Influence of the iron spin crossover in ferropericlase on the lower mantle geotherm
Juan J. Valencia-Cardona, Gaurav Shukla, Zhongqing Wu +3
The iron spin crossover in ferropericlase introduces anomalies in its thermodynamics and thermoelastic properties. Here we investigate how these anomalies can affect the lower mant…
Spin crossover in (Mg,Fe)(Si,Fe)O bridgmanite: effects of disorder, iron concentration, and temperature
Gaurav Shukla, Renata M. Wentzcovitch
The spin crossover of iron in Fe-bearing bridgmanite, the most abundant mineral of the Earth's lower mantle, is by now a well-established phenomenon, though several aspects…
Thermoelasticity of Fe- and Al-bearing bridgmanite
Gaurav Shukla, Matteo Cococcioni, Renata M. Wentzcovitch
We report \textit{ab initio} (LDA + U) calculations of thermoelastic properties of ferric iron (Fe)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing bridgmanite (MgSiO perovskite), the…
