The activation volume of silicon diffusion (V si ) in olivine is reported for the first time. Specimens of San Carlos olivine single crystal were annealed at 1763 K and at pressures to 9 GPa in an uniaxial split‐sphere apparatus. 30 Si was used as tracer and the diffusion profiles were analyzed using the resonant nuclear reaction 30 Si(p,γ). We obtain V si = (−1.9 ± 2.4)×10 −6 m³/mol with a more probable value close to zero.
