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 …

This paper provides the state-of-the-art discussion of major aspects of the composition and
evolution of the Earth's core. A comparison of experimentally-derived density of Fe with …

Light elements in Earth's core play a key role in driving convection and influencing
geodynamics, both of which are crucial to the geodynamo. However, the thermal transport …

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 …

Earth's core is composed of iron (Fe) alloyed with light elements, eg, silicon (Si). Its thermal
conductivity critically affects Earth's thermal structure, evolution, and dynamics, as it controls …

Phase relations of iron–silicon alloy (Fe–6.5 wt.% Si and Fe–9 wt.% Si) were investigated up
to 407 GPa and 5960 K in a laser-heated diamond–anvil cell, which likely covers the entire …

Compressional wave velocity-density (VP-ρ) relations of candidate Fe alloys at relevant
pressure-temperature conditions of the Earth's core are critically needed to evaluate the …

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 …

We carried out melting experiments on Fe–Si alloys to 127 GPa in a laser-heated diamond-
anvil cell (DAC). On the basis of textural and chemical characterizations of samples …

Thermal and compositional convection in Earth's core are thought to be the main power
sources driving geodynamo. The viability and strength of thermally and compositionally …
