Experimental observation of a new attenuation mechanism in hcp-metals that may operate in the Earth's inner core

Seismic observations show the Earth's inner core has significant and unexplained variation in seismic attenuation with position, depth and direction. Interpreting these observations is difficult without knowledge of the visco- or anelastic dissipation processes active in iron under inner core c...
