Abstract
|
Trace element concentrations in igneous rocks and their constituent minerals are used to constrain the melting conditions and processes that formed them. All melting models depend on the availability of accurate partition coefficients, which quantify how elements distribute themselves between minerals and co-existing melts during melting. Although it has long been known that partition coefficents vary as a function of pressure, temperature and composition, accurate parametrisations for many mineral-melt systems are not available to date. |
