The texture of the post-perovskite phase controls the characteristics of the D” seismic discontinuity

Abstract The D” seismic discontinuity is one of the most prominent and enigmatic seismic anomalies in Earth’s lower mantle, and its origin remains unclear. Since the discovery of the post-perovskite phase, seismic anisotropy observed in the D” layer has been attributed to the texturing of this phase...
