37 Summary We have determined the sound velocities of MgSiO 3 perovskite, MgO, (Mg,Fe)O and Al-MgSiO3 perovsktie under lower mantle pressure conditions Mineralogical modeling using obtained results strongly indicates the perovskitic lower mantle. Development of new Brillouin spectroscopy at high PT enables us to explore the sound velocities under lower mantle condition.
