Scientific paper

The mobility of oxygen in rock forming minerals has received considerable attention in interpreting isotopic data for igneous and metamorphic rocks and fluid/mineral interactions. This study reports oxygen self-diffusion coefficients for natural nepheline and synthetic diopside. Diopside and nepheline were chosen for analysis because of the lack of oxygen diffusion data of both minerals. In addition, it was hypothesized that diopside and nepheline would differ substantially in oxygen mobility because of the differences in their crystal structures as well as the extreme isotopic contrasts observed between them in meteorites.
