Pressure dependence of Gruneisen parameter of some transition metals
ABSTRACT Comparison of seismic velocities in mantle metals under mantle conditions with seismic data is the first step towards constraining mantle chemistry. The calculation, however, is uncertain due to lack of data on certain physical properties. The Grüneisen parameter ( γ ) is of much importance regarding to the physical properties of mantle metals, because it sets limitations on the thermo elastic properties of the lower mantle and core at different compression ratio.
