Ni Doping: A Viable Route to Make Body-Centered-Cubic Fe Stable at Earth’s Inner Core

With the goal of answering the highly debated question of whether the presence of Ni at the Earth’s inner core can make body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe stable, we performed a computational study based on first-principles calculations on bcc, hexagonal closed packed (hcp), and face-centered cubic (fcc)...
