Rapid Core Formation in Terrestrial Planets by Percolative Flow: In-Situ Imaging of Metallic Melt Migration Under High Pressure/Temperature Conditions
Core formation has left a lasting geochemical signature on the Earth. In order to constrain the composition of the Earth we must fully understand the processes by which newly formed Earth, and the bodies which accreted to it, differentiated. Percolation of iron-rich melt through solid silicate has b...
