The oxygen fugacity () may affect the ionic conductivity of olivine under upper mantle conditions because Mg vacancies can be produced in the crystal structure by the oxidization of iron from Fe2+ to Fe3+. Here we investigated olivine ionic conductivity at 4 GPa, as a function of temperature, crystallographic orientation, and oxygen fugacity, corresponding to the topmost asthenospheric conditions. The results demonstrate that the ionic conductivity is insensitive to under relatively reduced conditions ( below Re-ReO2 buffer), whereas it has a clear -dependence under relatively oxidized conditions ( around the magnetite-hematite buffer). The ionic conduction in olivine may contribute significantly to the conductivity anomaly in the topmost asthenosphere especially at relatively oxidized conditions.

氧逸度对橄榄石离子电导率的影响
氧逸度() 可能会影响上地幔条件下橄榄石的离子电导率,因为通过将铁从 Fe 2+氧化为 Fe 3+可以在晶体结构中产生 Mg 空位。在这里,我们研究了 4 GPa 下的橄榄石离子电导率,作为温度、晶体取向和氧逸度的函数,对应于最顶层的软流圈条件。结果表明离子电导率对 在相对减少的条件下(低于 Re-ReO 2缓冲区),而它有一个清晰的-在相对氧化条件下的依赖性(在磁铁矿 - 赤铁矿缓冲液周围)。橄榄石中的离子传导可能对最顶部软流圈的电导异常有显着影响,尤其是在相对氧化的条件下。
