Abstract Single crystals of solid chlorine (Cl2) were synthesized at room temperature and high pressure (HP, P=1.45 GPa) in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). At these conditions Cl2 adapts the same structure as its corresponding low-temperature (LT) ambient pressure modification (T<172 K), as concluded from HP single crystal diffraction experiments. Namely, it crystallizes in an orthorhombic symmetry (Cmce spacegroup) with Cl2 molecules forming monolayers parallel to the bc plane and this structure is preserved up to at least 64 GPa. The pressure of 1.45 GPa is to be considered as a solidification point of liquid Cl2 at room temperature.

Abstract Precise determinations of the thermal conductivity of iron alloys at high pressures and temperatures are essential for understanding the thermal history and dynamics of the metallic cores of the Earth. We review relevant high-pressure experiments using a diamond-anvil cell and discuss implications of high core conductivity for its thermal and compositional evolution.
