摘要: We have measured the solubilities of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe in natural samples anorthite, diopside, forsterite, spinel synthetic basaltic melts. The minerals melts represent equilibrium pairs Fo-An-Di-SiO2 system. Samples were suspended individual crucibles a one-bar flowing mixed noble gas atmosphere at 1300 or 1332°C for times ranging from 7–18 days. The increase with increasing atomic number typical solubility values are surprisingly high. particular mineral (i.e., anorthite) that came different localities yield distinctly reproducible values. This indicates properties intrinsic to can influence solubility. Noble gases likely be sited lattice vacancy defects. In contrast, decrease number. Our data overlap low end range defined previously basalts; however, dynamic Ne is not as great Solubilities correlate well melt molar volume but poorly density. The partition coefficients all mineral/melt pairs. Such trends imply terrestrial planet atmospheres derived partial melting chondritic source material. Significant fractionation relative observed, ruling out an origin Earth's “missing” via magmatic fractionation. Partition coefficient absolute frequently near greater than unity. For example, ranges five diopside measurements following: DNel, 0.013–0.37; DArl, 0.15–0.84; DKrl, 0.31–2.4; DXel, 3.2–47. transport efficient mechanism degassing planets. results favor catastrophic atmospheres.
