In this manuscript we review experimental constraints for the viscosity of the upper mantle.
We first analyze experimental data to provide a critical review of flow law parameters for …

(Fe, Mg) 2SiO4 occurs in the polymorphic forms of olivine (orthorhombic), wadsleyite
(orthorhombic) and ringwoodite (cubic). These are some of the most common minerals in the …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Effects of pressure on high-temperature, dislocation creep in olivine ((Mg, Fe) 2 SiO 4)
aggregates have been determined under both water-poor ('dry') and water-saturated ('wet') …

Recently we are witnessing the boom of high-pressure science and technology from a small
niche field to becoming a major dimension in physical sciences. One of the most important …

Infrared spectroscopy on synthetic olivines has established that there are at least four
different mechanisms by which hydrogen is incorporated into the crystal structure. Two …

Silicon self-diffusion coefficients (DSi) in dry synthetic forsterite single crystals were
measured at temperatures of 1600 and 1800K, from ambient pressure up to 13GPa using an …

This work uses a combination of stress dependent single grain boundary Coble creep and
zero-creep experiments to measure interfacial energies, along with grain boundary point …

Following the reanalysis of individual experimental runs of some widely cited studies (Jain et
al., 2018, https://doi. org/10.1002/2017JB014847), we revisit the global data analysis of …

Our current understanding of the microscopic mechanisms by which hydrogen affects the
physical properties of minerals is reviewed with emphasis on transport properties including …
