摘要

Earth's lowermost mantle displays complex geological phenomena that likely result from its heterogeneous physical interaction with the core. Geophysical models of core-mantle interaction rely on the thermal and electrical conductivities of appropriate geomaterials which, however, have never been probed at representative pressure and temperature (P-T) conditions. Here we report on the opacity of single crystalline bridgmanite and ferropericlase and link it to their radiative and electrical conductivities. Our results show that light absorption in the visible spectral range is enhanced upon heating in both minerals but the rate of change in opacity with temperature is a factor of six higher in ferropericlase. As a result, bridgmanite in the lowermost mantle is moderately transparent while ferropericlase is highly opaque. Our measurements support previous indirect estimates of low (< 1 W/m/K) and largely temperature-independent radiative conductivity in the lowermost mantle. This implies that the radiative mechanism has not contributed significantly to cooling the Earth's core throughout the geologic time. Opaque ferropericlase is electrically conducting and mediates strong core-mantle electromagnetic coupling, explaining the intradecadal oscillations in the length of day, low secular geomagnetic variations in Central Pacific, and the preferred paths of geomagnetic pole reversals.
