Pressure dependence of metal–silicate partitioning explains the mantle phosphorus abundance
Abstract Previous experiments performed below 20 GPa suggested that the metal/silicate partition coefficient of phosphorus (P), D P, extrapolated to typical high-pressure and -temperature conditions of the Earth’s core formation gives too high P concentration in the core unless a large amount of sil...
