چکیده
We report structural data on liquid iron at pressures up to 58 GPa measured by x-ray scattering in a laser heated diamond anvil cell. The determined structure factor preserves essentially the same shape along the melting curve. Our data demonstrate that liquid iron at high pressures is a close-packed hard-sphere liquid. The results place important constraints on the thermodynamic and transport properties of liquid iron and the melting curve of iron.

Thermodynamics and Equations of State of Iron to 350 GPa and 6000 K
The equations of state for solid (with bcc, fcc, and hcp structures) and liquid phases of Fe were defined via simultaneous optimization of the heat capacity, bulk moduli, thermal expansion, and volume at room and higher temperatures. The calculated triple points at the phase diagram have the following parameters: bcc-fcc-hcp is located at 7.3 GPa and 820 K, bcc-fcc-liquid at 5.2 GPa and 1998 K,...
متن کاملStructural changes in liquid Fe at high pressures and high temperatures from Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction
– High-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements on liquid iron in the vicinity of the δ-γ-liquid triple point (to 2300 K and 5 GPa) reveal significant changes in the structure of the liquid upon increasing pressure and temperature. The second and third neighbor shells in the g(r) shift to shorter distances and develop new structure with increasing pressure. The results can be interpret...
متن کاملCompressed Liquid Densities for Binary Mixtures at Temperatures from 280- 440K at Pressures up to 200 MPa
A method for predicting liquid densities of binary mixtures from heat of vaporization and liquid densityat boiling point temperature (ΔHvap and n b ρ ) as scaling constants, is presented. B2(T) follows a promisingcorresponding-states principle. Calculation of α(T) and b(T), the two other temperature-dependentconstants of the equation of state, are made possible by scaling. As a result ΔHvap and...
متن کاملIron silicides at pressures of the Earth’s inner core
[1] The Earth’s core is expected to contain around 10 wt % light elements (S, Si, O, possibly C, H, etc.) alloyed with Fe and Ni. Very little is known about these alloys at pressures and temperatures of the core. Here, using the evolutionary crystal structure prediction methodology, we investigate FeSi compounds at pressures of up to 400 GPa, i.e. covering the pressure range of the Earth’s core...
متن کاملPartitioning of Oxygen between Magnesiowüstite and Liquid Iron: Consequences for the Early Differentiation of Terrestrial Planets
Introduction: The partitioning of oxygen between silicates and liquid Fe-rich metallic alloy is a key factor in controlling chemical differentiation during core formation in terrestrial planets [1]. This is because oxygen partitioning determines the oxygen fugacity uniquely for a given bulk composition and therefore controls the partitioning of Fe and other siderophile elements during core form...
