The authors new p-V-T Equation of State is tested against the available experiments of epsilon iron. The root-mean-square-deviations (RMSD) of the molar volume, pressure, and temperature are 0.021 cm3, 2.0 GPa and 144.9 K respectively. Separating the experiments into 200 K ranges the new EoS was compared to the most widely used finite strain, interatomic potential, and empirical isothermal EoSs such as the Burch-Murnaghan, the Vinet, and the Roy-Roy respectively. Correlation coefficients, RMSDs of the residuals and Akaike Information Criteria were used for evaluating the fittings. Based on these fitting parameters the new p-V-T EoS is equal or better than the conventional isothermal EoSs. The newly defined parameters were used to calculate the density of the inner core. The calculated densities are significantly lower than the current consensus indicating that it might be too early excluding the possibility of a pure iron-nickel core with no light elements.

Collecting the complete data set of previous experiments on periclase, covering a pressure and temperature range of 0-141.8 GPa and 100-3031 K respectively, the first comprehensive P-V-T description of MgO is presented comprising all previous experim ents. The P-V-T EoS of Birch-Murnaghan, Rydberg-Vinet and Garai are determined by unrestricted fitting. The three EoSs are consistent and a unique set of parameters is able to cover the entire pressure and temperature range. The RMS misfits for the pressure are 0.371 GPa, 0.381 GPa and 0.396 GPa for the Garai, Birch-Murnaghan and Rydberg-Vinet EoSs. The RMS misfits for the volume and the temperature are 0.018 cm3 and 60.3 K for the EoS of Garai.
The electronic state and transport properties of hot dense iron are of the utmost importance to geophysics. Combining the density functional and dynamical mean field theories we study the impact of electron correlations on electrical and thermal resi stivity of hexagonal close-packed $epsilon$-Fe at Earths core conditions. $epsilon$-Fe is found to behave as a nearly perfect Fermi liquid. The quadratic dependence of the scattering rate in Fermi liquids leads to a modification of the Wiedemann-Franz law with suppression of the thermal conductivity as compared to the electrical one. This significantly increases the electron-electron thermal resistivity which is found to be of comparable magnitude to the electron-phonon one. The implications of this effect on the dynamics of Earths core is discussed.
The Earth acts as a gigantic heat engine driven by decay of radiogenic isotopes and slow cooling, which gives rise to plate tectonics, volcanoes, and mountain building. Another key product is the geomagnetic field, generated in the liquid iron core b y a dynamo running on heat released by cooling and freezing to grow the solid inner core, and on chemical convection due to light elements expelled from the liquid on freezing. The power supplied to the geodynamo, measured by the heat-flux across the core-mantle boundary (CMB), places constraints on Earths evolution. Estimates of CMB heat-flux depend on properties of iron mixtures under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions in the core, most critically on the thermal and electrical conductivities. These quantities remain poorly known because of inherent difficulties in experimentation and theory. Here we use density functional theory to compute these conductivities in liquid iron mixtures at core conditions from first principles- the first directly computed values that do not rely on estimates based on extrapolations. The mixtures of Fe, O, S, and Si are taken from earlier work and fit the seismologically-determined core density and inner-core boundary density jump. We find both conductivities to be 2-3 times higher than estimates in current use. The changes are so large that core thermal histories and power requirements must be reassessed. New estimates of adiabatic heat-flux give 15-16 TW at the CMB, higher than present estimates of CMB heat-flux based on mantle convection; the top of the core must be thermally stratified and any convection in the upper core driven by chemical convection against the adverse thermal buoyancy or lateral variations in CMB heat flow. Power for the geodynamo is greatly restricted and future models of mantle evolution must incorporate a high CMB heat-flux and explain recent formation of the inner core.
We use a two-fluid model combining the quantum Greens function technique for the electrons and a classical HNC description for the ions to calculate the high-density equation of state of hydrogen. This approach allows us to describe fully ionized pla smas of any electron degeneracy and any ionic coupling strength which are important for the modeling of a variety of astrophysical objects and inertial confinement fusion targets. We have also performed density functional molecular dynamics simulations (DFT-MD) and show that the data obtained agree with our approach in the high density limit. Good agreement is also found between DFT-MD and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The thermodynamic properties of dense hydrogen can thus be obtained for the entire density range using only calculations in the physical picture.

By constructing the commutative operators chain, we derive the integrable conditions for solving the eigenfunctions of Dirac equation and Schrodinger equation. These commutative relations correspond to the intrinsic symmetry of the physical system, w hich are equivalent to the original partial differential equation can be solved by separation of variables. Detailed calculation shows that, only a few cases can be completely solved by separation of variables. In general cases, we have to solve the Dirac equation and Schrodinger equation by effective perturbation or approximation methods, especially in the cases including nonlinear potential or self interactive potentials.
