EPSL: The effect of carbon concentration on its core-mantle partitioning behavior in inner Solar System rocky bodies
Authors: Damanveer S. Grewal, Rajdeep Dasgupta, Sanath Aithala Abstract: Partitioning of carbon (C) into the cores of rocky protoplanets and planets is one of the primary causes of its depletion in their bulk silicate reservoirs. Most of the experimental studies that determined the alloy to silicate melt partition coefficient of carbon (DCalloy/silicate) have been conducted in graphite-saturated conditions. […]
