“…The deformation behavior of bridgmanite (Cordier et al., 2004; Merkel et al., 2003; Miyagi & Wenk, 2016; Tsujino et al., 2016; Wenk et al., 2004), davemaoite (Immoor et al., 2022; Miyagi et al., 2009), and ferropericlase (Immoor et al., 2018; Merkel et al., 2002; Miyagi & Wenk, 2016) have been investigated under high pressures and, sometimes, high temperatures. These experiments have helped in constraining plasticity and deformation mechanisms in minerals (Cordier et al., 2004; Miyagi et al., 2010; Miyajima et al., 2009) with the addition of numerical models, allowing for studies on the effects of composition, temperature, and strain rate (Boioli et al., 2017; Carrez et al., 2007, 2017; Ferré et al., 2007; Mainprice et al., 2008) that cannot be addressed experimentally. Those, however, were not performed on a true pyrolitic composition, nor both at mantle pressures and temperatures and deserve a new investigation.…”
