The transport of hydrogen into Earth's deep interior may have an impact on lower mantle dynamics as well as on the seismic signature of subducted material. Due to the stability of the hydrous phases δ-AlOOH (delta phase), MgSiO2(OH)2 (phase H), and ε-FeOOH at high temperatures and pressures, their solid solutions may transport significant amounts of hydrogen as deep as the core-mantle boundary. Here we have constrained the equation of state, including the effects of a spin crossover in the Fe3+ atoms, of (Al, Fe)-phase H: Al0.84Fe3+ 0.07Mg0.02Si0.06OOH, using powder X-ray diffraction measurements to 125 GPa, supported by synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements on (Al, Fe)-phase H and δ-(Al, Fe)OOH. The changes in spin state of Fe3+ in (Al, Fe)-phase H results in a significant decrease in bulk sound velocity and occurs over a different pressure range (48–62 GPa) compared with δ-(Al, Fe)OOH (32–40 GPa). Changes in axial compressibilities indicate a decrease in the compressibility of hydrogen bonds in (Al, Fe)-phase H near 30 GPa, which may be associated with hydrogen bond symmetrization. The formation of (Al, Fe)-phase H in subducted oceanic crust may contribute to scattering of seismic waves in the mid-lower mantle (~1,100–1,550 km). Accumulation of 1–4 wt.% (Al, Fe)-phase H could reproduce some of the seismic signatures of large, low seismic-velocity provinces. Our results suggest that changes in the electronic structure of phases in the (δ-AlOOH)-(MgSiO2(OH)2)-(ε-FeOOH) solid solution are sensitive to composition and that the presence of these phases in subducted oceanic crust could be seismically detectable throughout the lower mantle.
