Lattice thermal conductivity of MgO at conditions of Earth's interior

Tang, Xiaoli; Dong, Jianjun (2020-06-29)

Thermal conductivity of the Earth’s lower mantle greatly impacts the mantle convection style and affects the heat conduction from the core to the mantle. Direct laboratory measurement of thermal conductivity of mantle ...

The thermal conductivity of Earth's lower mantle

Tang, Xiaoli; Ntam, Moses C.; Dong, Jianjun; Rainey, Emma S. G.; Kavner, Abby (2022-09-16)

We assess the thermal conductivity of the Earth’s lower mantle anchored on our first-principles calculations of lattice thermal conductivity of MgSiO3 perovskite. Our calculations agree with measurements of iron-free ...
