Glasses having the composition, Li2O•2SiO2, were annealed in 18O at 325 to 390C. It was found that the O diffusivity data could be described by:

D(cm2/s) = 2.90 x 10-8exp[-28.8(kcal/mol)/RT]

A discrepancy between these results, and previous ones for the same material, was attributed to the interfering effect of OH- in the specimens.
