Figure 4
(Top, left) Fe Kβ emission for increasing pulse energies for (Fe0.5Mg0.5)O contained in a DAC at 100 GPa and after pressure loss. The difference from an LS reference (bottom, left) is slightly increasing with increasing pulse energies, hence implying an electronic spin-state increase. (Right) The IAD value (squares) and M1 shift (crosses) increase up to 200 µJ, after which it reaches a plateau. This would hint towards a value of average spin-state of S = . The (Fe0.5Mg0.5)O (200) diffraction-peak shift (see Fig. S7) suggests a linear increase of the temperature with rising pulse energy. At the highest pulse energy, the pressure collapsed, and the spin-state switched into a full HS. |
