Temperature of Earth's core constrained from melting of Fe and Fe_0.9Ni_0.1 at high pressures

Journal Article Zhang, Dongzhou ; Jackson, Jennifer M. ; Zhao, Jiyong ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The melting points of fcc- and hcp-structured Fe_0.9Ni_0.1 and Fe are measured up to 125 GPa using laser heated diamond anvil cells, synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy, and a recently developed fast temperature readout spectrometer. The onset of melting is detected by a characteristic drop in the time integrated synchrotron Mfissbauer signal which is sensitive to atomic motion. The thermal pressure experienced by the samples is constrained by X-ray diffraction measurements under high pressures and temperatures. The obtained best-fit melting curves of fcc-structured Fe and Fe_0.9Ni_0.1 fall within the wide region bounded by previous studies. We are able to derive the gamma-ismore »« less

Elastic and magnetic properties of Fe₃P up to core pressures: Phosphorus in the Earth's core

Journal Article Lai, Xiaojing ; Zhu, Feng ; Liu, Yingxin ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

Phosphorus (P) is considered a possible light element alloying with iron (Fe) in the Earth's core due to its siderophile nature and the ubiquity of P-bearing iron alloys in iron meteorites. The sequestration of P by liquid metals during the core formation possibly results in the relatively low concentration of P in the bulk silicate Earth. Here, we performed single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy and nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering measurements in diamond anvil cells to investigate the elastic and magnetic properties of Fe₃P under high pressures. Our X-ray diffraction results suggest that there is no structural phase transition up to 111 GPa. However, a volume collapse was observed at 21.5 GPa in Fe₃P, ascribed to a magnetic transition as evidenced by synchrotron Mhssbauer spectroscopy results. Fitting the volume-pressure data by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state gives bulk modulusmore »« less

Pressure Dependence of the Liquidus and Solidus Temperatures in the Fe-P Binary System Determined by In Situ Ultrasonics: Implications to the Solidification of Fe-P Liquids in Planetary Cores

Journal Article Chantel, Julien ; Jing, Zhicheng ; Xu, Man ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Planets

We have developed a new technique for determining the liquidus and eutectic (or solidus) temperatures of Fe–light element alloys at high pressures in a multianvil apparatus, by studying ultrasonic wave propagation through the sample. While the onset of melting is manifested by the loss of both compressional (P–) and shear (S–) wave signals due to the scattering of sound waves by partial melts, the completion of melting is confirmed by the reappearance of the P wave signal when the scattering due to residual crystals disappears. By applying this technique to the Fe–P binary system with three different phosphorus contents, wemore »« less

Anomalous density and elastic properties of basalt at high pressure: Reevaluating of the effect of melt fraction on seismic velocity in the Earth's crust and upper mantle

Journal Article Clark, Alisha N. ; Lesher, Charles E. ; Jacobsen, Steven D. ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Independent measurements of the volumetric and elastic properties of Columbia River basalt glass were made up to 5.5 GPa by high-pressure X-ray microtomography and GHz-ultrasonic interferometry, respectively. The Columbia River basalt displays P and S wave velocity minima at 4.5 and 5 GPa, respectively, violating Birch’s law. These data constrain the pressure dependence of the density and elastic moduli at high pressure, which cannot be modeled through usual equations of state nor determined by stepwise integrating the bulk sound velocity as is common practice. We propose a systematic variation in compression behavior of silicate glasses that is dependent on themore »« less

Metastable silica high pressure polymorphs as structural proxies of deep Earth silicate melts

Journal Article Bykova, E. ; Bykov, M. ; Černok, A. ; ... - Nature Communications

Modelling of processes involving deep Earth liquids requires information on their structures and compression mechanisms. However, knowledge of the local structures of silicates and silica (SiO₂) melts at deep mantle conditions and of their densification mechanisms is still limited. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of metastable high-pressure silica phases, coesite-IV and coesite-V, using in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ab initio simulations. Their crystal structures are drastically different from any previously considered models, but explain well features of pair-distribution functions of highly densified silica glass and molten basalt at high pressure. Built of four, five-, and six-coordinated silicon,more »« less
