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 …

Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

The equations of state for solid (with bcc, fcc, and hcp structures) and liquid phases of Fe
were defined via simultaneous optimization of the heat capacity, bulk moduli, thermal …

We conducted high‐pressure experiments on hexagonal close packed iron (hcp‐Fe) in
MgO, NaCl, and Ne pressure‐transmitting media and found general agreement among the …

Temperature, thermal history, and dynamics of Earth rely critically on the knowledge of the
melting temperature of iron at the pressure conditions of the inner core boundary (ICB) …

Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we calculate the equation of state of iron in
the solid phase for both the hcp and bcc structures as well as the high-pressure melting …

The melting points of fcc-and hcp-structured Fe 0.9 Ni 0.1 and Fe are measured up to 125
GPa using laser heated diamond anvil cells, synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, and a …

We present a novel method for detecting the solid–liquid phase boundary of compressed
iron at high temperatures using synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy (SMS). Our approach …

The melting temperature (Tm) of iron at megabar pressures constrains the Earth's core
temperature structure and dynamics. Previous experimental studies demonstrated large …

The melting curve of Ni has been determined to 125 GPa using laser-heated diamond anvil
cell (LH-DAC) experiments in which two melting criteria were used: firstly, the appearance of …
