Effect of cation substitution on bridgmanite elasticity: A key to interpret seismic anomalies in the lower mantle

Seismological observations show that, in some regions of the lower mantle, an increase in bulk sound velocity, interestingly, occurs in the same volume where there is a decrease in shear velocity. We show that this anti-correlated behavior occurs on cation substitution in bridgmanite by making singl...
