Thermoelastic Properties of Iron‐Rich Ringwoodite and the Deep Mantle Aerotherm of Mars

Abstract The Martian mantle is considered to have a higher Fe/Mg ratio than the Earth's mantle. Ringwoodite, γ‐(Mg,Fe)2SiO4, is likely the dominant polymorph of olivine in the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) region of Mars. We synthesized anhydrous iron‐rich ringwoodite with molar Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 0.4...
