A detailed knowledge of crystal structures and phase-transition mechanisms in these minerals is, therefore, of great geophysical importance in understanding planetary interiors. The first crystal structure investigation of a pyroxene was reported by Warren and Bragg (1928) who solved the monoclinic C2/c diopside structure. Warren and Modell (1930) solved the structure of orthorhombic Pbca hypersthene, and the monoclinic P21/c pyroxene was predicted by Ito (1950), who postulated that Pbca...
