摘要
We predict the insulator-metal-insulator transitions for the temperature and pressure of the lower mantle with the metal layer thickness Delta h a parts per thousand 400 km at the depth of 1400-1800 km. The insulator-metal transition has the Mott-Hubbard origin, while the second transition from metal to insulator results from spin crossover of the Fe2+ ions from high spin S = 2 to low spin S = 0 state. The conductivity in the metal layer may attain 250 S/m. The depth profile of the conductivity is also suggested.
