The core–mantle boundary under the Gulf of Alaska: No ULVZ for shear waves

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2000
The Earth’s core^mantle boundary (CMB) marks the boundary between the hot, molten iron core and the silicate mantle and is a thermal, chemical, and flow boundary. Previous observations of very slow compressional wavespeeds suggest that thin ultra-low-velocity zones (ULVZs), possibly composed of a mixture of molten iron and silicates, exist at the base ...

Localized double-array stacking analysis of PcP: D″ and ULVZ structure beneath the Cocos plate, Mexico, central Pacific, and north Pacific

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2009
Abstract A large, high quality P-wave data set comprising short-period and broadband signals sampling four separate regions in the lowermost mantle beneath the Cocos plate, Mexico, the central Pacific, and the north Pacific is analyzed using regional one-dimensional double-array stacking and modelling with reflectivity synthetics.

Ferric iron in bridgmanite and implications for ULVZs

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2020
Abstract The seismic velocities of ferric iron-enriched bridgmanite under core-mantle boundary (CMB) conditions were calculated using GGA + U ab initio molecular dynamics to probe whether ferric iron enriched mantle can explain the properties of ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZ). Under these conditions ferric iron demonstrated some unusual properties.
