Melting points from our study (green symbols with grid) compared with the previous studies of Jackson et al. (2013) (red), Anzellini et al. (2013) (solid curves), Morard et al. (2018) (blue), Boehler (1993) and Sinmyo et al. (2019). Our uncertainty in the melting point is constrained by the triangles – the left corners are the starting pressure at room temperature and the black squares are pressures after accounting for the additional thermal pressure (Dewaele et al., 2006). We applied this representation also to the data of Jackson et al. (2013) and Morard et al. (2018) to emphasize the variation in the assumed thermal pressure by different authors. Plain symbols in our data mean no melting was detected. Stacking faults were detected at pressures above 100 GPa. The temperature error is estimated as 10% of the temperature value. |
