摘要
The Clapeyron slope of the perovskite to post-perovskite phase transition has not been well determined experimentally. Crystal structure of CaIrO3 is equivalent to the MgSiO3 post-perovskite phase ( space group:Cmcm) at ambient condition. We have found that perovskite phase (Pbnm) of CaIrO3, which is isostructural with MgSiO3 perovskite, is stable at 1-3 GPa and 1400-1550 degrees C. The perovskite to post-perovskite phase transition in CaIrO3 was determined by using piston-cylinder apparatus at 0.9-3.0 GPa and 1350-1550 degrees C. Results show that phase transition pressure is strongly temperature-sensitive with a Clapeyron slope of +17(+/- 3) MPa/degrees C. These results, obtained for a suitable analogue material, suggest that post-perovskite phase transition in MgSiO3 also has a large positive value of the Clapeyron slope. Such a pronounced exothermic reaction in the Earth's lowermost mantle will promote the upwelling of high-temperature plumes from the core-mantle boundary region.
