Anomalous pressure-dependent viscosity of basaltic melts and its role in asthenosphere melt accumulation
Hongkun Zeng, Peiyu Zhang, Liang Yuan +3
The asthenosphere's mechanical weakness enables plate tectonics, but its origin is debated. Partial melt has been proposed to cause this softening, yet recent studies suggest that…
Reconciliation of experiments and theory on transport properties of iron and the geodynamo
Zhang Youjun, Hou Mingqiang, Liu Guangtao +6
The amount of heat transport from the core, which constrains the dynamics and thermal evolution of the region, depends on the transport properties of iron. Ohta et al.(2016) and Ko…
Fe alloy slurry and a compacting cumulate pile across Earth's inner-core boundary
Youjun Zhang, Peter Nelson, Nick Dygert +1
Seismic observations show a reduced compressional-wave gradient at the base of the outer core relative to the preliminary reference Earth model and seismic wave asymmetry between t…
Synthesis of clathrate cerium superhydride CeH9 below 100 GPa with atomic hydrogen sublattice
Nilesh P. Salke, M. Mahdi Davari Esfahani, Youjun Zhang +7
Hydrogen-rich superhydrides are believed to be very promising high-Tc superconductors as they are expected to mimic characteristics of metallic hydrogen. Recent experiments discove…
