We report results from multi-anvil (MA) and laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC) experiments that synthesize high-pressure phases, including bridgmanite, ferropericlase, stishovite, and ultramafic liquid, in the presence of an argon-rich fluid. The goal of the experiments is to constrain the equilibrium distribution of argon in magma ocean environments. Argon concentrations in LH-DAC experiments were quantified by electron microprobe analysis, while argon concentrations in MA experiments were quantified by laser-ablation mass spectrometry and electron microprobe analysis. Our LH-DAC experiments demonstrate that argon solubility in ultramafic liquid is near or above 1.5 wt.% at conditions between 13–101 GPa and 2300–6300 K. Argon concentrations in bridgmanite and ferropericlase synthesized in LH-DAC experiments range from below detection to 0.58 wt.%. Argon concentrations in bridgmanite and ferropericlase synthesized in MA experiments range from below detection to 2.16 wt.% for electron microprobe measurements and laser-ablation measurements. We interpret this wide range of argon concentrations in minerals to reflect the variable presence of argon-rich fluid inclusions in analytical volumes. Our analyses therefore provide upper limit constraints for argon solubility in high-pressure minerals (< 0.015 wt.%) across all mantle pressures and temperatures. The combination of relatively high argon solubility in ultramafic liquid (∼ 1.5 wt.%) and low argon solubility in minerals implies argon incompatibility (D bridgmanite− melt Ar< 0.01, D ferropericlase− melt Ar< 0.01) during magma ocean crystallization and that the initial distribution of argon, and likely other neutral species, may be controlled by liquids trapped in a crystallizing magma ocean. We thus predict a basal magma ocean would be enriched in noble gases relative to other regions of the mantle. Moreover, we predict that the noble gas parent-daughter ratio of magma ocean cumulates pile will increase with crystallization, assuming refractory and incompatible behavior for parent elements.
