Abstract [en]

Knowledge of high-pressure melting curves of silicate minerals is critical for modeling the thermal-chemical evolution of rocky planets. However, the melting temperature of davemaoite, the third most abundant mineral in Earth's lower mantle, is still controversial. Here, we investigate the melting curves of two minerals, MgSiO3 bridgmanite and CaSiO3 davemaoite, under their stability field in the mantle by performing first-principles molecular dynamics simulations based on the density functional theory. The melting curve of bridgmanite is in excellent agreement with previous studies, confirming a general consensus on its melting temperature. However, we predict a much higher melting curve of davemaoite than almost all previous estimates. Melting temperature of davemaoite at the pressure of core-mantle boundary (similar to 136 gigapascals) is about 7700(150) K, which is approximately 2000 K higher than that of bridgmanite. The ultrarefractory nature of davemaoite is critical to reconsider many models in the deep planetary interior, for instance, solidification of early magma ocean and geodynamical behavior of mantle rocks.
