This chapter presents an overview of diffusion data for pyroxenes, amphiboles and micas.
These minerals are grouped together since amphiboles and micas are closely related in …

Volume diffusion rates for five rare earth elements (La, Ce, Nd, Dy, and Yb) have been
measured in single crystals of natural diopside at pressures of 0.1 MPa to 2.5 GPa and …

Abstract Chemical interdiffusion of Fe–Mg along the c-axis 001 in natural diopside crystals
(X Di= 0.93) was experimentally studied at ambient pressure, at temperatures ranging from …

There has been extensive technological progress in the last decade in performing diffusion
experiments on minerals in solid-media, high-pressure (HP) apparatus. A database is …

We have determined diffusional and dislocation creep rheologies for clinopyroxenite Ca1.
0Mg0. 8Fe0. 2Si2O6 under dry conditions by deforming natural and hot‐pressed samples at …

We performed a series of triaxial compressive creep experiments at two different water
fugacities to investigate the effect of water on the creep strength of a natural clinopyroxenite …

The rate of hydrogen diffusion in clinopyroxene is relevant to interpreting hydrogen (“water”)
concentrations in xenoliths, phenocrysts, and clinopyroxene-hosted melt inclusions to …

Chemical diffusion of Pb under anhydrous, pO2-buffered conditions has been measured in
natural pyroxenes of three different compositions: a chromian diopside, an augitic …

We investigated the creep strength of fine‐grained aggregates of single‐phase anorthite
and diopside at temperatures ranging from 1253 to 1553 K at flow stress between 5 and 250 …

Abstract We investigated (Fe, Mn)-Mg interdiffusion along the [001] axis in single crystals of
natural diopside at ambient pressure, at temperatures between 1000 C to 1200 C and at …
