Microstructure and CPO of shear-deformed Al bearing-phase D.

Caption

 (a, b) Images show deformation cell assemblage and microstructure of shear-deformed Al bearing-phase D aggregate under 20GPa, 800°C, conditions of lower mantle transition zone. Large deviation of strain marker and elongated grains indicate that significant strain was applied to the sample. (c) The inverse pole figure suggests that the (0001) lattice plane predominantly aligns in the shear plane after deformation.
