Anisotropy in the deep Earth
Seismic anisotropy has been found in many regions of the Earth's interior. Its presence in the
Earth's crust has been known since the 19th century, and is due in part to the alignment of …

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

Low core-mantle boundary temperature inferred from the solidus of pyrolite
The melting temperature of Earth's mantle provides key constraints on the thermal structures
of both the mantle and the core. Through high-pressure experiments and three-dimensional …

Thermal conductivity of Fe-Si alloys and thermal stratification in Earth's core
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 …

Fe–FeO and Fe–Fe3C melting relations at Earth's core–mantle boundary conditions: Implications for a volatile-rich or oxygen-rich core
Eutectic melting temperatures in the Fe–FeO and Fe–Fe 3 C systems have been determined
up to 150 GPa. Melting criteria include observation of a diffuse scattering signal by in situ X …

The structure of Fe–Si alloy in Earth's inner core
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 …

The Fe-FeSi phase diagram at Mercury's core conditions
Mercury's metallic core is expected to have formed under highly reducing conditions,
resulting in the presence of significant quantities of silicon alloyed to iron. Here we present …
