New measurement of melting and thermal conductivity of iron close to outer core conditions

The amount of literature on both melting and thermal conductivity of iron at Earth’s core conditions is overwhelming and the discrepancies are very large. There is a broad range of experimental techniques each of which is flawed to a certain degree, which may explain the discrepancy. In this report,...
