説明

<jats:p>First principles calculations have shown that the high‐pressure phase transition of phase D MgSi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub><jats:italic>O</jats:italic><jats:sub>6</jats:sub><jats:italic>H</jats:italic><jats:sub>2</jats:sub> to the new high‐pressure hydrous phase MgSiO<jats:sub>4</jats:sub><jats:italic>H</jats:italic><jats:sub>2</jats:sub> plus stishovite occurs at about 40 GPa. The crystal structure of the new phase is very similar to that of CaCl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>‐type SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and has monoclinic symmetry with space group <jats:italic>P2/m</jats:italic>. This new hydrous phase is stable up to about 52 GPa and then dissociates into MgSiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> perovskite and H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O (ice VIII) at static 0 K conditions. The Clapeyron slope between phase D and the new phase + SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> is positive; about 6.4 MPa/K at 1000 K. This new hydrous phase further extends the stability field of dense hydrous magnesium silicates and also opens the pathway toward the existence of a high‐pressure phase of ice at the lower mantle conditions.</jats:p>
