In this section the contribution of CPO to seismic anisotropy in the deep Earth with cases of
olivine and the role of melt is illustrated. The CPO in rocks of upper-mantle origin is now well …

Seismology finds that Earth's solid inner core behaves anisotropically. Interpretation of this
requires a knowledge of crystalline elastic anisotropy of its constituents—the major phase …

Understanding how Earth's inner core (IC) develops and evolves, including fine details of its
structure and energy exchange across the boundary with the liquid outer core, helps us …

The inner core is a planet within a planet: a hot sphere with a mass of one hundred
quintillion tons of iron and nickel that lies more than 5000 kilometres beneath our feet. It …

We performed room-temperature sound velocity and density measurements on a
polycrystalline alloy, Fe0. 89Ni0. 04Si0. 07, in the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase up …

The melting line of cobalt has been investigated both experimentally, using synchrotron X-
ray diffraction coupled with laser-heated diamond anvil cells, and theoretically, using ab …

Progressive crystallization of Earth's inner core drives convection in the outer core and
magnetic field generation. Determining the rate and pattern of inner-core growth is thus …

We investigate the equation of state and elastic properties of hcp iron at high pressures and
high temperatures using the first-principles linear-response linear-muffin-tin-orbital method …

The seismological exploration of the Earth's inner core has revealed unexpected and
puzzling structural complexities. Its elastic anisotropy is now well established, and has been …

We have investigated the phase relations of iron and iron–nickel alloys with 18 to 50 wt.% Ni
up to over 300 GPa using a laser-heated diamond-anvil cell. The synchrotron X-ray …
