Phonon density of states of iron up to 153 gigapascals.

چکیده
We report phonon densities of states (DOS) of iron measured by nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to 153 gigapascals and calculated from ab initio theory. Qualitatively, they are in agreement, but the theory predicts density at higher energies. From the DOS, we derive elastic and thermodynamic parameters of iron, including shear modulus, compressional and shear velocities, heat capacity, entropy, kinetic energy, zero-point energy, and Debye temperature. In comparison to the compressional and shear velocities from the preliminary reference Earth model (PREM) seismic model, our results suggest that Earth's inner core has a mean atomic number equal to or higher than pure iron, which is consistent with an iron-nickel alloy.

The Effects of High Pressure on the Vibrational and Magnetic Properties of Iron-Based Materials
Experimental methods are demonstrated for studying pressure-dependent material properties and solid phases unattainable at ambient pressure with high-pressure synchrotron nuclear resonance techniques. Pressure presents an intriguing experimental parameter for investigating the problem of excess low-energy (<12 meV) vibrational modes in nanocrystalline materials. A satisfactory explanation for t...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy of iron to 152 gigapascals: implications for Earth's inner core
Raman spectra of hexagonal close-packed iron (varepsilon-Fe) have been measured from 15 to 152 gigapascals by using diamond-anvil cells with ultrapure synthetic diamond anvils. The results give a Gruneisen parameter gamma(0) = 1.68 (+/-0.20) and q = 0.7 (+/-0.5). Phenomenological modeling shows that the Raman-active mode can be approximately correlated with an acoustic phonon and thus provides ...
متن کاملPhonon Spectroscopy of Oriented Hcp Iron
High-pressure phonon spectroscopy was performed on iron in the bcc and hcp phase up to 40 GPa using the nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) of synchrotron radiation (SR). In hcp iron we observe differences in the density of phonon states for spectra measured with different orientations of the diamond anvil cell (DAC) with respect to the SR beam. These differences are attributed to a preferred or...
