Potential of Earth's core as a reservoir for noble gases: case for helium and neon

This study investigates metal–silicate partitioning of neon (DNe) under the likely conditions of early Earth’s core formation: up to 16 GPa, ∼ 3000 K and an oxygen fugacity near IW-2 (2 log units below the Iron-Wüstite buffer). We find that the DNe coefficients range between 10−2 and 10−1. These par...
