The thermoelastic properties of post-perovskite analogue phases

Post-perovskite MgSiO3 is a major component of the D'' zone at the base of the lower mantle, so knowledge of its physical properties is essential to understanding mantle dynamics. Unfortunately, MgSiO3 post-perovskite is stable only at Mbar pressures. This difficulty can be addressed by co...
