Seismic anisotropy of the D″ layer induced by (001) deformation of post-perovskite
The source of the anisotropic layer (D'' layer) at the bottom of the lower mantle remains unclear. Here, using high pressure and temperature experiments, the authors find that seismic anisotropy observed at the D'' layer is caused by 50% deformation of the minerals post-perovskit...
