Two long standing problems in the origin and evolution of the Earth's core are the identity of the light alloying element(s) and the origin and nature of the seismically anomalous D" layer directly overlying it. It is possible that the key to both these problems lies in high pressure and temperature chemistry. Ringwood and colleagues (1990a and b) showed that high pressure increased the solubility of O and other oxides in Fe-metal. Thus, at high pressures elements O and Si may become soluble enough in Fe-metal for them to contribute significantly to the light element budget in the core. In addition, one proposed origin of the D" layer is a chemical reaction between the liquid metal outer core and the solid silicate mantle overlying it (Knittle and Jeanloz 1989, 1991). In order to investigate the nature and extent of these possible chemical interactions, we have begun a diamond anvil cell study of the high pressure and temperature reactions between metal and silicate.
