Abstract | The purpose of this work was to construct a generally electrical structure of the upper mantle. The electrical conductivity of dry pyrolite was measured on Kawai-1000t multi-anvil apparatus and Solartron-1260 impedance/Gain-Phase analyzer in the conditions of 4. 0 similar to 14. 0 GPa, 873 similar to 1673 K and 10(-1)similar to 10(6) Hz frequency ranges. The experimental results show that the electrical conductivity significantly increases with temperature. The conductive mechanism of pyrolite changes over a wide temperature range. When temperature is less than 1473 K, the small polaron model is the dominant conduction mechanism, activation energy Delta H and activation volume are 0. 94 eV +/- 0. 13 eV and 0. 11(+/- 0. 92) cm(3) . mol(-1), respectively. When temperature is more than 1473 K, the ionic conduction is the dominant conduction mechanism, activation energy Delta H and activation volume are 1.6 similar to 3.17 eV and 6.75 (+/- 7.43) cm(3) . mol(-1), respectively. The electrical conductivity of pyrolite is higher than that of mantle minerals and the rock under low pressure. In shallow mantle above 200 km depth, the electrical conductivity profile obtained by the experiments is consistent with the result of magnetotelluric sounding. However, in deep mantle under 200 km depth, the experimental result is a little higher than that of field measurement, perhaps because of the presence of water in the samples. In addition, the results of this experiment are two orders of magnitude higher than the electrical conductivity calculated by the effective uniform medium method according to the pyrolite mineral model, which indicates that the results calculated using the electrical conductivity of only one or several minerals are not reasonable to some extent. |
