Phase transformations in mantle mineralogies probably cause the transition zone seismic
discontinuities, nominally at 410, 520, and 660 km depth. Thermodynamic principles govern …

This research has been motivated by geophysics and materials physics. The objective of this
research has been to advance materials theory and computations for high pressure and …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

We stack long‐period, transverse‐component seismograms recorded by the Global Digital
Seismograph Network (GDSN)(1976–1996), Incorporated Research Institutions for …

We compare the predictions of compositional models of the mantle transition zone to
observed seismic properties by constructing phase diagrams in the MgO‐FeO‐CaO‐Al2O3 …

The availability of precise determinations of unit cell volumes of mantle minerals as functions
of both pressure and temperature through synchotron-based X-ray diffraction has motivated …

Single-crystal elastic properties of hydrous ringwoodite are reported for samples that were
synthesized at 19 GPa and 1300° C. The Mg/Si ratio is determined to be∼ 1.95 by EPMA …

The seismic structure of the Tonga‐Hawaii corridor has been investigated by combining two
data sets: Revenaugh and Jordan's reflectivity profile from ScS reverberations, which …

The recent increasing number of experimental works leads us to review the elastic
properties and mineralogical transformations of mantle minerals. The updated data set is …

The transition zone of Earth's mantle is delineated by globally observed discontinuities in
seismic properties at depths of about 410 and 660 kilometers. Here, we investigate the …
