The Mg-carbonate–Fe interaction: Implication for the fate of subducted carbonates and formation of diamond in the lower mantle

The fate of subducted carbonates in the lower mantle and at the core-mantle boundary was modelled via experiments in the MgCO3-Fe0 system at 70–150 GPa and 800–2600 K in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and ex situ transmission electron microscopy we sho...
