Magma ocean fractional crystallization and cumulate overturn in terrestrial planets: Implications for Mars (2003, methodology): “In their results, garnet + wadsleyite + clinopyroxene transforms to majorite + wadsleyite across a phase boundary with a slope of about −1.5 MPa/K.”
Temperatures, Heat, and Energy in the Mantle of the Earth (2007, background): “From the most recent phase diagram (Herzberg and Zhang, 1996; Litasov and Ohtani, 2002), the final rheological transition corresponds to a potential temperature of about 1800 100 K for a mantle composed of dry pyrolite (Figure 13).”
Water, Melting, and the Deep Earth H 2 O Cycle (2006, background): “Several have suggested that the large contrast in storage capacity between the transition zone and overlying upper mantle could lead to partial melting of material advecting across the 410 km discontinuity (Young et al. 1993, Kawamoto et al. 1996, Litasov & Ohtani 2002, Bercovici & Karato 2003).”
Nitrogen solubility in molten metal and silicate at high pressure and temperature (2012, background): “The temperatures were between 2500– 3000 K for all pressures during the experiments reported here (Table 2), which is near the liquidus temperature of the mantle up to 20 GPa (Litasov and Ohtani, 2002).”
Solidus and liquidus profiles of chondritic mantle: Implication for melting of the Earth across its history (2011, background): “It has been shown that pressure affects significantly the solidus and liquidus temperatures as well as composition of the eutectic liquids (Ito et al., 2004; Liebske et al., 2005; Litasov and Ohtani, 2002).”
