Constraints on Mantle Electrical Conductivity from Field and Laboratory Measurements
A global geomagnetic response function, sensitive to the average radial electrical conductivity structure of Earth’s mantle to depths of at least 1800 km, is obtained by averaging published, single-site response functions estimated at periods between 10 – 10 seconds from magnetic observatory records. Although the error bars on the global response function are mostly smaller than 5%, Parker’s D ...
متن کاملLower mantle tomography and phase change mapping
[1] A lower mantle S wave triplication (Scd) has been recognized for many years and appears to be explained by the recently discovered perovskite (PV) to postperovskite (PPV) phase change. Seismic observations of Scd display (1) rapid changes in strength and timing relative to S and ScS and (2) early arrivals beneath fast lower mantle regions. While the latter feature can be explained by a Clap...
متن کاملWater and the Electrical Conductivity of the Lunar Mantle
Introduction. The electrical conductivity of minerals increases with temperature and impurity content [e.g., 1]. Aluminum in orthopyroxene is one such impurity that has been invoked to fit the electrical conductivity of the deep interior of the Moon while maintaining subsolidus temperatures [2-4]. However, the required bulk alumina abundance in pyroxene is comparable to that inferred for the en...
متن کاملElectrical conductivity imaging by magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT).
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a recently developed imaging technique that combines MRI and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). In MREIT, cross-sectional electrical conductivity images are reconstructed from the internal magnetic field density data produced inside an electrically conducting subject when an electrical current is injected into the subject. In thi...
متن کاملElectrostatic Forces between Clay and Cations as Calculated and Inferred from Electrical Conductivity*
EQUrW~E~-~ conductivities of adsorbed cations were determined in clays saturated with Na +, Cs +, Ca ++ and with mixtures of these cations. Measurements were also made on Ca ++ clays which had been forced by previous drying into bundles of platelets or tactoids. The average mobili ty of adsorbed Ca ++ and Cs + is much lower than t ha t of adsorbed Na +. I t was concluded t ha t the average mobi...
