Pressure-stabilized divalent ozonide CaO3 and its impact on Earth’s oxygen cycles
Calcium and oxygen are abundant elements in the Earth’s mantle, largely present as calcium oxide. Here the authors show, by experiments and computations, that calcium ozonide (CaO3) is stabilized at the high pressures and temperatures characteristic of the lower mantle, with implications for the dee...
