Abstract: Abstract The Debye model has been developed to investigate the pressure effects on melting point, Debye frequency and Debye temperature of iron metal. The analytical expressions of these thermodynamic quantities have been derived as functions of crystal volume compressibility. The pressure dependence of them is studied based on the well-established equation-of-state which includes the contributions of the anharmonic and electronic thermal pressures. We performed numerical calculations for iron up to pressure 350 GPa and compared with experimental data when possible. Our results show that the Debye frequency and Debye temperature increase rapidly with compression, and beyond 150 GPa they behave like linear functions of pressure. From the pressure-dependent melting point of iron, we deduce the temperatures of the Earth’s inner-outer core boundary (ICB) and core-mantle boundary (CMB). The temperatures of the Earth’s ICB and CMB are predicted lower than 5540(±170) K and about 4060 K, respectively. Graphical abstract
