Ionic Diffusion in Olivine

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 8))

Abstract

The diffusion phenomena of ions in olivine are not only of considerable geophysical interest, but are also of great interest in geochemical and cosmochemical studies. In order to discuss the conditions in the mantle of the Earth, we must understand the mechanisms which control the properties of the mantle minerals. Since it is considered to be the major constituent of the upper mantle, the diffusion in olivine provides us with one of the basic clues on the mechanisms of plastic flow-phase transition in the mantle (Misener, 1972, 1974; Buening and Buseck, 1973; Weertman and Weertman, 1975; Jaoul et al, 1980; Reddy et al, 1980; Condit et al, 1985). On the other hand, olivine is distributed widely in igneous rocks and stony meteorites. The measured diffusion coefficients of ions in olivine should thus be of importance in the interpretation of the compositional zoning, the discordant age, and/or the thermal history of these natural samples (Takahashi, 1980; Morioka et al, 1985).
