Equations of State, Sound Velocities, and Thermoelasticity of Iron-Nickel-Silicon Alloys in the Earth’s Inner Core
<p>The core of the Earth is predominately iron alloyed with approximately 5 wt% nickel along with some amount of light elements, e.g., Si, O, S, C, H, Mg. Mineral physics studies, in conjunction with seismological and cosmochemical observations, provide an opportunity to improve constraints on...
