Abstract
High pressure experiments and calorimetric measurements were performed to clarify the stability field of CaAl4Si2O11 CAS-phase. It was shown that CAS-phase is stable above about 13 GPa and 1100°C. Combining the measured enthalpy data with published ones, dissociation boundary of CAS-phase into a mixture of Ca-perovskite, corundum and stishovite was calculated. Assuming reasonable geotherms, it was concluded that CAS-phase is stable in the transition zone and upper part of the lower mantle.
