High Sodium Solubility in Magnesiowüstite in Iron-Rich Deep Lower Mantle
Marco Cantoni, James Badro, Susannah McGregor Dorfman, Farhang Nabiei
(Mg,Fe)O ferropericlase-magnesiow & uuml;stite has been proposed to host the majority of Earth's sodium, but the mechanism and capacity for incorporating the alkali cation remain unclear. In this work, experiments in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell and ...
Amer Geophysical Union2024New tools for phase segmentation and denoising of analytical STEM data for enhanced chemical sensitivity, applied to Earth mantle research
This thesis is dedicated to developing innovative methodologies that improve elemental quantification in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The primary motivation stems from a geochemistry pr ...
EPFL2023Investigating Magma Ocean Solidification on Earth Through Laser‐Heated Diamond Anvil Cell Experiments
Philippe Gillet, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Charles-Edouard Boukaré
We carried out a series of silicate fractional crystallization experiments at lower mantle pressures using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Phase relations and the compositional evolution of the cotectic melt and equilibrium solids along the liquid lin ...
2021The Effects of Planetary and Stellar Parameters on Brittle Lithospheric Thickness
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap
The thicknesss of the brittle lithosphere—the outer portion of a planetary body that fails via fracturing— plays a key role in the geological processes of that body. The properties of both a planet and its host star can influence that thickness, and the po ...
2021Effects of composition and pressure on electronic states of iron in bridgmanite
Arnaud Magrez, Philippe Gillet, Susannah McGregor Dorfman
Electronic states of iron in the lower mantle's dominant mineral, (Mg,Fe,Al)(Fe,Al,Si)O-3 bridgmanite, control physical properties of the mantle including density, elasticity, and electrical and thermal conductivity. However, the determination of electroni ...
MINERALOGICAL SOC AMER2020Blocked radiative heat transport in the hot pyrolitic lower mantle
James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Hélène Marie Piet
The heat flux across the core-mantle boundary (Q(CMB)) is the key parameter to understand the Earth's thermal history and evolution. Mineralogical constraints of the Q(CMB) require deciphering contributions of the lattice and radiative components to the th ...
ELSEVIER2020A New Reference for the Thermal Equation of State of Iron
The high-pressure, high-temperature behavior of iron was investigated to 140 GPa and 3500 K with in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Iron samples were compressed in diamond-anvil cells and heated up with the double-sided laser-heating system installed a ...
MDPI2020Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Molten Fe-Si-O in Earth's Core
Silicon and oxygen are potential light elements in Earth's core because their stronger affinity to metal observed with increasing temperature posits that significant amounts of both can be incorporated into the core. It was proposed that an Fe-Si-O liquid ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2019Reply to Comment by Jennings et al. on "Investigating Earth's Formation History Through Copper and Sulfur Metal-Silicate Partitioning During Core-Mantle Differentiation"
Recognizing existing materials that can act as proxies for Earth's building blocks, and understanding the accretionary pathway taken during Earth's growth, persist as outstanding issues in need of resolution. In Mahan, Siebert, Blanchard, Badro, et al. (20 ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2019Porous networks based on iron(ii) clathrochelate complexes
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, José Luis Bila, Emilie Baudat, Andrea Luca Ramorini, Joffrey Vincent Michel Pijeat
Microporous networks based on boronate ester-capped iron(II) clathrochelate complexes are described. The networks were obtained by covalent cross-linking of tetrabrominated clathrochelate complexes via Suzuki–Miyaura polycross-coupling reactions with dibor ...
