Abstract
Recent laboratory data on high-pressure and high-temperature experiments of various silicates strongly suggest that silicate minerals having the perovskite-type structure are dominant phases in the earth’s lower mantle (e.g., Liu, 1976; Mao et al, 1977). Discovery of the existence of silicate perovskites has naturally preceded knowledge of their physical properties, and thus no experimental data have been reported so far on their elastic properties.
