Outline of Final Research Achievements

Viscosity of minerals dominant in the mantle transition zone was measured by conducting deformation experiments at high pressure and high temperature at synchrotron facility, SPring-8. As a result, we obtained experimental data to constrain the viscosity of the mantle transition zone as a function of the dominant mineral (pressure), temperature, strain rate and water content. Moreover, we set up precision machining equipment for the deformation experiments at high pressure, and installed a multi-anvil high-pressure high-temperature apparatus at department of Earth and planetary systems science at Hiroshima University.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

マントル遷移層の粘性率は、地球を含む地球型惑星内部の熱的進化と化学的進化を理解する上で、非常に重要である。しかし、マントル遷移層の粘性率は地球物理学的にも地球内部物質科学的にも明らかになっていない。本研究課題では、超高圧高温変形実験によりマントル遷移層鉱物の粘性率を測定した。この結果、マントル遷移層の粘性率の主要構成鉱物(圧力)・温度・歪速度・含水量依存性を明らかにするためのデータを得た。
