Iron has the ability to adopt different electronic configurations, and transitions in its spin state in the lower mantle can significantly influence mantle properties and dynamics. Experimental results for two lower-mantle perovskite compositions show that the intermediate spin state of iron is stable throughout the bulk of the lower mantle.
