Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydrogen in the Earth's core is believed to have a key role in the structure and dynamics of Earth's core. However, the behavior of hydrogen in the core and its abundance remain an open question. For the purpose of elucidate the crystal structure, phase relation, and properties of iron-hydrogen system under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions corresponding to the Earth's core, we have upgraded and established high-pressure and high-temperature in-situ powder X-ray diffraction techniques for metal-hydrogen system. A structural phase transition into a new high-pressure phase was confirmed above 85 GPa and 1500 K. Because the abundance of hydrogen in the Earth's core was based on prossible stability of double-hexagonal-close-packed structure under the Earth's core conditions, the discovery of the new phase gives a new model for hydrogen in the Earth's core.
