We made density measurements of model MORB and picritic melts up to about 15 GPa using the floating diamond method. The compression behavior of the melts is fitted by the Vinet equation of state and extrapolated to higher pressure. A density crossover between the MORB melt and the mantle peridotite is suggested at the base …

Abstract. Diamonds are formed under high pressure more than 150 kilometres deep in the Earth's mantle and are brought to the surface mainly by volcanic rocks called kimberlites. Several thousand ...

Experiments show that diamond floats in a primitive mantle melt at around 20 gigapascals and 23600C and in a melt forme.d by partial melting of the transition zone at about 16 …

These diamonds can sometimes make it to the surface with tiny pockets, or inclusions, full of minerals that can form only under very high pressure. Even the famed Hope Diamond may have formed very ...

The density of the three ultramafic melts, PHN1611, IT8720, and MA at high pressure was determined by the sink-float method using olivine and diamond as density markers. Using these data, we obtain K and K' of the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state for the compression curves of the silicate melts. The density relation between the mantle …

Diamond formation occurs in high-pressure conditions more than 150 kilometres deep in the Earth's mantle. The diamonds make it to the surface in vertical pipe-like structures made up of volcanic ...

Crustal and mantle rock units exposed in different ophiolites show that the mantle melt sources of ophiolitic magmas undergo progressive melting, depletion, and enrichment events, constantly ...

Abstract. We present a new experimental technique for circumventing the quenching problems that have plagued high-pressure peridotite melting studies. A thin layer of ~50 μm diamonds is placed above a layer of peridotite powder. Partial melt extracted from the peridotite layer collects in the pore spaces between the diamonds …

Suzuki et al. [9] argued the importance of diamond–melt density crossover in diamond genesis, i.e., diamond may concentrate in the transition zone because a density crossover between peridotitic melt and diamond exists in the transition zone depth and flotation of diamond occurs in the deeper mantle. The present results imply that …

net organic production was based on a mean reef production rate of 0.1 g C m-2 day-1 (4), which in turn was based primar-ily on measurements from three atolls (15). In that study, net production for the whole reef was calculated from changes in total carbon and alkalinity in enclosed lagoon water with a long residence time (50 days).

We present a new experimental technique for circumventing the quenching problems that have plagued high-pressure peridotite melting studies. A thin layer of ~50 μm diamonds is placed above a layer of peridotite powder. Partial melt extracted from the peridotite layer collects in the pore spaces between the diamonds and equilibrates diffusively with the …

Abstract. Melting of diamond at high pressure and the properties of liquid carbon at pressures greater than 1 megabar were investigated with a first-principles molecular dynamics technique. The results indicate an increase of the diamond melting temperature with pressure, which is opposite to the behavior of silicon and germanium.

These observations constrain magma densities at high pressure. Diamond precipitated or trapped in a silicate melt at the base of the transition zone or the lower mantle floats and has been accumulating in the transition zone since early in Earth's history. Thus, the transition zone could be a reservoir of diamond.

The viscosity of peridotite liquid, as an analogue for a magma ocean composition, was investigated at high pressure using in-situ falling sphere viscometry. Experiments were performed between 2.5 ...

Abstract. Density of a FeO-rich peridotite (MA, a model composition of Martian mantle) melt was investigated by high pressure experiments conducted at 6.3–18.0 GPa and 1800–2570°C. We adopted the `sink–float' method, i.e., the sinking and flotation of a certain crystal (density marker) in the silicate melt is judged from its …
