Pressure dependence of the eutectic temperature in the Fe–FeS system. Pressure dependence of the eutectic temperature in the Fe–FeS system. Empty squares indicate the presence of melt, while filled squares indicate the presence of Fe and Fe3S solid phases only. The solid line represents linear interpolation for this data set. Other melting data are from Usselman (1975), Boehler (1993), Boehler (1996), Fei et al. (1997, 2000), Shen et al. (1998), Alfè et al. (2002b), Campbell et al. (2007), Chudinovskikh and Boehler (2007), Morard et al. (2007), and Stewart et al. (2007). Figure after Morard et al. (2008)
