Le Bail fitting: results of the volume of Oxygen and the earth’s other core

• ~10 cc/mol (This EDX / Le Bail result) means there can be Oxygen in the Earth’s outer core.

• Other non diffraction results of ~15 cc/mol means there cannot be Oxygen (shockwave / molecular dynamics)

• Refer: “O2 volumes at high pressure from KClO4 decomposition: D" as a siderophile element pump instead of a lid on the core.” D. Walker, S.M. Clark, L.M.D. Cranswick, M.C. Johnson and R.L. Jones, (2002), Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G^3), submitted for publication.
