摘要: We measured the spin state of iron in magnesium silicate perovskite (Mg0.9,Fe0.1)SiO3 at high pressure and found two electronic transitions occurring 70 gigapascals 120 gigapascals, corresponding to partial full electron pairing iron, respectively. The proportion low thus grows with depth, increasing transparency mantle infrared region, a maximum pressures consistent D″ layer above core-mantle boundary. resulting increase radiative thermal conductivity suggests existence nonconvecting layers lowermost mantle.
