Oxygen Solubility in Iron Melts at High Pressures and Temperatures: Experimental Constraints on Terrestrial Planetary Core Formation
Abstract
Solubility of oxygen was investigated experimentally in Fe-rich portions of Fe-FeO and Fe-O-S systems at HP and HT (15 and 23 GPa, 1500°-2000°C). Our results indicate an increase of oxygen solubility with increasing pressure at eutectic conditions.
