Abstract:Abstract. This study aims to experimentally constrain the water storage capacities of
olivine and wadsleyite at a depth near 410 km (12–14 GPa) under
water-saturated conditions, as a function of temperature, oxygen fugacity,
and the presence of carbon (molar H / C of 2). Experiments have been conducted
in the multi-anvil press, with sealed double capsules to preserve fluids, at
1200 to 1400 ∘C and three different oxygen fugacities fixed at the
rhenium–rhenium oxide buffer (RRO), nickel–nickel oxide buffer (NNO… Show more
