Research Abstract |
In order to understand mechanisms of deep earthquakes and large deformations of subducting oceanic plates in mantle convective currents, we have investigated the coupling behaviors between transformation and deformation in mantle minerals at high pressures. Kinetics of various types of reactions occurred in convective mantle have been examined with and without deformation mainly by synchrotron radiation (SOR) in-situ X-ray observations. We succeeded to obtain both transformation-time (t-t) and stress-strain (s-s) curves by using deformation multi-anvil (D-DIA) apparatus. We also preliminarily combined the SOR D-DIA system with newly developed multiple acoustic emission (AE) measurement system, which enables to simultaneously observe reaction kinetics, creep behaviors, and shear instability. The in-situ s-s-t-t-AE observation system developed in this study will be a powerful tool to reveal complex behaviors of subducting plates in mantle transition zone.
