantle conditions [15,16]. Badaut et al [13] investigated the structural, electronic, and elastic properties of FeCO 3 at ambient conditions by DFT calculations. With the help of first-principles calculations with GGA, Shi et al [15] described the pressure-induced magnetic phase transition, electronic structure of FeCO 3 , as well as geometrical structure.…”
