Outline of Final Research Achievements

The existence of an X-discontinuity has been reported in the upper mantle at a depth of about 300 km. An aim of our research is to understand the origin of this discontinuity. To assess the relationship between this discontinuity and the silica mineral phase transition, we perform the precise determination of the phase transition boundary. It was confirmed that the phase transition of the silica mineral occurs at around 10 GPa corresponding to a depth of 300 km. This indicates that the silica mineral structural phase transition might forms the discontinuity at 300 km depth.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

マントル中の地震波速度構造において、複数の速度不連続面が存在することが知られている。この速度不連続面は、マントルの物質科学情報を得るための重要な情報源である。上部マントル中の深さ300km付近にX‐不連続面の存在が報告されていて、その成因は明らかにすることにより、上部マントル中の化学組成不均一の存在が明らかになる。本研究では、海溝から沈み込んだスラブ物質のマントル内での分布を明らかにし、地球史におけるマントルの化学組成進化の理解が進んだ。
