Popis: Analytical formulas for the temperature dependence of elastic constants of MgO combined with a thermodynamic model, which interconnects bulk properties to point defect parameters, can successfully reproduce the self diffusion coefficients of periclase at temperatures representative of the Earth's mantle conditions. Although the calculated diffusion coefficients are estimated from a single measurement and cover a broad range of values (i.e. five orders of magnitude), an almost excellent agreement with the experimental ones is observed. The slight discrepancy at the highest temperature lies at error margins.
