An Experimental Examination of Thermal Conductivity Anisotropy in hcp Iron
The Earth's core mainly consists of iron, and its thermal transport properties are of vital importance for our understanding of the thermal evolution and the dynamics of the core and the mantle. However, the reported values of thermal conductivity of iron at the core conditions are so far incon...
