Thermodynamic and Elastic Properties of Magnesite at Mantle Conditions: First‐Principles Calculations

Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a likely main host of carbonates in the mantle and plays an important role in the transport and storage of carbon in the Earth's mantle. Its physical properties at high pressure and high temperature (PT) are crucial for understanding the deep carbon cycle. Here we...
