The influence of water and stress on the lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine
aggregates was investigated through large strain, shear deformation experiments at high …

Water, dissolved as hydroxyl (OH)− into the solid silicate minerals of the upper mantle can
reduce adiabatic wave speeds through associated defects. Here we report Brillouin …

Recrystallized grain-size versus stress relationship for olivine has been determined under
water-poor and water-rich conditions. We found that when the water content in olivine …

The effects of pressure on crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of olivine aggregates
were investigated through simple-shear deformation experiments at pressures between 2.1 …

Tectonic plate motion is thought to cause solid-state plastic flow within the underlying upper
mantle and accordingly lead to the development of a lattice preferred orientation of the …

Seismic anisotropy in the mantle is primarily due to deformation‐induced lattice preferred
orientation (LPO) of olivine crystals. The aim of this paper is to better understand how such …

Anisotropy of upper mantle physical properties results from lattice preferred orientation
(LPO) of upper mantle minerals, in particular olivine. We use an anisotropic viscoplastic self …

Simple shear deformation of synthetic olivine aggregates to high strains shows that dynamic
recrystallisation has strong effects on the mechanical behaviour and the development of …

Because seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle is due primarily to lattice preferred
orientation (LPO) of olivine crystals induced by deformation, observations of anisotropy can …

REGIONS of the Earth's upper mantle show significant seismic ani-sotropy due to the
preferred crystallographic orientation ('lattice preferred orientation') adopted by its …
