  • In situ X-ray diffraction measurements for natural Fe-bearing and Fe-free Mg2SiO4 forsterite single-crystals ((Mg1.83Fe0.17)SiO4 and Mg2SiO4) were performed with diamond anvil cell high-pressure device and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction at room temperature.The experimental results showed that no phase transition of two natural olivine single-crystals was observed within the upper highest pressure of 9.9GPa.The isothermal relationship of pressure and volume in the two kinds of crystals is well described by the second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with the zero-pressure unit cell volume and zero-pressure bulk modulus of 0.2929(3)nm3 and 140(3)GPa for Fe-bearing forsterite and 0.2899(1)nm3 and 151(2)GPa for Fe-free forsterite, respectively.The linear compressibilities along a, b and c axes (ka, kb and kc) are elastically anisotropic in the two kinds of forsterite and the anisotropy can be described as kb>kc>ka.With the addition of iron into the crystals, the bulk velocity of olivine decreases and the difference between the two kinds of forsterite single-crystals is 5.2%.This result will be significant for the study of the composition of the earth's upper mantle and its elastic wave velocities.
