CaSiO3 and CaTiO3 perovskite-melt partitioning of trace elements: Implications for gross mantle differentiation
We report the results of CaSiO3 perovskite-melt partitioning experiments conducted at conditions relevant to the uppermost lower mantle. Partition coefficients, measured by LA-ICPMS, show that CaSiO3 perovskite has a strong affinity for REE, Y, Th and U, making CaSiO3 the most likely host for these...
