Thermoelastic Properties of Seifertite at High Pressures and Temperatures: Implications for Negative Velocity Discontinuities in the D" Layer

Abstract Negative velocity discontinuities are often observed at the base of the D'' layer, yet their formation mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we present the first investigation of thermoelastic properties of SiO2‐seifertite under 30–200 GPa and 1,000–4,000 K using first‐principles molec...
