Nickel isotope heterogeneity in the early Solar System (2008, background): “For example, difficulties in making the Earth's mantle from a silica rich and highly reduced protolith could be explained by incorporation of Si into the core (Takafuji et al., 2005; Georg et al., 2007) and subsequent mantle oxidation by perovskite disproportionation (Wade and Wood, 2005).”
Stratification of the top of the core due to chemical interactions with the mantle (2010, background): “[ 2 ] Recent experiments on partitioning of major elements between liquid iron and mantle minerals suggest that the core is undersaturated in Si and O [ Takafuji et al. , 2005; Sakai et al. , 2006; Asahara et al. , 2007; Ozawa et al. , 2008, 2009].”
Very low sound velocities in iron‐rich (Mg,Fe)O: Implications for the core‐mantle boundary region (2010, background): “…iron and lower mantle perovskite or oxide have produced a wide range of results, leading to interpretations ranging from production of FeSi and FeO [Knittle and Jeanloz, 1991; Song and Ahrens, 1994] to dissolution of oxygen into liquid iron [Takafuji et al., 2005; Frost et al., 2010], respectively.”
Geophysics of Chemical Heterogeneity in the Mantle (2012, background): “The core-mantle boundary layer may be the source of additional chemical heterogeneity via reaction between mantle and core (Knittle & Jeanloz 1991, Takafuji et al. 2005).”
