Abstract
To investigate the texture development of (Mg,Fe)O, we conducted torsional deformation experiments on (Mg,Fe)O with varying Fe contents under pressures up to 125 GPa and temperatures up to 900 K using a rotational diamond anvil cell combined with synchrotron X-rays. The results indicate that the texture development follows the same trend as that observed in MgO, even when the Fe content varies or undergoes a spin transition. However, we found that the crystal plane perpendicular to the compression direction of (Mg,Fe)O could transition from {110} to {100} at lower pressure and temperature conditions than in MgO, attributable to the effect of Fe incorporation. Additionally, the texture of (Mg,Fe)O may vary with the combination of Fe content and strain. In regions with high Fe content and large strains, such as the D″ layer, it may be necessary to evaluate the seismic anisotropy of (Mg,Fe)O based on the texture considering the effects of Fe content and strain.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1968 to fill the need for an international journal in the field of planetary physics, geodesy and geophysics, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors has now grown to become important reading matter for all geophysicists. It is the only journal to be entirely devoted to the physical and chemical processes of planetary interiors.
Original research papers, review articles, short communications and book reviews are all published on a regular basis; and from time to time special issues of the journal are devoted to the publication of the proceedings of symposia and congresses which the editors feel will be of particular interest to the reader.
