    Main achievements:

    Experimental quantification of hydrogen diffusion coefficients in olivine lattice and application to magma ascent rates estimates (Demouchy and Mackwell, Phys. Chem. Min. 2003, 2006 ; Demouchy et al., Geology, 2006) and in olivine grain boundaries (Demouchy, Earth Planet Sci. Lett., 2010).

    Effect of high temperature and high pressure on the hydrogen storage capacity of wadsleyite and application to the deep water cycle (Demouchy et al., 2005, Am. Min.).

    Effect of hydrogen on transport properties in mantle minerals: hydrogen enhancement of Fe-Mg diffusion in magnesiowüstite (Demouchy et al., Contrib. Min. Petrol. 2007) ; negligible hydrogen strength weakening in olivine (Demouchy et al., Phys. Earth. Planet. Int. 2012, Demouchy et al., 2023).

    Experimentally-based flow law of olivine applicable to the Earth’s lithosphere. (Demouchy et al., Geophys. Res. Lett. 2009, Phys. Earth. Planet. Int.  2013, Tectonophys, 2014).

    Building the database on hydrogen storage in mantle-derived rocks (e.g., invited review article Demouchy and Bolfan-Casanova, Lithos, 2016; Demouchy et al., Moa Island, 2024).

    Collaborations to decipher plastic mechanisms of olivine at nanoscale (Mussi et al., Phys. Chem. Min 2014, Phil. Mag. 2015, 2017) and in particular identification for the first time of rotational defects in natural and experimentally deformed olivine polycrystals (Cordier, Demouchy et al., Nature, 2014) as well as the deformation-induced amorphization of olivine (Samae et al., Nature, 2021) and TEM to characterized olivine plastic deformation ( Demouchy et al., 2024).
