Аннотация: Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that Fe3C is more stable than Fe7C3 under PT-conditions of the Earth's core. Theoretical calculations at 0 K, in turn, show the possible stability of Fe2C at the core pressures. Therefore, a theoretical modeling of iron carbides at 100 GPa, Fe2C loses its magnetic moment. Assuming carbПоказать полностьюon to be the only light element in the system, the first-principles calculations yield 2.7-2.9 and 2.0-2.2 wt.% C at the boundary of the inner core at 5000 and 7000 K, respectively.
