Diffusion in Fe-Mg olivine at elevated temperatures

In the process of deformation of a solid at low strain rates, the rate of atomic migration in the crystal lattice is a critical factor. Experiments designed to measure the diffusion coefficient of Fe in olivine were unsuccessful. It is theoretically shown that at temperatures greater than one-half o...
