The Fe-Ni phase diagram and the Earth's inner core structure
Liangrui Wei, Kai-Ming Ho, Renata M. Wentzcovitch +1
The Fe-Ni alloy is believed to be the main component of Earth's core. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of phase equilibria near the melting point of this alloy under core conditi…

Understanding the two-step nucleation of iron at Earth's inner core conditions: a comparative molecular dynamics study
Chen Gao, Kai-Ming Ho, Renata M. Wentzcovitch +1
Metastable phases can lead to multistep nucleation processes, influencing the liquid-to-solid transition in various systems. In this study, we investigate the homogeneous nucleatio…
