Electrical resisitivity of Fe along the melting boundary and the change in resistivity from solid to liquid. (a) ρ at the first melt for pressures 3–12 GPa, compared to the earlier results4,10,60,61,62,63,64 obtained at 1 atm., 2.5, 3.8, 5.3 and 26 GPa. (b) The change in ρ on melting demonstrating an abrupt change in trend around 5 GPa. The triple point pressure32 is indicated by the arrow.
