The physical properties of Fe alloys depend on their composition. Changes in c/a ratio, center shifts, and elastic properties of Fe and Fe–Ni alloys were reported previously. However, such properties of Fe light-element alloys have not yet been extensively studied. Si is a plausible candidate as a light element in planetary cores. Therefore, we studied the electronic properties and compressional behavior of Fe-Si alloys with a hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) structure under high pressure using synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy (SMS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Center shifts (CS) were observed at pressures of 21.4–45.3 GPa for Fe-2.8wt%Si and of 30.9–62.2 GPa for Fe-6.1wt%Si. Some of SMS and XRD measurements were performed under the same conditions using a newly developed system at the BL10XU beamline …}, pages = {1959--1965}, title = {Electronic properties and compressional behavior of Fe–Si alloys at high pressure}, volume = {103}, year = {2018} }
