Natural Clinopyroxene Reference Materials for In Situ Microanalysis

Wenjun Li et al.

Summary: Two clinopyroxene megacrysts, DMP-2 and DMP-3, from Cenozoic alkali basalts in Hannuoba region of China were characterized for major and trace element compositions through in situ microanalysis. Both clinopyroxene samples showed homogeneity in element mass fractions based on EPMA and LA-ICP-MS analyses. Bulk analyses using XRF, ICP-OES and solution ICP-MS techniques also revealed consistent major and trace element data. Thus, these samples can serve as potential reference materials for elemental in situ microanalysis, with recommended element mass fractions for thirty-two elements.

High-Spatial-Resolution Measurement of Water Content in Olivine Using NanoSIMS 50L

Rui-Ying Li et al.

Summary: This study optimized the primary beam settings and raster size for water content analysis of olivine using a CAMECA NanoSIMS 50L, improving the spatial resolution and background simultaneously. The results showed that a spatial resolution of about 6 μm with a background of 6 +/- 2 ppm could be achieved using specific beam settings and raster size. The method improved the spatial resolution for measuring water content by a factor of about 2 and can be applied to olivine grains with complex zoning.

A speciation model linking the fate of carbon and hydrogen during core - magma ocean equilibration

Fabrice Gaillard et al.

Summary: This passage discusses the impact of core-mantle differentiation in magma oceans on the essential elements for life, carbon and hydrogen, as well as their changes under different pressure, temperature, and redox conditions. Experimental data shows that species of carbon and hydrogen vary at different pressures, with CH4 dominating at high pressure.

The metal-silicate partitioning of carbon during Earth's accretion and its distribution in the early solar system

I. Blanchard et al.

Summary: Carbon plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of Earth, and its distribution and partitioning mechanism have been revealed through experiments and modeling. The study provides a new parameterization formula and shows that carbon mainly originates from carbonaceous chondrite material from the outer solar system during Earth's accretion process.

Aluminum and hydrogen partitioning between bridgmanite and high-pressure hydrous phases: Implications for water storage in the lower mantle

Takayuki Ishii et al.

Summary: This study clarified the phase relations and partitioning behavior of aluminum and hydrogen in the MgSiO3-Al2O3-H2O system under lower-mantle conditions. The presence of hydrous phases significantly affected the phase transitions in hydrated slabs descending into the lower mantle. The results suggest that hydrous phases, rather than bridgmanite, serve as the major carriers of water in the lower mantle.

Experimental determination of N2 solubility in silicate melts and implications for N2-Ar-CO2 fractionation in magmas

Zenghao Gao et al.

Summary: The solubility of nitrogen in magmatic melts was investigated through high-pressure experiments. The results showed that nitrogen mainly exists as N2 in silicate melts and its solubility is influenced by pressure and the structure of the melt. An empirical model was developed to predict the solubility of nitrogen and other gases in magmatic melts. This research is important for understanding degassing processes and the formation of nitrogen-rich atmospheres in Earth's interior.

Chemical analysis of trace elements at the nanoscale in samples recovered from laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments

Ingrid Blanchard et al.

Summary: This paper compares two nanoprobe techniques, nano-XRF and NanoSIMS, for analyzing synthetized samples in laser-heated diamond anvil cells (LH-DAC). These techniques allow for extraction of the spatial distribution of chemical elements in the samples and the importance of calibration for obtaining quantifiable results is discussed. Furthermore, the applications of these nanoprobe techniques in studying the partitioning of trace elements in the formation of the Earth's iron-rich core are explored, with a focus on tungsten and molybdenum.

Elasticity of Hydrated Al-Bearing Stishovite and Post-Stishovite: Implications for Understanding Regional Seismic VS Anomalies Along Subducting Slabs in the Lower Mantle

Yanyao Zhang et al.

Summary: Seismic studies have identified seismic scatterers with shear velocity anomalies along subducting slabs at certain depths. The post-stishovite transition in subducted mid-ocean ridge basalt has been linked to these anomalies. Experimental data on Al-bearing stishovite crystals revealed a reduction in transition pressure and shear wave velocity due to the presence of aluminum and hydrogen.

Hydrous peridotitic fragments of Earth's mantle 660 km discontinuity sampled by a diamond

Tingting Gu et al.

Summary: This study reveals the nature and composition of the 660 km boundary between the mantle transition zone and lower mantle by analyzing mineral inclusions in a rare gem diamond from Botswana. The recovered lower-mantle minerals and hydrous phases found at this boundary suggest that the peridotitic composition and hydrous conditions extend across the transition zone and into the lower mantle.

Superhydrous aluminous silica phases as major water hosts in high-temperature lower mantle

Takayuki Ishii et al.

Summary: Water transported by subducted oceanic plates affects the dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior. The study suggests that water in the lower mantle may be stored in basaltic fragments of subducted slabs. High-temperature aluminous silica minerals in the lower mantle can store significant amounts of water, allowing water circulation between the upper mantle and lower mantle.

A dry lunar mantle reservoir for young mare basalts of Chang'e-5

Sen Hu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed samples returned from the surface of the Moon to reveal the water content and hydrogen isotope compositions of the Moon's youngest volcanic activities. The results suggest that the Moon's youngest volcanism was not driven by abundant water in its mantle source, but rather by previous volcanic activities causing dehydration of the mantle.

Reconciling metal-silicate partitioning and late accretion in the Earth

Summary: The study demonstrates that under high pressure-temperature conditions, platinum is more likely to accumulate in the mantle, potentially as a result of core-mantle differentiation. Excess platinum in the mantle post core formation may require additional processes to explain the modern HSE signature of the mantle.

Experimental evidence for hydrogen incorporation into Earth's core

Shoh Tagawa et al.

Summary: This experimental study shows that hydrogen exhibits a strong siderophile behavior under conditions of core formation, and may explain a significant portion of the density deficit and sound velocity excess of the Earth's outer core compared to pure iron. Additionally, hydrogen could be an important constituent in the metallic cores of terrestrial planets or moons with a mass exceeding approximately 10% of the Earth.

Bridgmanite is nearly dry at the top of the lower mantle

Zhaodong Liu et al.

Summary: The study synthesized high-quality single crystals of aluminous bridgmanite saturated with hydrous melt, indicating that the dominant lower-mantle bridgmanite phase may be dry and that aluminum and iron cannot enhance water incorporation into its structure. Partition coefficients of water between transition-zone minerals and dry lower-mantle dominated bridgmanite further support dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle.

Farhang Nabiei et al.

Summary: The study indicates that in a pyrolitic magma ocean, the first mineral to crystallize in the deep mantle is iron-depleted calcium-bearing bridgmanite. The substantial calcium solubility in bridgmanite significantly delays the crystallization of the calcium silicate perovskite phase during magma ocean solidification.
