Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter
(WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as …

We determined the electrical resistivity of liquid Fe to 135 GPa and 6680 K using a four-
probe method in a diamond-anvil cell combined with two novel techniques:(i) enclosing a …

Understanding the electronic transport properties of iron under high temperatures and
pressures is essential for constraining geophysical processes. The difficulty of reliably …

We use ab initio simulations based on density functional theory to calculate the electrical
and thermal conductivity of solid iron in face-centered cubic and hexagonal phases at high …

A new diamond anvil cell experimental approach has been implemented at the European x-
ray Free Electron Laser, combining pulsed laser heating with MHz x-ray diffraction. Here, we …

We have simultaneously measured thermal conductivity (λ) and thermal diffusivity (κ) for
polycrystalline ferropericlase with different Fe contents (Fp3, Fp5, Fp10, Fp20, Fp30 and …

The magnetic fields of terrestrial planets are created by core convection. Molten silicate
mantles could also generate magnetic fields through their convective motion, known as a …

Physical properties of mantle minerals are essential for comprehensive geodynamic
modeling. High-pressure experiments allow measurements of physical properties but …

We have conducted electrical conductivity measurements of FeCO3 siderite under high
pressure up to 63 GPa in order to understand the nature and effect of iron spin transition and …

Knowing the transport properties of iron under realistic conditions present in the Earth's core
is essential for the geophysical modeling of Earth's magnetic field generation. Besides by …
