Scientific paper
A study of the formation of terrestrial planets is presented which assumes that the metal-silicate separation between the initial cores and mantles of those planets occurred during their thermal evolution as thermal diffusion of Fe-Ni metals in the solid state, partial melting of metals and metal sulfides, and full melting and differentiation of metals, metal sulfides, and silicates. As a result of such metal-silicate redistribution, a small amount of silicate within the initial cores would move to the silicate mantles, and the metal-sulfide components within the initial rock mantles would gradually sink to the cores, thus forming the final core-mantle structure patterns of terrestrial planets.
