We have critically reviewed and discussed currently available information regarding the spin
and valence states of iron in lower mantle minerals and the associated effects of the spin …

Silicate perovskite-type phases are the most abundant constituent inside our planet and are
the predominant minerals in Earth's lower mantle more than 660 kilometers below the …

Meteorites exposed to high pressures and temperatures during impact-induced shock often
contain minerals whose occurrence and stability normally confine them to the deeper …

The chemical composition of Earth's lower mantle can be constrained by combining
seismological observations with mineral physics elasticity measurements,,. However, the …

Trivalent cations such as Al 3+ and Fe 3+ can be incorporated into the crystal structure of
bridgmanite either by the charge-coupled mechanism forming the FeFeO 3, AlAlO 3, and …

Bridgmanite, MgSiO3 with perovskite structure, is considered the most abundant mineral on
Earth. On the lower mantle, it contains Fe and Al that strongly influence its behavior …

Complex seismic, thermal, and chemical features have been reported in Earth's lowermost
mantle. In particular, possible iron enrichments in the large low shear‐wave velocity …

We present local density approximation augmented by the Hubbard‐type correction
calculations of high‐temperature elastic properties of bridgmanite with composition for …

Fast detectors employed at third-generation synchrotrons have reduced collection times
significantly and require the optimization of commercial as well as customized software …

Modelling of processes involving deep Earth liquids requires information on their structures
and compression mechanisms. However, knowledge of the local structures of silicates and …
