Short summary
The chemical compositions of the synthetic minerals periclase and zincite in the MgO–ZnO binary system change smoothly and systematically with pressure when they exist together in equilibrium. We have studied these changes experimentally over a wide range of conditions and fitted the results to a thermodynamic model. The model may be used to predict the compositions of the coexisting phases accurately at high pressures and temperatures corresponding to the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle.
