The transition pressurebecomes 125-128 GPa when considering the iron content of melts in a pyrolitic or chondritic mantle, whichis lower than the pressures of the CMB and the ULVZs. Our datashowthe substitution of 12mol% Fe in MgSiO3 glass decreases the VS by ~5.5 %. This study implies that iron considerably affect onthe buoyancy relations between melts/crystals and the iron-bearing melts at the lowermost mantle will have thehigher coordination numberthan sixfold.}, title = {Acoustic wave velocities of ferrous-bearing MgSiO3 glass up to 158 GPa with 2 implications for dense silicate melts at the base of the Earth’s mantle}, year = {2022} }
