Reconciliation of Experiments and Theory on Transport Properties of Iron and the Geodynamo
Reconciliation of Experiments and Theory on Transport Properties of Iron and the Geodynamo
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 Konopkova et al.(2016) measured electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of iron, respectively, in laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DACs) at relevant Earth's …
