The composition and state of Earth's core, located deeper than 2,900 km from the surface,
remain largely uncertain. Recent static experiments on iron and alloys performed up to inner …

This paper provides the state-of-the-art discussion of major aspects of the composition and
evolution of the Earth's core. A comparison of experimentally-derived density of Fe with …

The Earth's core is comprised mostly of iron and nickel, but it also contains several weight
percent of one or more unknown light elements, which may include silicon. Therefore it is …

High-pressure, high-temperature in situ X-ray diffraction has been measured in liquid iron
alloys (Fe–5wt% Ni–12wt% S and Fe–5wt% Ni–15wt% Si) up to 94GPa and 3200K in laser …

Phase relations of iron–silicon alloy (Fe–6.5 wt.% Si and Fe–9 wt.% Si) were investigated up
to 407 GPa and 5960 K in a laser-heated diamond–anvil cell, which likely covers the entire …

Mercury's metallic core is expected to have formed under highly reducing conditions,
resulting in the presence of significant quantities of silicon alloyed to iron. Here we present …

The high-pressure behavior of Fe alloys governs the interior structure and dynamics of super-
Earths, rocky extrasolar planets that could be as much as 10 times more massive than Earth …

High pressure melting behavior of three Fe-alloys containing 5 wt% Ni and (1) 10 wt% Si,(2)
15 wt% Si or (3) 12 wt% S was investigated up to megabar pressures by in situ X-ray …

Earth's core is an iron‐rich alloy containing several weight percent of light element (s),
possibly including silicon. Therefore, the high pressure‐temperature equations of state of …

We carried out melting experiments on Fe–Si alloys to 127 GPa in a laser-heated diamond-
anvil cell (DAC). On the basis of textural and chemical characterizations of samples …
