Heavy iron isotopes leaking from Earth’s core

The inner core is likely composed of the hexagonal close packed phase of iron and located at the center of the Earth at pressures between 329 and 364 GPa and temperatures of ~5000 to ~6000 K. Credit: Ehime University

New insight into Earth’s crust, mantle and outer core interactions

This illustration shows how the changes in the electromagnetic properties of xenon, iron, and nickel under these intense pressures allow for the formation of XeFe3 and XeNi3.

Do you know where your xenon is?

Earth experienced multiple large impacts; the high-pressure and -temperature conditions caused pockets of core and mantle partitioning that persist as chemically distinct today.
