Open AccessSuperionic effect and anisotropic texture in Earth’s inner core driven by geomagnetic field
Seismological observations suggest that Earth’s inner core (IC) is heterogeneous and anisotropic. Increasing seismological observations make the understanding of the mineralogy and mechanism for the complex IC...

Superionic iron alloys and their seismic velocities in Earth’s inner core
Earth’s inner core (IC) is less dense than pure iron, indicating the existence of light elements within it1. Silicon, sulfur, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen have been suggested to be the candidates2,3, and the prope...

Superionic iron oxide–hydroxide in Earth’s deep mantle
Water ice becomes a superionic phase under the high pressure and temperature conditions of deep planetary interiors of ice planets such as Neptune and Uranus, which affects interior structures and generates ma...

First-principles investigations on the formation of H2O defects in lizardite with influence on the elastic property
Dehydration of hydrous minerals is the key for understanding the partial melting and earthquakes taking place at subduction zones. It has been reported that a large amount of H2O defects (HD) can be formed during...
