Oxygen self-diffusion in rutile was studied in synthetic and natural samples over the temperature range 750 to 1000 ℃and the pressure range 0.1 to 1000 MPa using an 18O- enriched source. Most experiments investigated the dependence of D on temperature, water pressure, crystallographic direction, and experiment duration. A few experiments investigated the dependence of D on fO₂, and confining pressure. The uptake profiles of 18O in experimental products were measured by nuclear reaction analysis using the reaction 18O(ρ, α)15N.
