Solid-liquid density and spin crossovers in (Mg, Fe)O system at deep mantle conditions

The low/ultralow-velocity zones in the Earth’s mantle can be explained by the presence of partial melting, critically depending on density contrast between the melt and surrounding solid mantle. Here, first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of (Mg, Fe) O ferropericlase in the solid and liqui...
