Previous studies indicate the high concentration of Fe₂O₃ in the lower mantle. Even though the partial molar volume of Fe₂O₃ has become essential for discussing the magma in the deep mantle, there is no data of partial molar volume of Fe₂O₃ at high pressure and temperature. This study is aimed to obtain partial molar volume of Fe₂O₃ in silicate melts under high pressure. Fe₂O₃ -bearing starting material was compressed by a Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus. We determined the density of silicate melts using sink-float method. By combining the density and the equation of state of silicate melts proposed in Wakabayashi and Funamori (2013), partial molar volumes were yielded.
