摘要:

Fe、Mg和O是类地行星中最丰富的元素。虽然Fe-O、Mg-O和Fe-Mg二元系在压力下的行为已经被研究过,但是对于Fe-Mg-O三元系在相应的地核和超地幔压力下的研究仍然很少。在这里,我们使用自适应遗传算法(AGA)研究三元Fe $_x$ Mg $_y$ O $_z$相在很宽的化学计量比范围内在200 GPa和350 GPa。我们发现了三个动态稳定的化学计量相FeMg $_2$ O $_4$,Fe $_2$ MgO $_4$,和FeMg $_3$ O $_4$具有较低的焓比任何已知的组合的Fe-Mg-O高压化合物在350 GPa。随着这些相的发现,我们构造了Fe-Mg-O三元凸包。我们进一步澄清的组成和压力依赖的结构图案与分析的AGA发现的稳定和亚稳结构。二元和三元稳定相的分析表明,O,Mg,或两者都可以稳定BCC铁合金在内核压力。

英文摘要:

Fe, Mg, and O are among the most abundant elements in terrestrial planets. While the behavior of the Fe-O, Mg-O, and Fe-Mg binary systems under pressure have been investigated, there are still very few studies of the Fe-Mg-O ternary system at relevant Earth's core and super-Earth's mantle pressures. Here, we use the adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) to study ternary Fe$_x$Mg$_y$O$_z$ phases in a wide range of stoichiometries at 200 GPa and 350 GPa. We discovered three dynamically stable phases with stoichiometries FeMg$_2$O$_4$, Fe$_2$MgO$_4$, and FeMg$_3$O$_4$ with lower enthalpy than any known combination of Fe-Mg-O high-pressure compounds at 350 GPa. With the discovery of these phases, we construct the Fe-Mg-O ternary convex hull. We further clarify the composition- and pressure-dependence of structural motifs with the analysis of the AGA-found stable and metastable structures. Analysis of binary and ternary stable phases suggest that O, Mg, or both could stabilize a BCC iron alloy at inner core pressures.
