A Library of Elastic Tensors for Lowermost Mantle Seismic Anisotropy Studies and Comparison With Seismic Observations
Abstract The exact mechanism for lowermost mantle seismic anisotropy remains unknown; however, work on the elasticity and deformation of lower mantle materials has constrained a few possible options. The most probable minerals producing anisotropy are bridgmanite, postperovskite, and ferropericlase....
