410 km discontinuity sharpness and the form of the olivine alpha-beta phase diagram: Resolution of apparent seismic contradictions
Estimates of the thickness of the 410 km seismic discontinuity, believed to be due to the α-olivine→-β-modined-spinel transformation in olivine, are as low as 4 km based on discontinuity reflectivity. The seismically estimated thickness is, however, biased to values narrow than the true transformati...
