Mechanisms of Al3+ incorporation in MgSiO3 post-perovskite at high pressures
Aluminum is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth's mantle, yet its effect on the physical properties of the newlyfound MgSiO3 post-perovskite (PPv), the major mineral of the Earth's D" layer, is not fully known. In this paper, large-scaleab initio simulations based on density...
