Carbon-depleted outer core revealed by sound velocity measurements of liquid iron–carbon alloy
The relative abundance of light elements in the Earth's core has long been controversial. Recently, the presence of carbon in the core has been emphasized, because the density and sound velocities of the inner core may be consistent with solid Fe(7)C(3). Here we report the longitudinal wave vel...
