【Abstract】 We discuss recent advances in the studies of the physical properties of the dominant minerals of the Earth’s （lower mantle） under high temperature and high pressure. We focus on the phase stability of （Mg, Fe）SiO₃ （perovskite,） the equation of state, the thermo-elasticity and melting of （Mg, Fe）SiO₃ perovskite and （Mg, Fe）O magnesio-wüstite at lower mantle conditions. The chemical reactions between iron and silicate at core-mantle boundary conditions are reviewed in detail. The possible mineralogical composition of the lower mantle is addressed and the possible mineralogical interpretations of the seismic velocity anomaly in the lower mantle are also discussed. Some parallel research in China is introduced. Current problems are emphasized and the new research trends are indicated.更多还原
