Melting phase relations in the MgSiO3–CaSiO3 system at 24 GPa

Melting phase relations in the MgSiO3–CaSiO3 system at 24 GPa

Abstract The Earth’s lower mantle is composed of bridgmanite, ferropericlase, and CaSiO3-rich perovskite. The melting phase relations between each component are key to understanding the melting of the Earth’s lower mantle and the crystallization of the deep magma ocean. In this study, melting phase...
