Grain growth rates of Mg2SiO4- and (Mg0.9Fe0.1)(2)SiO4-ringwoodites have been studied under the conditions of the mantle transition zone at a pressure of 21 GPa and temperatures ranging from 1473 to 2023 K, using a Kawai-type high-pressure apparatus. The grain growth rates were expressed by G(n) - G(0)(n)=G(0)(n)texp (-H*/RT) where G (m) is grain size at time t (s), and Go is the initial grain size at t=0, with n=4.5 +/- 0.8, and H*=414 kJ/mol and log k(0)=- 20.4 +/- 1.6 m(4.5)/s for (Mg0.9Fe0.1)(2)SiO4-ringwoodite, and H*=456 kJ/mol and logk(0)=-20.2 +/- 1.4 m(4.5)/s for Mg2SiO4-ringwoodite. Using these kinetic parameters for grain growth, we estimated the grain size of ringwoodite in the cold subducting slabs to be less than similar to 100 mu m. This suggests that the dominant deformation mechanism in the subducting slab is diffusion creep. It is also likely that some cold slabs are softer than the warmer surrounding mantle.
