Ferropericlase under extreme condition: Dynamic compression approach

This study focuses on the behavior of ferropericlase under extreme conditions that simulate the environment near the core-mantle boundary (CMB) and within the outer core, at pressures around 130 GPa and temperatures of about 3500 K related to a depth of approximately 2800 km by using shock compression experiments. This study aims at deepening understanding of ferropericlase's role in geophysical processes occurring at extreme conditions within Earth’s interior, ultimately contributing valuable insights into core formation theories and mantle dynamics. To investigate these properties, we synthesized ferropericlase (Fe0.40Mg0.60O) samples resembling pyrolytic mantle composition suitable for dynamic compression experiments.
