This project investigates the properties of aluminum-bearing stishovite, a mineral found in subducted oceanic crust, under extreme conditions. By examining its elastic properties and phase transitions, the research aims to enhance understanding of seismic activity in the Earth's lower mantle.
Al-bearing stishovite is considered to be the main H2O-bearing silicate phase present in recycled subducted oceanic crust (i.e. eclogite) at uppermost lower mantle conditions, equivalent to >660 km mantle depths, and pressures above 23 GPa, where it can form 25% of the bulk.
The incorporation of Al into stishovite leads to significant changes to its phase diagram and its ability to take up H2O.
For instance, it halves the pressure required for its rutile- to CaCl2-type transformation, which exhi…
