High pressure melting of wüstite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iron oxide (FeO) is an important component in the mineralogy of Earth's lower mantle, and possibly its core, so its phase diagram is essential to models of the planet's interior. The melting curve of wüstite, Fe0.94O, was determined up to 77 GPa and 3100 K in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Melting transition temperatures were identified from discontinuities in the emissivity vs. temperature relationship within the laser-heated spot. The melting curve exhibits no obvious kinks that could be related to a subsolidus transition in wüstite, but there is evidence for a two-phase loop at pressures below 30 GPa. Comparison of these results to previous studies on Fe, Fe-O, and Fe-S confirms that the melting point depression in the FeO system remains significantly less, by a factor of 2 or more, than that in the Fe-S system up to pressures exceeding 80 GPa.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Potassium Chloride Melting (II. Constant Volume and Constant Pressure Simulation of Filled System)
We have used a simple ionic potential to simulate the melting of KCI pseudo-infinite crystal. Two MD simulations, one with constant Volume and the other with constant pressure condition are performed. These results are compared with the previous micro-sample simulation results. In the constant volume simulation the melting temperature increase substantially with increasing pressure. A method fo...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed on polycrystalline Fe1−xO swüstited up to 20.3 GPa using a large-volume moissanite anvil cell at room temperature to examine the existence of long-range magnetic ordering in the high-pressure rhombohedral phase of the material. This investigation is crucial for understanding the nature of high-pressure phase transitions in Fe1−xO. Low tempera...

Knowledge of the melting properties of materials, especially at extreme pressure conditions, represents a long-standing scientific challenge. For instance, there is currently considerable uncertainty over the melting temperatures of the high-pressure mantle mineral, bridgmanite (MgSiO3-perovskite), with current estimates of the melting T at the base of the mantle ranging from 4800 K to 8000 K. ...
