Ferropericlase Control of Lower Mantle Rheology: Impact of Phase Morphology
Abstract The rheological properties of Earth's lower mantle play a key role for global mantle dynamics. The mineralogy of the lower mantle can be approximated as a bridgmanite‐ferropericlase mixture. Previous work has suggested that the deformation of this mixture might be dramatically affected...
