Thermal conductivity of MgO, MgSiO3 perovskite and post-perovskite in the Earth's deep mantle

Volker Haigis, Mathieu Salanne, Sandro Jahn

We report lattice thermal conductivities of MgO and MgSiO3 in the perovskite and post-perovskite structures at conditions of the Earth's lower mantle, obtained from equilibrium mol…
