Viscosity of hcp iron at Earth’s inner core conditions from density functional theory

The inner core, extending to 1,221 km above the Earth’s center at pressures between 329 and 364 GPa, is primarily composed of solid iron. Its rheological properties influence both the Earth’s rotation and deformation of the inner core which is a potential source of the observed seismic anisotropy. H...
