First-Principles Study of Elastic Properties of Fe-Mg alloy at Earth’s core pressure

The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the elastic properties of an fcc FeMg alloy with 10 at.% magnesium under high pressure. Recent research has shown that magnesium can be a possible candidate for light element impurities in the Earth’s inner core, something that was previously not co...
