摘要
Elastic properties of polycrystalline MgSiO3 perovskite were determined by means of resonance sphere technique at temperatures from 258 to 318 K under atmospheric pressure. The temperature derivatives of adiabatic bulk (partial derivativeK(S)/partial derivativeT)(P) and shear moduli (partial derivativeG/partial derivativeT)(P) are -0.029(2) GPa/K and -0.024(1) GPa/K, respectively. Applying the present results in interpretation of seismological observations, we suggest that the chemical composition of the earth's lower mantle is pyrolitic at the potential temperature of 1600 K.
