Summary• Building a consistent body of knowledge obout LM phases
• QHA is suitable for studying thermal properties of minerals at
LM conditions
• A homogeneous and adiabatic LM model appears to be incompatible with PREM.
• LPO in aggregates of MgO and MgSiO3 can exhibit strong anisotropy at LM conditions.
• We have all ingredients now to re-examine what has been said about lateral variations.
![Page 45: First Principles Thermoelasticity of Minerals: Insights into the Earth’s LM](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814a71550346895db78a3d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Future directions
• Properties of solid solutions, e.g., Fe, Al, bearing perovskites and oxides
• Rheology (deformations, slip systems, diffusion, anelasticity) of materials
• Computationally intensive, e.g, large-scale MD simulations!!
