The solid inner core of Earth is predominantly composed of iron alloyed with several percent
Ni and some lighter elements, Si, S, O, H, and C being the prime candidates. To establish …

This review systematically presents all finds of geogenic, impact-induced, and
extraterrestrial iron silicide minerals known at the end of 2021. The respective morphological …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The outer core of the Earth contains several weight percent of one or more unknown light
elements, which may include silicon. Therefore it is critical to understand the high pressure …

Metal-containing silicides are of fundamental interests in the fields of physics, chemistry, and
material science due to their exotic structures and unique properties, such as electride state …

The melting curve of NiSi has been determined to 70 GPa on the basis of laser-heated
diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC) experiments in which changes in the gradient of temperature …

Anomalous seismic data on Earth's inner core have challenged our understanding of
mineral physics for decades. According to recent ab initio studies, bcc Fe may be a key to …

Using the evolutionary crystal structure prediction algorithm USPEX, we identify the
compositions and crystal structures of thermodynamically stable compounds in the Fe–S …
