Incorporation mechanism of Fe and Al into bridgmanite in a subducting mid-ocean ridge basalt and its crystal chemistry

Abstract The compositional difference between subducting slabs and their surrounding lower-mantle can yield the difference in incorporation mechanism of Fe and Al into bridgmanite between both regions, which should cause heterogeneity in physical properties and rheology of the lower mantle. However,...

Incorporation mechanism of Fe and Al into bridgmanite in a subducting mid-ocean ridge basalt and its crystal chemistry
description Abstract The compositional difference between subducting slabs and their surrounding lower-mantle can yield the difference in incorporation mechanism of Fe and Al into bridgmanite between both regions, which should cause heterogeneity in physical properties and rheology of the lower mantle. However, the precise cation-distribution has not been examined in bridgmanites with Fe- and Al-contents expected in a mid-ocean ridge basalt component of subducting slabs.
