Partitioning of Iron Between (Mg,Fe)SiO3 Liquid and Bridgmanite

Abstract The evolution of the magma ocean that occupied the early Earth is influenced by the buoyancy of crystals in silicate liquid. At lower mantle pressures, silicate crystals are denser than the iso‐chemical liquid, but heavy elements like iron can cause crystals to float if they partition into...
