Thermodynamics of rare earth element partitioning between clinopyroxene and melt in the system CaO - MgO - Al2O3 - SiO2

We use the experimental data of Gaetani and Grove (1995) on rare earth element (REE) partitioning between clinopyroxene and melt in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 to constrain the energetics of the coupled substitution REEAl[CaSi]-1. The data show that the partition coefficients DYb and DCe, and the...
