Understanding the electronic transport properties of iron under high temperatures and pressures is essential for constraining geophysical processes. The difficulty of reliably measuring these properties under Earth-core conditions calls for sophisticated theoretical methods that can support diagnostics. We present results of the electrical conductivity within the pressure and temperature ranges found in Earth’s core from simulating microscopic Ohm’s law using time-dependent density functional theory. Our predictions provide a new perspective on resolving discrepancies in recent experiments.
