Synchrotron X-ray diffraction(XRD)was used to measure the unit cell parameters of synthetic pyrope(Mg3Al2Si3O12),grossular(Ca3Al2Si3O12)and six intermediate garnet solid solutions.Garnets synthesized dry in multi-anvil(MA)apparatus at 6 GPa show large irregular asymmetric positive quenchable excess volumes(Du et al.2016).Analysis of XRD profiles by using Williamson-Hall plots shows that microstrain,rather than grain size variation,is the principal reason for the observed XRD peak broadening.Garnets with compositions close to the negligibly strained end members have large microstrains but relatively small excess volume.
