Crystallization of silicon dioxide and compositional evolution of the Earth's core

K Hirose, G Morard, R Sinmyo, K Umemoto, J Hernlund… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The Earth's core is about ten per cent less dense than pure iron (Fe), suggesting that it
contains light elements as well as iron. Modelling of core formation at high pressure (around …

Chemical compositions of the outer core examined by first principles calculations

K Umemoto, K Hirose - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
We have examined the density and bulk sound velocity of liquid iron alloys,(Fe, Ni) X (H, Si,
O, S, C) 1-X, at Earth's outer core pressure and temperature conditions based on first …

Composition of the low seismic velocity E′ layer at the top of Earth's core

J Brodholt, J Badro - Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Using ab initio simulations on Fe‐Ni‐S‐C‐O‐Si liquids, we constrain the origin and
composition of the low‐velocity layer E′ at the top of Earth's outer core. We find that …

Liquid iron‐hydrogen alloys at outer core conditions by first‐principles calculations

K Umemoto, K Hirose - Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We examined the density, bulk sound (compressional) velocity, and Grüneisen parameter of
liquid pure Fe, Fe100H28 (0.50 wt% H), Fe88H40 (0.81 wt% H), and Fe76H52 (1.22 wt% H) …

Melting experiments on the Fe–C binary system up to 255 GPa: Constraints on the carbon content in the Earth's core

I Mashino, F Miozzi, K Hirose, G Morard… - Earth and Planetary …, 2019 - Elsevier
Phase relations, including the eutectic liquid composition in the Fe–C binary system, remain
