A latent heat method to detect melting and freezing of metals at megabar pressures

Zachary M. Geballe, Nicholas Holtgrewe, Amol Karandikar +3

The high-pressure melting curves of metals provide simple and useful tests for theories of melting, as well as important constraints for the modeling of planetary interiors. Here,…

Polymorphism of superionic ice

Vitali B. Prakapenka, Nicholas Holtgrewe, Sergey S. Lobanov +1

Water is abundant in natural environments but the form it resides in planetary interiors remains uncertain. We report combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscop…

Low thermal conductivity of iron-silicon alloys at Earth core conditions with implications for the geodynamo

Wen-Pin Hsieh, Alexander F. Goncharov, Stéphane Labrosse +5

Earth core is composed of iron (Fe) alloyed with light elements, e.g., silicon (Si). Its thermal conductivity critically affects Earth thermal structure, evolution, and dynamics, a…

Blocked radiative heat transport in the hot pyrolitic lower mantle

Sergey S. Lobanov, Nicholas Holtgrewe, Gen Ito +8

The heat flux across the core-mantle boundary (QCMB) is the key parameter to understand the Earth/s thermal history and evolution. Mineralogical constraints of the QCMB require dec…

Opaque Lowermost Mantle

Sergey S. Lobanov, François Soubiran, Nicholas Holtgrewe +3

Earth/s lowermost mantle displays complex geological structures that likely result from heterogeneous thermal and electromagnetic interaction with the core. Geophysical models of t…

Insulator-metal transition in liquid hydrogen and deuterium

Shuqing Jiang, Nicholas Holtgrewe, Zachary M. Geballe +4

The insulator-to-metal transition in dense fluid hydrogen is an essential phenomenon to understand gas giant planetary interiors and the physical and chemical behavior of highly co…
