Velocity and density characteristics of subducted oceanic crust and the origin of lower-mantle heterogeneities

Seismic heterogeneities detected in the lower mantle were proposed to be related to subducted oceanic crust. However, the velocity and density of subducted oceanic crust at lower-mantle conditions remain unknown. Here, we report ab initio results for the elastic properties of calcium ferrite‐type ph...
