Sound Velocities and Equation of State of Iron-Rich (Mg,Fe)O
Ultralow-velocity zones (ULVZs) are small structures at the base of the mantle characterized by sound velocities up to 30% lower than those of surrounding mantle. In this thesis, we propose that iron-rich (Mg,Fe)O plays a key role in the observed sound velocities, and argue that chemically distinct,...
