Iron partitioning in Earth's mantle: toward a deep lower mantle discontinuity.
We measured the spin state of iron in ferropericlase (Mg0.83Fe0.17)O at high pressure and found a high-spin to low-spin transition occurring in the 60- to 70-gigapascal pressure range, corresponding to depths of 2000 kilometers in Earth's lower mantle. This transition implies that the partition coefficient of iron between ferropericlase and magnesium silicate perovskite, the two main constituen...
متن کاملWhat have the Earths' Mantle & an Egyptian Mummy in Common?
This paper will start with an overview of the Manchester Visualization Centre (MVC), what we do, why we do it and who we do it to. The main elements of the paper will be to present four examples of our work: Visualization of Egyptian Mummy 1766, one of the Egyptian mummies belonging to the University Museum. We will explain what we did with the CT scan of this mummy, the special techniques that...
متن کاملDiamond formation in the deep lower mantle: a high-pressure reaction of MgCO3 and SiO2
Diamond is an evidence for carbon existing in the deep Earth. Some diamonds are considered to have originated at various depth ranges from the mantle transition zone to the lower mantle. These diamonds are expected to carry significant information about the deep Earth. Here, we determined the phase relations in the MgCO3-SiO2 system up to 152 GPa and 3,100 K using a double sided laser-heated di...
متن کاملStability of magnesiowustite in Earth's lower mantle.
Magnesiowüstite [(Mg,Fe)O] is the second most abundant mineral of Earth's lower mantle. Understanding its stability under lower mantle conditions is crucial for interpreting the physical and chemical properties of the whole Earth. Previous studies in an externally heated diamond anvil cell suggested that magnesiowüstites decompose into two components, Fe-rich and Mg-rich magnesiowüstites at 86 ...
متن کاملExtremely long transition phase of thermal convection in the mantle of massive super-Earths
Adiabatic compression is a key factor that exerts control over thermal convection in the compressible solid mantle of super-Earths. To discuss the effects of adiabatic compression, we present a numerical model of transient convection in the cooling mantle of a super-Earth that is ten times larger in size than the Earth. The calculations started with the shallow mantle that was hotter than expec...
