Metal-silicate partition coefficient of carbon

Abstract: This data source information is the summary of chemical composition of the samples published in Kuwahara et al. (2019). Electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA) and Secondary ion-mass spectrometry (SIMS) were used for determining the metal–silicate partition coefficient of carbon from the samples obtained by high-pressure experiments (4–12 GPa). Data 1 summarizes the major composition of metallic and silicate phases of the recovered samples determined by EPMA and EDS analyses. Data 2 shows the hydrogen and carbon contents in silicate of the recovered samples determined by SIMS.
