In compression studies texture development is typically represented by inverse pole figures (IPFs) of the compression direction (Figures 2.4–2.5). IPFs show the probability of finding the pole to a lattice plane in the compression direction (i.e., the relationship between one sample direction and all crystallographic plane normals). Texture intensity is typically given in multiples of random distribution (m.r.d.) or multiples of uniform distributions (m.u.d.) where an m.r.d. or an m.u.d. of 1 is random and a higher or lower number represents a greater or fewer number of orientations, respectively. In cases where the deformation geometry is more complex than compression (e.g., simple shear), it common to represent textures with pole figures (Figure 2.4g). Pole figures show the orientation of a specific lattice plane normal to the sample coordinate system (i.e., one or a few specific lattice planes to all sample directions).
Ferropericlase.
Perhaps due to their stability at ambient conditions Per and Fp are most studied of the mantle phases (Heidelbach et al., 2003; Immoor et al., 2018; F. Lin et al., 2017; Long et al., 2006; Merkel et al., 2002; Stretton et al., 2001; Uchida et al., 2004; Yamazaki & Karato, 2002). For a detailed review of deformation mechanisms in Per the reader is referred to (Amodeo et al., 2018). Slip in Per and Fp occurs in the 〈110〉 direction on {110}, {100} and {111} planes (Amodeo et al., 2018). In both Per and Fp low temperature deformation is by dominant slip on {110}〈1
Theoretical calculations (Amodeo et al., 2012, 2016) and single crystal deformation experiments on Per to 8 GPa (Girard et al., 2012) suggest a possible transition to {100}〈011〉 slip at pressure somewhere between 23 and 40 GPa. High pressure DAC measurement on Fp documented an abrupt increase in yield strength between 20 and 60 GPa, which may be associated with this slip system transition (Marquardt & Miyagi, 2015). However for a transition from {110}〈1
In Fp, Fe content may play a role in controlling deformation mechanisms. Subtle change in textures observed in room temperature DAC experiments may be linked to reduced activity of {110}〈1
Figure 2.4 Summary of textures observed in ferropericlase (a) and (b), CaSiO3 perovskite (c), and in bridgmanite (d–g). Textures are shown as equal area, upper hemisphere, projection inverse pole figures of the compression direction for (a–f). Due to the lower symmetry deformation geometry (shear) the texture data of Tsujino et al. (2016) are represented as pole figures of (100) (010), and (001). Black arrows indicate the sense of shear. The textures plotted in g) are those from the extended data figure 7 of Tsujino et al. (2016) which were obtained using the Materials Analysis Using Diffraction program (Lutterotti et al., 1997). Scale bar is in multiples of random distribution.
CaSiO3 Perovskite.
There is only one room temperature deformation experiment measuring texture development in Ca‐Pv (Miyagi et al., 2009). This experiment measured texture development at ~25–50 GPa and found a {100} compression texture (
