Abstract The inner core, extending to 1,221 km above the Earth’s center at pressures between 329 and 364 GPa, is primarily composed of solid iron. Its rheological properties influence both rotation deformation core which a potential source observed seismic anisotropy. However, rheology poorly understood. We propose mineral physics approach based on density functional theory infer viscosity hexagonal close packed (hcp) iron pressure ( P ) temperature T ). As plastic rate-limited by atomic...

Abstract Polycrystalline (Mg,Fe)O ferropericlase is the second most abundant mantle constituent of Earth and possibly super‐Earth exoplanets. Its mechanical behavior expected to accommodate substantial plastic deformation in Earth's lower mantle. While bulk properties have been extensively studied, thermodynamics grain boundaries their role on response remain largely unexplored. Here, we use density functional theory calculations investigate {310}[001] boundary—a representative proxy for...

Deformation resulting from thermally activated plastic slip is modeled in Mg2SiO4 ringwoodite at 20 GPa for a wide range of temperatures. The model relies on the structures rate controlling 1/2〈110〉 screw dislocations which have been using Peierls–Nabarro–Galerkin method. These calculations are parametrized by density functional theory γ-surfaces {001},{110} and {111} planes. At finite temperatures, dislocation mobility controlled kink-pair nucleation 1/4〈110〉 partial as they occur...

The dynamics of the Earth's mantle is still poorly constrained due to lack understanding transfer matter between upper and lower their convective vigor. transition zone (TZ) might play a crucial role as interface connecting mantle. Here, we examine rheology main TZ minerals, wadsleyite, ringwoodite majorite garnet based on mineral physics approach. Using results lattice friction modeling dislocation glide mobilities together with available data self-diffusion in quantify plastic deformation...

Thermally activated dislocation glide in Mg2SiO4 wadsleyite at 15 GPa has been modeled to investigate its potential contribution plastic deformation of the Earth's transition zone. Modeling is based on a multiphysics approach that allows calculating constitutive equations associated with single slip for wide range temperatures and strain rates typical laboratory mantle.

Recent progress in theoretical mineral physics based on the ab initio quantum mechanical computation method has been dramatic conjunction with rapid advancement of computer technologies. It is now possible to predict stability, elasticity, and transport properties complex minerals quantitatively uncertainties that are comparable or even smaller than those attached experimental data. These calculations under situ high-pressure ( P) high-temperature conditions particular interest because they...

An elastic interaction model is presented to quantify low temperature plasticity of SrTiO3 via glide dissociated 〈1 1 0〉{1 0} screw dislocations. Because 0〉 dislocations are dissociated, their glide, controlled by the kink-pair mechanism at T < 1050 K, involves formation kink-pairs on partial dislocations, either simultaneously or sequentially. Our yields results in good quantitative agreement with observed non-monotonic mechanical behaviour SrTiO3. This allows explain experimental terms a...
