Summary
The combination of double-sided laser heating in the diamond anvil cell and detailed chemical analysis of the recovered samples is a promising approach to explore the chemistry of the Earth’s deep interior from the lower mantle to the core. Routine recovery of laser-heated samples coupled with chemical and textural characterization at the submicron scale is the key to expand knowledge of chemical interactions and melting at extreme conditions, particularly in complex systems. Recent technical developments have allowed us to investigate element partitioning and melting relations at pressures approaching the Earth’s inner-core boundary. In this chapter, we review the techniques used for recovering tiny laser-heated samples and analyzing their chemical compositions and quenched textures, while highlighting key experiments that address silicate–metal element partitioning during mantle–core differentiation, silicate melting relations with applications to early magma ocean crystallization and deep mantle melting, and melting relations in iron-alloy systems relevant to the core. The results have drastically expanded our understanding of element redistribution at deep chemical boundaries and the chemical evolution of the deep mantle and the inner core. Finally, we emphasize the need for standardized protocols to obtain consistent, reproducible results and streamlined procedures to promote good practice and increase productivity. A broad collaboration with a systematic approach would further advance the field of high-pressure geochemistry.
