The core–mantle boundary (CMB)–the interface between the silicate mantle and liquid iron
alloy outer core–is the most important boundary inside our planet, with processes occurring …

Silicate perovskite-type phases are the most abundant constituent inside our planet and are
the predominant minerals in Earth's lower mantle more than 660 kilometers below the …

We use new interior models of cold planets to investigate the mass-radius relationships of
solid exoplanets, considering planets made primarily of iron, silicates, water, and carbon …

Early in terrestrial planet evolution energetic impact, radiodecay, and core formation may
have created one or more whole or partial silicate mantle magma oceans. The time to …

At high pressure and temperature, the phase diagram of elemental carbon is poorly known.
We present predictions of diamond and BC8 melting lines and their phase boundary in the …

The postperovskite transition in MgSiO3 at conditions similar to those expected at the D
″discontinuity of Earth's lower mantle offers a paradigm for interpreting the properties of this …

Ultrahigh-pressure phase relationship of SiO2 silica in multimegabar pressure condition is
still quite unclear. Here, we report a theoretical prediction on a previously uncharacterized …

Thermal conductivity is essential for controlling the rate of core heat loss and long-term
thermal evolution of the Earth, but it has been poorly constrained at the high pressures of …

We present new equation‐of‐state (EoS) data acquired by shock loading to pressures up to
245 GPa on both low‐density samples (MgSiO3 glass) and high‐density, polycrystalline …

This research has been motivated by geophysics and materials physics. The objective of this
research has been to advance materials theory and computations for high pressure and …
