Popis: A fine grained fully-dense olivine aggregate was deformed in a D-DIA press at room temperature and pressures ranging from 3.5 to 6.8 GPa, at constant strain rates between 6 × 10 - 6 and 2.2 × 10 - 5 s−1. A weighted non-linear least square fit of a dataset including our results and data from other high-pressure studies to a low-temperature plasticity flow law yields a Peierls stress σ P 0 = 7.4 ( 0.5 ) GPa and an activation energy E ∗ = 232 ( 60 ) kJ.mol−1. The dependence of the Peierls stress to pressure, σ P = σ P 0 ( 1 + 0.09 P ) , appears to be larger than the value predicted by the formulation proposed by Frost and Ashby (1982). With such a dependence, the activation volume is very small ( V * = 1.6 ( 1.7 ) cm3.mol−1). Extrapolation to natural conditions yields a viscosity of ~ 10 23 - 10 24 Pa.s for a cold subducting slab at depths of 50–100 km.
