Resistivity of solid and liquid Fe–Ni–Si with applications to the cores of Earth, Mercury and Venus

Abstract Electrical resistivity measurements of Fe–10wt%Ni–10wt%Si have been performed in a multi-anvil press from 3 to 20 GPa up to 2200 K. The temperature and pressure dependences of electrical resistivity are analyzed in term of changes in the electron mean free path. Similarities in the thermal...
