Crystal structure of iron at inner core conditions
Three known phases• Body-centered cubic (bcc)
– Observed to 10 GPa
• Face-centered cubic (fcc)– Observed to ~60-100 GPa
• Hexagonal close-packed (hcp)– Only phase observed above
100 GPa
But: no experimental determinations of structure at inner core conditions (yet)

Crystal Structure of Inner Core
Ross et al., JGR, 1990Belonoshko et al., Nature, 2003
Some soft-sphere interatomic potentials predict bcc stable at high temperatures
Could the inner core be made of bcc?

Two stabilization mechanisms:
Low P: Magnetism
High P: Distortion

Types of InstabilityThermodynamic instability
•At least one other phase with lower Gibbs free energy. •Phase may still exist in a metastable state (kinetics). •Phase occupies local minimum on energy surface. •Examples: Quenchable phases, Metamorphic rocks
Mechanical instability •Phase spontaneously decays. •Occupies local maximum or saddle point on energy surface. •Phase is not observable. •Examples: Many displacive phase transformations

Influence of temperature?
Vocadlo et al, Nature (2003)
![Page 12: Mineral Physics of the Core](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fdd550346895dbda5f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Thermal restabilization of bcc? No…
In the canonical ensemble (NVT fixed) a condition of hydrostatic stress is a necessary but not sufficient condition for mechanical stability
The stress tensor of bcc iron at static conditions (where all agree on mechanical instability) is hydrostatic!
The fact that the stress tensor of bcc iron in a canonical md simulation is hydrostatic is therefore not a demonstration of mechanical stability
Previous arguments that the instability is much too large to be overcome by temperature are not contradicted.
Test: compute stress tensor and/or free energy in a strained configuration (as was done in the static calculations).

Chemical stabilization of the bcc structure?
Lin et al. (2002) find that addition of Si expands bcc stability field
Maximum pressure < 1Mbar
Vocadlo et al. (2003) find that substitution of Si, S is more favorable in bcc phase
Which substitution mechanism?

Core chemistry25 elements lighter than iron
Hypothesis testing: two extreme models of major element core composition
1. identical to that of the meteorites from which earth formed
2. Set by equlibration with the mantle after core formation
Can we eliminate either of these on the basis of property matching alone?

Conclusions
Inner core is likely to be made of hcp iron. Caveat: light element stabilization of a different phase cannot be ruled out at present.
Iron is elastically anisotropic at inner core conditions. Magnitude is at least as large as that seen seismologically. Sense appears to depend on temperature.
Estimates of inner core temperature based on elasticity and melting are converging to a value near 5600 K.

Application of Theory
Exactly soluble only for H atomInsolubility particularly severe for real, i.e. natural, i.e. geological materialsBasic difference in approach between earth science and physics/chemistry
"The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble." - Dirac (1929) Proc. Roy. Soc (London) 123, 714

What to do?Experiment (Birch, 1952)Because simple theories fail, in situ experimental measurement at high pressure is essential.Intelligent, semi-empirical methods of interpolation and extrapolation of limited data are also critical, e.g. finite strain theory.
First principles theory (Bukowinski, 1976)Must go beyond “back-of-the-envelope” model of electronic structure for the earth.Replace simple model of the charge density with self-consistent quantum mechanical treatment of charge density and potential.This cannot be done exactly.Density functional theory appears to be sufficiently accurate to address key geophysical questions.

Structure of hcp iron: c/a• Increases with increasing
temperature• Values much greater than
ideal• Anticipate slower elastic
wave propagation along c• Computation of full elastic
constant tensor confirms ~12% slower

Temperature of core?
Uncertainties in freezing point depression now outweigh uncertainties in melting curve of iron
Other approaches?
Elasticity of inner core
