Metal-silicate partitioning of Mo and W at high pressures and temperatures: Evidence for late accretion of sulphur to the Earth

In order to place better constraints on the conditions of core formation on Earth and other planetary bodies we have performed experiments to determine the partitioning of Mo and W between liquid Fe-rich metal and liquid silicate at pressures of 1.5-24GPa and temperatures of 1803-2723K. Experiments...
