Thermal conductivity of perovskite at lower mantle conditions
Abstract
Thermal conductivity (κ) of mantle minerals is key to understanding dynamics in the deep Earth. It controls the style of mantle convection and the timescale of cooling both the mantle and the core. Cubic CaSiO3 perovskite (CaPv) is the third most abundant mineral in the lower mantle (7 vol %). Despite its importance, no theoretical or experimental estimate of CaPv's κ is available. Theoretical investigations of its properties are challenging because of its strong anharmonicity. Experimental measurements at relevant pressures and temperatures are equally challenging. Here we present ab initio results for CaPv's κ obtained using the phonon quasiparticle approach to address its strong anharmonicity. We also offer experimental measurements of κ up to 67 GPa and 1950 K. Predictions and measurements are in good agreement and reveal a surprisingly large κ for cubic CaPv that can be explained on the basis of its high crystal structure symmetry. Despite its relatively low abundance, CaPv's κ increases the lower mantle κ by ~10 %, if accounted for. κ of mantle regions enriched in subducted crustal materials will be more strongly impacted.
