Caption

Schematic picture of the Earth's interior. On the right side is the example of the part of the two-dimensional wide scan of x-ray diffraction image of Fe, Al-bearing bridgmanite, on the left side is the crystal structure of pure Fe-bridgmanite. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 15, 2016, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by L. Ismailova at University of Bayreuth in Bayreuth, Germany, and colleagues was titled, 'Stability of Fe,Al-bearing bridgmanite in the lower mantle and synthesis of pure Fe-bridgmanite.'
