It is well known that water significantly lowers mantle solidi. But it turns out this paradigm is not always true. Here, we studied the interaction of K-rich carbonate melts with the natural …
Melt inclusions in kimberlitic and metamorphic diamonds worldwide range in composition from potassic aluminosilicate to alkali-rich carbonatitic and their low-temperature derivative …
Abstract The K 2 CO 3–CaCO 3 system is important both in materials science as a source of new nonlinear optical materials and in the Earth science as a sub-system modeling phase …
Identifying the composition of primary/primitive mantle melts is crucial for understanding the mantle's evolution and mantle‐derived magmatism. Melt inclusions in mantle xenoliths …
The reactions between pyroxenes and carbonates have been studied in the CaMgSi 2 O 6+ MgCO 3 (Di+ 2Mgs), CaMgSi 2 O 6+ NaAlSi 2 O 6+ 2MgCO 3 (Di+ Jd+ 2Mgs), CaMgSi 2 O …

The elevated pressure and temperature conditions encountered by a subducted slab entering the deep Earth can substantially alter the chemical composition and physical …
The range of carbonatite melts in equilibrium with the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) under geothermal conditions is limited by alkali-rich near-eutectic compositions …
Phases of CaCO3 stabilized at high pressures and temperatures are the potential agents of the global carbon cycle, transferring oxidized carbon in deep Earth's interiors and thus are of …
Potassic dolomitic melts are believed to be responsible for the metasomatic alteration of the shallow continental lithosphere. However, the temperature stability and range of …
