Deep mantle melting has profound implications for chemical differentiation in early earth. Phase relation of peridodite was investigated to lowermost mantle condition. The results shows that liquidus phase changes from perovskite to post-perovskite at 110 GPa. Determined iron partitioning between perovskite/post-perovskite and partial melt indicates strong iron enrichment in melt, suggesting dense melt in the deep mantle conditions.
