The origin of the wave velocity anomalies at the core–mantle boundary (CMB) has been controversial. The primordial helium reservoir in the deep lower mantle remains elusive even with geochemical evidence for its existence. Here, we calculated the density and wave velocity of the FeO2–FeO2He system under the CMB conditions using first principles. The FeO2 and FeO2He of pyrite-type can exist stably under the CMB conditions without melting, and the incorporated helium increases the stability of the system. The electrical properties of FeO2 and FeO2He are not related to pressure. Doped helium reduces the density of the system but increases the elastic modulus. Our results suggest that FeO2 can be used as a viable material composition of ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs), and FeO2He can explain the D′′ seismic discontinuity instead of ULVZs. The primordial helium reservoir possibly formed by the accumulation of FeO2He, the only stable solid helium-bearing compound under the CMB conditions, may coincide with the location of the D′′ layer.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
