This paper reviews current knowledge about the Earth's core and the overlying deep mantle
in terms of structure, chemical and mineralogical compositions, physical properties, and …

Melting properties of the deep mantle remain controversial due to experimental difficulties;
eg, reports of solidus temperatures of mantle-relevant compositions span over∼ 700 K at …

Melting curves of Ca‐perovskite (pure CaSiO3) were determined by ab initio density
functional theory, using two solid‐liquid coexistence methods and two free energy …

One of the central challenges in accurately estimating the mantle melting temperature is the
sensitivity of the probe for detecting a small amount of melt at the solidus. To address this …

As the most abundant material of rocky planets, high-pressure polymorphs of iron-and
aluminum-bearing magnesium silicates have long been sought by both observations and …

Characterizing and modeling melting relations in the system MgO‐SiO2 at lower mantle
pressures rely on the location of the eutectic points for MgO‐MgSiO3 and MgSiO3‐SiO2 …

Shock-induced melting textures and assemblages in the chassignite Northwest Africa (NWA)
2737 were investigated. NWA 2737 consists mainly of coarse-grained olivine (Fa 19.6–20.5) …

Melting relations in the MgSiO3-SiO2 system have been investigated at 13.5 GPa using a
Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus. The system displays eutectic melting with the eutectic …
