    Kinetics of intracrystalline cation redistribution in olivine and its implication

    The rate of cation redistribution between M 1 and M 2 sites in olivine is theoretically studied on the basis of elementary processes of cationic migration. Cationic migration in olivine structure is assumed to be...
