Silicon isotope fractionation during magmatic differentiation
The Si isotopic composition of Earth's mantle is thought to be homogeneous (δ30Si=-0.29±0.08‰, 2s.d.) and not greatly affected by partial melting and recycling. Previous analyses of evolved igneous material indicate that such rocks are isotopically heavy relative to the mantle. To understand th...
