| contents | Constraining the melting temperature of iron under Earth's inner core conditions is crucial for understanding core dynamics and planetary evolution. Here, we develop a deep potential (DP) model for iron that explicitly incorporates electronic entropy contributions governing thermodynamics under Earth's core conditions. Extensive benchmarking demonstrates the DP's high fidelity across relevant iron phases and extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Through thermodynamic integration and direct solid-liquid coexistence simulations, the DP predicts melting temperatures for iron at the inner core boundary, consistent with previous \textit{ab initio} results. This resolves the previous discrepancy of iron's melting temperature at ICB between the DP model and \textit{ab initio} calculation and suggests the crucial contribution of electronic entropy. Our work provides insights into machine learning melting behavior of iron under core conditions and provides the basis for future development of binary or ternary DP models for iron and other elements in the core. |
