Materials at high temperature and pressure
The composition of the large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) unlikely originates from the subducted oceanic crust
(Wang and Xu et al., 2020 NC)
Water content of the mantle transition zone
(Wang et al., 2019 EPSL)
The pyrope dissociation may account for the observed seismic discontinuity at ~740 km depth by studying the elasticity of corundum and akimotoite
(Hao et al., 2019 EPSL; Wang et al., 2018 JGR)
The velocity and density profiles of the pyrolitic upper mantle agree well with seismic models
(Zou et al., 2018 JGR)
