Béjina, F., Raterron, P., Zhang, J., Jaoul, O. and Liebermann, R.C. (1997). Activation volume of silicon diffusion in San Carlos olivine. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL02735. issn: 0094-8276.

The activation volume of silicon diffusion (VSi) in olivine is reported for the first time. Specimens of San Carlos olivine single crystal were annealed at 1763 K and at pressures to 9 GPa in an uniaxial split-sphere apparatus. 30Si was used as tracer and the diffusion profiles were analyzed using the resonant nuclear reaction 30Si(p,&ggr;). We obtain VSi=(-1.9¿2.4)¿10-6 m3/mol with a more probable value close to zero.¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
