Ab initio determination on diffusion coefficient and viscosity of FeNi fluid under Earth’s core condition

Abstract The Earth’s outer core is mainly composed of Fe and Ni. The geodynamo of the Earth’s core are closely correlated with the transport properties of the fluid in the Earth’s core. We selected the typical FeNi fluid, and systemically calculated its diffusion coefficient and viscosity under Eart...
