Constraints on Earth’s inner core composition inferred from measurements of the sound velocity of hcp-iron in extreme conditions

Hexagonal close-packed iron (hcp-Fe) is a main component of Earth’s inner core. The difference in density between hcp-Fe and the inner core in the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM) shows a density deficit, which implies an existence of light elements in the core. Sound velocities then provide...
