Abstract

Surface observations suggest that carbon may exist in Mercury’s interior. Under planetary mantle pressures and temperatures, carbon may be present as a stable diamond layer which may have important implications for the physical and chemical properties of Mercury.

摘要

地面观测表明碳可能存在于水星内部。在行星地幔的压力和温度条件下，碳可能以稳定的钻石层形式存在，这可能对水星的物理和化学性质具有重要意义。
