Explaining the dependence of M-site diffusion in forsterite on silica activity: a density functional theory approach
{{output}}
Experimentally, silica activity (aSiO2) has been shown to have an effect on Mg diffusion in forsterite, but no fully satisfactory mechanism has yet been proposed. We calculated the effects of aSiO2 and aluminium content (the main contaminant in some recent exp... ...
