Iron-rich silicates in the Earth's D'' layer.
High-pressure experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrate that an iron-rich ferromagnesian silicate phase can be synthesized at the pressure-temperature conditions near the core-mantle boundary. The iron-rich phase is up to 20% denser than any known silicate at the core-mantle boundary. The high mean atomic number of the silicate greatly reduces the seismic velocity and provides an exp...
متن کاملFerromagnesian postperovskite silicates in the D'' layer of the Earth.
Natural olivine with 12 mol % Fe(2)SiO(4) and synthetic orthopyroxenes with 20% and 40% FeSiO(3) were studied beyond the pressure-temperature conditions of the core-mantle boundary. All samples were found to convert entirely or partially into the CaIrO(3) postperovskite structure, which was recently reported for pure MgSiO(3). The incorporation of Fe greatly reduces the pressure needed for the ...
متن کاملCrystal chemistry of silica - rich barium silicates II : Electron microscopy of barium silicates containing multiple chains
The phases containing multiple chains in the series Ba",+1[Si2mOsm+d those with triple (m = 3), quadruple (m = 4) and quintuple (m = 5) tetrahedral chains were investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The resulting images could be correlated with the structures. Variations of the chain multiplicity (m) within single crystals were observed as well as faults in the packin...
متن کاملOptimal measures for characterizing water-rich super-Earths
The detection and atmospheric characterization of super-Earths is one of the major frontiers of exoplanetary science. Currently, extensive efforts are underway to detect molecules, particularly H2O, in super-Earth atmospheres. In the present work, we develop a systematic set of strategies to identify and observe potentially H2O-rich super-Earths that provide the best prospects for characterizin...
متن کاملSilicates in D - type symbiotic stars : an ISO overview
We investigate the IR spectral features of a sample of D-type symbiotic stars in order to constrain the emitting properties of coupled dust-gas particles across the whole system. In particular, analyzing unexploited ISO-SWS data, deriving the basic observational parameters of dust bands, and comparing them with respect to those observed in other astronomical sources, we try to highlight the eff...
