The distribution coefficients ( K i ) of noble gases were determined for synthesized olivine-basalt melt pairs. Seven samples (BH-series) were synthesized at 1370 ~ 1300°C under a one atmospheric pressure (~ 10 5 Pa) noble gas mixture, and four samples (HPP- and HPG-series) at 1360-1050°C at high pressures (0.2-1.5 GPa). The two different experiments gave consistent results with each other. Some BH-series olivine samples were apparently contaminated with gas-rich inclusions or the glass phase, and the effects of such interferences on the calculated distribution coefficients were evaluated. The possible ranges of the distribution coefficients of noble gases thus obtained are: K He 0.07, K Ne = 0.006-0.08, K Ar = 0.05-0.15, K Kr 0.15, and K Xe 0.3. These show remarkable features compared to solid element distribution coefficients: the distribution coefficients of noble gases are rather insensitive to, or even positively correlated with the atomic size of noble gases. The striking contrast between the partition of noble gases and that of solid elements may be attributed to the electrical neutrality of noble gases and the increasing electronic polarizability from He to Xe.
