The effect of Si on metal-silicate partitioning of siderophile elements and implications for the conditions of core formation

We have determined the liquid metal-liquid silicate partitioning of Ni, Co, Mo, W, V, Cr and Nb at 1.5. GPa/1923. K and 6. GPa/2123. K under conditions of constant silicate melt composition with variable amounts of Si in the Fe-rich metallic liquid. Partitioning of Ni, Co, Mo, W and V is sensitive t...
