1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Linda Sobolewski <linda.sobolewski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> *A seminar series on diffusion modelling to determine timescales of processes (Diffusion Chronometry)* Dear Colleagues, Our next seminar will be held on *Thursday, April 28* (16:30-18:30 *CEST*) with *David Dobson,* *University College London, UK:* *â??Extreme anisotropic diffusion in post-perovskite and implications for diffusion creep.â??* ******************************************************************************************** *Summary:* *Magnesium-silicate post perovskite is thought to be present in and to control the dynamics of the D'' region. Through a combination of Ab Initio simulation and experiment on isostructural analogues we find that there are up to 8 orders of magnitude of anisotropy in chemical diffusivity. This results in extremely anisotropic diffusion creep with attendant crystallographic preferred orientation development. In addition, coupling between grain shape development and shear rotation might cause grain size reduction during diffusion creep leading to a strong strain-weakening rheology. This could explain many anomalous features of the D'' region.* ******************************************************************************************** Registration is required to avoid undesired interruptions.
