Abstract
We present a new approach to model element distribution between solid and liquid metal phases, based on experimentally determined data for the partitioning of P, S, selected transition metals, and chalcophile elements between face-centred cubic (fcc) Fe and Fe-S liquid at pressures of 9, 15 and 23 GPa and temperatures between 1523 and 1773 K. Solid/liquid partition coefficients (D) for the transition metals V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni range from a minimum D of 0.16-0.64 for V to a maximum D of 1.1-1.2 for Co, indicating modest but significant fractionation. D for the chalcophile elements Cu, Zn, Ga, Sn, and Pb varies from 0.029-0.051 for D
