Stress-induced amorphization is shown in [197] to be responsible for grain boundary sliding in olivine underhigh stresses. [203] promotes the idea that this is a deformation mechanism to be considered in minerals

Nanomechanical testing is applied to antigorite in [192] to evidence grain boundary sliding and to amorphous olivine in [202]

Following extensive modelling of mantle minerals at the atomic scale we propose a new deformation mechanism for planetary interiors: pure climb creep [163] which is applied to bridgmanite [182] and transition zone minerals [193]. This mechanism accounts well for the morphology of mantle plumes [171]
