    Abstract
  • We calculated thermo-elastic properties of pyrope (Mg3Al2Si3O12) at mantle pressures and temperatures using Ab initio molecular dynamic simulation. A third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation at a reference temperature of 2 000 K fits the calculations with bulk modulus, K0=159.5 GPa, K0′=4.3, V0=785.89 Å3, Grüneisen parameter, γ0=1.15, q=0.80, Anderson Grüneisen parameter δT =3.76 and thermal expansion, α0=2.93×10−5 K−1. Referenced to room temperature, where V0=750.80 Å3, γ0 and α0 become 1.11 and 2.47×10−5 K−1. The elastic properties of pyrope are found to be nearly isotropic at transition zone conditions.
