主 题:electrical conductivity silicate melt carbonate melt high-conductivity anomaly Earth's mantle
摘 要:Magmatic liquids,including silicate and carbonate melts,are principal agents of mass and heat transfer in the Earth and terrestrial planets,and they play a crucial role in various geodynamic processes and in Earth’s *** conductivity data of these melts elucidate the cause of electrical anomalies in Earth’s interior and shed light on the melt *** the improvement in high-pressure experimental techniques and theoretical simulations,major progress has been made on this front in the past several *** review aims to summarize recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies on the electrical conductivity of silicate and carbonate melts of different compositions and volatile contents under high temperature and *** electrical conductivity of silicate melts depends strongly on temperature,pressure,water content and the ratio of non-bridging oxygens to tetrahedral cations(NBO/T).By contrast,the electrical conductivity of carbonate melts exhibits a weak dependence on temperature and pressure due to their fully depolymerized *** electrical conductivity of carbonate melts is higher than that of silicate melts by at least two orders of *** can increase electrical conductivity significantly and reduce the activation energy of silicate ***,this effect is weak for carbonate *** addition,the replacement of alkali-earth elements(Ca2+or Mg2+) with alkali elements causes a significant decrease in the electrical conductivity of carbonate melts.A distinct compensation trend is revealed for the electrical conductivity of silicate and carbonate melts under anhydrous and hydrous *** important applications of laboratory-based melt conductivity are introduced in order to understand the origin of high-conductivity anomalies in the Earth’s *** for future studies are also provided.
