The vibrational and thermodynamic properties of minerals are key to understanding the phase stability and the thermal structure of the Earth’s mantle. In this study, we modeled hydrous iron-bearing bridgmanite (Brg) and post-perovskite (PPv) with different [Fe3+-H] defect configurations using first-principles calculations combined with quasi-harmonic approximations (QHA). Fe3+-H configurations can be vibrationally stable in Brg and PPv; the site occupancy of this defect will strongly affect its thermodynamic properties and particularly its response to pressure. The presence of Fe3+-H introduces distinctive high-frequency vibrations to the crystal. The frequency of these peaks is configuration dependence. Of the two defect configurations, [FeSi′+OH·] makes large effects on the thermodynamic properties of Brg and PPv, whereas [VMg″+FeMg·+OH·] has negligible effects. With an expected lower mantle water concentrations of <1000 wt. ppm the effect of Fe3+-H clusters on properties such as heat capacity and thermal expansion is negligible, but the effect on the Grüneisen parameter γ can be significant (~1.2%). This may imply that even a small amount of water may affect the anharmonicity of Fe3+-bearing MgSiO3 in lower mantle conditions and that when calculating the adiabaticity of the mantle, water concentrations need to be considered.
