There is little doubt that densities for the Earth's outer core, inferred from seismology, require
that it is constituted of an alloy of liquid iron and light elements. However, the nature of the …

▪ Abstract Although the temperature at the top of the lower mantle is well constrained by
phase equilibrium data for the transformation of transition zone minerals to the denser …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Laboratory experiments document that liquid iron reacts chemically with silicates at high
pressures (≥ 2.4× 1010 Pascals) and temperatures. In particular,(Mg, Fe) SiO3 perovskite …

The high-pressure melting curve of FeO controls key aspects of Earth's deep interior and the
evolution of rocky planets more broadly. However, existing melting studies on wüstite were …

Progress in high pressure physics is reviewed with special emphasis on recent
developments in experimental techniques, pressure calibration, equations of state for simple …

In situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements of FeO at high pressures and high
temperatures revealed that the high-pressure phase of FeO has the NiAs structure (B8). The …

We used three-dimensional inverse scattering of core-reflected shear waves for large-scale,
high-resolution exploration of Earth's deep interior (D ″) and detected multiple, piecewise …

Few seismic observations have revolutionized our con-cept of the deep Earth like the
discovery of a discontinuous increase in velocity a few hundred kilometers above the core …

Abstract Melting temperatures of FeO, FeS and FeS 2 have been accurately determined in a
hydrostatic, inert pressure environment up to about 0.5 Mbar using a new yttrium-lithium …
