Density of dry peridotite magma at high pressure using an X-ray absorption method

Sakamaki, Tatsuya*; Otani, Eiji*; Urakawa, Satoru*; Suzuki, Akio*; Katayama, Yoshinori

The density of a peridotite magma was measured up to 2.5 GPa and 2300 K using an X-ray absorption method. The method allowed measurement of the density of a peridotite melt under seven different conditions and clarified the pressure and temperature dependence of the density. A fit of the pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yielded the isothermal bulk modulus, $$K_{T0} = 24.0 pm 1.3$$ GPa, its pressure derivative, $$K'_{0} = 7.3 pm 0.8$$, and the derivative of bulk modulus $$(delta K_{T}/delta T)_{P} = -0.0027 pm 0.0017$$ GPa/K at 2100 K. The large bulk modulus and its pressure derivative of the peridotite melt compared with that of basaltic melt is consistent with previous results from sink-float experiments.
