Research Abstract |
Equilibrium carbon isotope fractionation between graphite/diamond and iron carbide melt at 5 and 10 GPa and in the temperature range between 1200 and 2000 oC was determined. The results suggest that iron carbide melt will preferentially accumulate12^C rather than 13^C. We proposed that the temperature-dependent fractionation of carbon isotopes between iron carbide melt and graphite/diamond might have created a “12^C-enriched core” with a significant difference in the distribution of carbon isotopes between the carbon in the metallic core and bulk silicate Earth during the accretion and differentiation of early Earth.
