Liquid Fe-C-S Alloy Structure and Density at Lunar Core Conditions

Raw X-ray diffraction and absorption data for liquid iron-carbon-sulfur alloys measured under high pressure and temperature conditions simulating the Moon's core. The dataset includes Python codes for analyzing diffraction and absorption data and Matlab codes for pressure-temperature calibration. It was produced by Bin Zhao of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

Use Cases

• Calibrating pressure-temperature conditions based on the included Matlab codes.
• Analyzing X-ray diffraction patterns of liquid alloys using the provided Python codes.
• Studying the absorption properties of Fe-C-S melts under extreme conditions.
• Modeling the density and structure of the lunar core based on experimental data.

Strengths

• Includes raw experimental data for diffraction and absorption measurements.
• Provides associated analysis codes in Python and Matlab for reproducibility.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
