摘要
A new polymorph of MgSiO3 more stable than the Pbnm-perovskite phase has been identified by first-principles computations. It has the CaIrO3 structure with Cmcm symmetry and consists of SiO3 layers intercalated by eightfold-coordinated Mg ions. High-temperature calculations within the quasiharmonic approximation give a volume change of similar to 1.5% and a Clapeyron slope of similar to 7.5 +/- 0.3 MPa/K at similar to 2750 K and similar to 125 GPa. These pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions are close to those in which a phase transition in MgSiO3-perovskite has been observed by in situ angle dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements. This transition appears to be associated with the W discontinuity. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
