Title: Thermodynamic properties of $MgSiO_{3}$ at super-Earth mantle conditions

Abstract

Recent discoveries of terrestrial exoplanets distant from our solar system motivate laboratory experiments that provide insight into their formation and thermal evolution. Using laser-driven shock wave experiments, we constrain high-temperature and high-pressure adiabats and the equation of state of MgSiO₃ ,a dominant mantle constituent of terrestrial exoplanets. Critical to the development of a habitable exoplanet is the early thermal history, specifically the formation and freezing of the magma ocean and its role in enabling convection in the mantle and core. We measure the adiabatic sound speed and constrain the melt transition along the Hugoniot and find that the adiabats and melt boundary of silicate magmas are shallower than predicted. In conclusion, this suggests that small changes in the temperature of a super-Earth mantle would result in rapid melting and solidification of nearly the entire mantle.

X-ray Raman scattering study of MgSiO₃ glass at high pressure: Implication for triclustered MgSiO₃ melt in Earth's mantle

Journal Article Lee, Sung Keun ; Lin, Jung-Fu ; Cai, Yong Q ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Silicate melts at the top of the transition zone and the core-mantle boundary have significant influences on the dynamics and properties of Earth's interior. MgSiO{sub 3}-rich silicate melts were among the primary components of the magma ocean and thus played essential roles in the chemical differentiation of the early Earth. Diverse macroscopic properties of silicate melts in Earth's interior, such as density, viscosity, and crystal-melt partitioning, depend on their electronic and short-range local structures at high pressures and temperatures. Despite essential roles of silicate melts in many geophysical and geodynamic problems, little is known about their nature under the conditionsmore »« less

Phase transitions in MgSiO₃ post-perovskite in super-Earth mantles

Journal Article Umemoto, Koichiro ; Wentzcovitch, Renata M. ; Wu, Shunqing ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The highest pressure form of the major Earth-forming mantle silicate is MgSiO₃ post-perovskite (PPv). Understanding the fate of PPv at TPa pressures is the first step for understanding the mineralogy of super-Earths-type exoplanets, arguably the most interesting for their similarities with Earth. Modeling their internal structure requires knowledge of stable mineral phases, their properties under compression, and major element abundances. Several studies of PPv under extreme pressures support the notion that a sequence of pressure induced dissociation transitions produce the elementary oxides SiO₂ and MgO as the ultimate aggregation form at ~3 TPa. However, none of these studies have addressedmore »« less

Pressure-induced structural change in MgSiO₃ glass at pressures near the Earth’s core–mantle boundary

Journal Article Kono, Yoshio ; Shibazaki, Yuki ; Kenney-Benson, Curtis ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Knowledge of the structure and properties of silicate magma under extreme pressure plays an important role in understanding the nature and evolution of Earth’s deep interior. Here we report the structure of MgSiO ₃ glass, considered an analog of silicate melts, up to 111 GPa. The first (r1) and second (r2) neighbor distances in the pair distribution function change rapidly, with r1 increasing and r2 decreasing with pressure. At 53–62 GPa, the observed r1 and r2 distances are similar to the Si-O and Si-Si distances, respectively, of crystalline MgSiO ₃ akimotoite with edge-sharing SiO ₆ structural motifs. Above 62 GPa,more »« less

In situ X-ray diffraction of silicate liquids and glasses under dynamic and static compression to megabar pressures

Journal Article Morard, Guillaume ; Hernandez, Jean-Alexis ; Guarguaglini, Marco ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Properties of liquid silicates under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions are critical for modeling the dynamics and solidification mechanisms of the magma ocean in the early Earth, as well as for constraining entrainment of melts in the mantle and in the present-day core–mantle boundary. In this paper, we present in situ structural measurements by X-ray diffraction of selected amorphous silicates compressed statically in diamond anvil cells (up to 157 GPa at room temperature) or dynamically by laser-generated shock compression (up to 130 GPa and 6,000 K along the MgSiO₃glass Hugoniot). The X-ray diffraction patterns of silicate glasses and liquids reveal similarmore »« less
