Sulfide partial melting and chalcopyrite disease: An experimental study

American Mineralogist, 2018
Speckling of sphalerite with micrometer-sized blebs of chalcopyrite is usually referred to as “chalcopyrite disease.” Fe-rich sphalerites are particularly prone to chalcopyrite disease.

Partial melting in the upper mantle

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1970
The low velocity zone in tectonic and oceanic regions is too pronounced to be the effect of high temperature gradients alone. Partial melting is consistent with the low velocity, low Q and abrupt boundaries of this region of the upper mantle and is also consistent with measured heat flow values.

Partial melting and flow of orogens

Tectonophysics, 2001
Abstract A comparison of large orogenic belts formed at convergent plate boundaries indicates that orogenic evolution comprises a period of crustal thickening followed by the formation of a continental plateau and commonly syn- to post-convergence extension and thinning of the previously thickened crust.

Partial‐melt electrical conductivity: Influence of melt composition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1999
The electrical conductivity of a partial melt is influenced by many factors, including melt conductivity, crystalline conductivity, and melt fraction, each of which is influenced by temperature. We have performed measurements of bulk conductivity as a function of temperature of an Fo80‐basalt partial melt between 684° and 1244°C at controlled oxygen ...

Partial melting and melt migration in the acapulcoite-lodranite parent body

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1997
We review petrologic evidence that the acapulcoites and lodranites formed by < 1 vol% to probably 20 vol% whole rock partial melting of a chondritic precursor material. At low degrees of partial melting, only Fe,Ni---FeS cotectic melting occurred.

Partial melting, partial melt extraction and partial back reaction in anatectic migmatites

Lithos, 2001
Abstract Anatectic migmatites commonly show both prograde (entropy producing) and retrograde reactions between minerals and melt. The final textures, mineral modes and mineral chemistries are affected by four successive processes: (i) prograde partial melting and small-scale segregation into melt-rich domains and restitic domains; (ii) partial melt ...

Experimental deformation of partially-melted granite

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1979
An account is given of the experimental deformation of partially-melted granite with melt fractions up to 25% at 800 °C and 300 MPa confining pressure in constant strainrate tests between 10−3 and 10−6 S−1, creep tests and cycling tests. Microscopic study reveals that under these conditions most of the uniform deformation prior to macroscopic shear ...

Partial Melting and Deformation

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2002
The physical properties of partially molten rocks are directly coupled to the grain-scale as well as the broader scale distribution of the melt phase. At the grain scale, if melt forms isolated pockets in a silicate matrix, its influence on plastic flow is generally relatively minor.

The Influence of Partial Melt on Mantle Convection

2012
The thermo-chemical evolution of a one-plate planet like Mars strongly influences its atmospheric evolution via volcanic outgassing, which is linked to the production of partial melt in the mantle. In earlier thermal evolution and convection models melt production has been considered by the release and consumption of latent heat, the formation of crust
