Isotopic variations usually follow mass-dependent fractionation, meaning that the relative
variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose
underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino …

Chemical data from the MESSENGER spacecraft revealed that surface rocks on Mercury are
unusually enriched in sulfur compared to samples from other terrestrial planets. In order to …

Earth's inventory of principle volatiles C, H, N, and S is a legacy of its early stages of
accretion and differentiation. Elemental ratios (C/H, C/N, C/S) are powerful tools for …

An exoplanet's structure and composition are first-order controls of the planet's habitability.
We explore which aspects of bulk terrestrial planet composition and interior structure affect …

Numerous investigations have been devoted to understanding how the materials that
contributed to the Solar System formed, were incorporated into the precursor molecular …

Several episodes of complete melting have probably occurred during the first stages of the
Earth's evolution. We have developed a numerical model to monitor the thermal and melt …

The highly siderophile elements (HSEs) are widely used as geochemical tracers for Earth's
accretion and core formation history. It is generally considered that core formation strongly …

Thulium is a heavy rare earth element (REE) whose geochemical behavior is intermediate
between Er and Yb, and that is not expected to be decoupled from these elements during …

Current models assume that siderophile volatile elements (SVE) are depleted in bulk Earth
to the same extent as lithophile elements of similar volatility. The observed additional …
