Example of the coupled evolution of a magma ocean and proto-atmosphere for an initial H2+H2O amount of 10NTO and an initial magma ocean bottom pressure of 50 GPa, focusing on the behavior of oxide components and redox state of the magma ocean. The left and right columns show the results of Case 1 and Case 2, respectively. (a), (b) Magma ocean composition. (c), (d) Mantle composition. (e), (f) Molar FeO1.5/FeO ratio in the bulk interior (black), magma ocean (red), and mantle (orange). (g), (h) Partition coefficient of FeO (red) and FeO1.5 (yellow). (i), (j) Oxygen fugacity relative to the IW buffer at the surface (pink) and the magma ocean bottom (brown). (k), (l) Pressure at the magma ocean bottom.
