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 …

We determined high-pressure melting curves for Fe3C, Fe7C3 and the Fe–Fe3C eutectic
using laser-heated diamond anvil cell techniques. The principal criterion for melting is the …

We present new high-pressure temperature experiments on melting phase relations of Fe–C–
S systems with applications to metallic core formation in planetary interiors. Experiments …

The coexistence pressure of two phases is a well-defined point at fixed temperature. In
experiment, however, due to nonhydrostatic stresses and a stress-dependent potential …

Relationships for the volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter γ have been used to
discuss the behaviour of solids in the limit of infinite pressure (P→∞). The model recently …

Interaction between the lower mantle and core is essential for understanding the nature of D
″layer at the coremantle boundary (CMB). Here, we report the reaction between post …

With a radius of 1200km the Earth's inner core is only 30% smaller than its moon. Being the
solid, central core of a planet, its dynamics are fascinating and unique. The inner-core …

In this study, we used the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation of state to determine the
relationships with pressure, volume, and temperature for NaCl up to a temperature of 900K …

The melting temperatures of Fe–Ni alloys and their densities in the liquid state at relevant
pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions present in the core are of great importance for …

Carbon is a plausible candidate for a light element in the Earth's core. Here, we show that
Fe3C melts incongruently to form Fe7C3 and liquid at least up to 200 GPa based on insitu …
