Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of post-perovskite (Mg,Fe)SiO<sub>3</sub> (pPv) has been believed to be one potential source of the seismic anisotropic layer at the bottom of the lower mantle (D″ layer). However, the natural CPO of pPv remains ambiguous in the D″ layer. Here we have carried out the deformation experiments of pPv-(Mg<sub>0.75</sub>,Fe<sub>0.25</sub>)SiO<sub>3</sub> using synchrotron radial X-ray diffraction in a membrane-driven laser-heated diamond anvil cell from 13 ...[more]
