Latitude-dependent oxygen fugacity in arc magmas [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe redox state of arc mantle has been considered to be more oxidized and diverse than that of the mid-ocean ridge, but the cause of the variation is debated.

A more reduced mantle beneath the lunar South Pole–Aitken basin [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe oxygen fugacity (fO2) of the lunar mantle is of pivotal significance in comprehending the formation and evolution of the Moon. However, the fO2 of the lunar farside mantle remains unknown due to the lack of samples returned from the farside. Here, we

Europium in plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions reveals mantle melting modulates oxygen fugacity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTo gain insights into the composition and heterogeneity of Earth’s interior, the partial pressure of oxygen (oxygen fugacity, or fO2) in igneous rocks is characterized. A surprising observation is that relative to reference buffers, fO2s of mantle melts (

Trivalent titanium in high-titanium lunar ilmenite [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsLunar mare basalts are often rich in titanium, hosted predominantly within the mineral ilmenite (Fe2+Ti4+O3). Here, we examine ilmenite in a ~ 3.8 billion-year-old mare basalt (Apollo rock 75035) using high-resolution electron microscopy and electron ...

Expanding the application of the Eu-oxybarometer to the lherzolitic shergottites and nakhlites: Implications for the oxidation state heterogeneity of the Martian interior [PDF]
The Journal of Geology, 2009 Experimentally rehomogenized melt inclusions from the nakhlite Miller Range 03346 (MIL 03346) and the lherzolitic shergottite Allan Hills 77005 (ALH 77005) have been analyzed for their rare earth element (REE) concentrations in order to characterize the ...

The constant oxidation state of Earth’s mantle since the Hadean [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsDetermining the evolutionary history of mantle oxygen fugacity (fo2) is crucial, as it controls the fo2 of mantle-derived melts and regulates atmospheric composition through volcanic outgassing. However, the evolution of mantle fo2 remains controversial.

Determination of oxygen fugacity from ore-bearing magma responsible for Gazu copper mineralization: Cerium data in zircon mineral [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2021 Porphyry Cu deposits are typically oxidized. Oxygen fugacity (fO2) is a key factor, which controls the formation of porphyry Cu deposits. Trace element compositions of Cretaceous magmatic zircon grains (65.9-65.1 Ma) were determined from ore-bearing ...

Oxidation-induced nanolite crystallization triggered the 2021 eruption of Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba, Japan
Scientific Reports, 2023 Nanometer-sized crystals (nanolites) play an important role in controlling eruptions by affecting the viscosity of magmas and inducing bubble nucleation.

Estimation of physicochemical properties and tectonic environment of gabbro masses from south of Germi city (Ardabil province) based on the chemistry of clinopyroxene crystals [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2018 The studied gabbroic rocks, trending northwest- southeast, outcropped in the south of Germi, northwest of Iran. These rocks composed of plagioclase, clinopyroxene and iddingsitic olivines.
