Popis: 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,γ). We obtain Vsi = (−1.9 ± 2.4)×10−6 m³/mol with a more probable value close to zero.
