Abstract/NotesThe D″ region of the lower mantle, which lies just above the core–mantle boundary, is distinct from the bulk of the lower mantle in that it exhibits complex seismic heterogeneity and seismic anisotropy. Seismic anisotropy in this region is likely to be largely due to the deformation-induced texture (crystallographic preferred orientation) development of the constituent mineral phases. Thus, seismic anisotropy can provide a marker for deformation processes occurring in this dynamic region of the Earth. Post-perovskite-structured (Mg,Fe)SiO3 is believed to be the dominant mineral phase in many regions of the D”. As such, understanding deformation mechanisms and texture development in post-perovskite is important for the interpretation of observed seismic anisotropy. Here, we report on high-pressure diamond anvil cell deformation experiments on NaMgF3 neighborite (perovskite structure) and post-perovskite. During deformation, neighborite develops a 100 texture, as has been previously observed, both in NaMgF3 and MgSiO3 perovskite. Upon transformation to the post-perovskite phase, an initial texture of 130 at high angles to compression is observed, indicating that the 100 planes of perovskite become the  130 planes of post-perovskite. Further compression results in the development of a shoulder towards (001) in the inverse pole figure. Plasticity modeling using the elasto-viscoplastic self-consistent code shows this texture evolution to be most consistent with deformation on (001)[100] with some contribution of glide on (100)[010] and (001)<110> in NaMgF3 post-perovskite. The transformation and deformation mechanisms observed in this study in the NaMgF3 system are consistent with the behavior generally observed in other perovskite–post-perovskite systems, including the MgSiO3 system. This shows that NaMgF3 is a good analog for the mantle bridgmanite and MgSiO3 post-perovskite.
