报告摘要:Davemaoite, CaSiO3 perovskite, is believed to be the third most abundant mineral in Earth's lower mantle. Its stability is essential for understanding the chemical evolution and dynamics of the Earth's mantle because it holds trace elements, unlike other lower mantle minerals, bridgmanite and ferropericlase. However, the presence of davemaoite in the lower mantle remains controversial. A recent study by Ko et al.(Nature,611,88,2022) using laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DAC) reported that the solubility of CaSiO3 in bridgmanite increases significantly above 2300 K and 40 GPa. This led to the conclusion that davemaoite is absent in regions deeper than 1800 km in the mantle because all the CaSiO3 in pyrolite is contained in bridgmanite. To verify this conclusion, we performed multi-anvil experiments at pressures ranging from 27 to 50 GPa and temperatures between 2300 and 2700 K with five different compositions using the ultrahigh-pressure-temperature multi-anvil technology and examined the run products using transmission electron microscopy. Our results show that Ca solubility in bridgmanite cannot eliminate davemaoite under typical mantle conditions, including representative pressures, temperatures, and chemical compositions. Based on these results, we conclude that davemaoite does exist in Earth's lower mantle, contrary to the suggestion of Ko et al.(Nature,611,88,2022).
