Thermal diffusivity (D) of garnets with diverse chemical compositions was measured using the laser-flash technique, which is accurate (±2%) and isolates the lattice component from direct radiative transfer. Temperatures ranged from ~290 to ~1,600 K (unless limited by melting). Seven synthetic (e.g., YAG, GGG) and 15 natural garnets with two types of ionic substitution [Ca3(Fe,Al)2Si3O12and (Mg,Fe,Ca)3Al2Si3O12] and varying amounts of OH-were examined. Cation substitution or hydroxyl incorporation lowersDfrom end-member values. Thermal diffusivity is constant once the temperature (T) exceeds a critical value (Tsat) of ~1,100 to 1,500 K. From ~290 K toTsat, the measurements are best represented by 1/D=A+BT+CT2where A, B, and C are constants. These constants vary little among diverse chemical compositions, suggesting that the oxygen sublattice controls heat transport. Higher order terms are needed only whenTsatis low, such as Ant Hill garnet wherein 1/D=0.049403+0.0032299T−2.3992T2×10−6+6.0168T3×10−10(1/Din s/mm2;Tin K). The mean free path (λ, computed fromDand sound velocities) is slightly larger than the lattice parameter aboveTsat, in accord with phonon–phonon interactions requiring non-localized modes. At most temperatures, λ is nm-sized. Large values of λ are obtained by extrapolation to a few Kelvins, suggesting that boundary scattering can only be important at extremely cold temperatures. The observed behavior withTand chemical composition is consistent with the damped harmonic oscillator model. Phonon transport is best represented by inverse thermal diffusivity wherein 1/Dgoes asTnwherenis between 1 and 3 up to ~200 K, depends on a quadratic or cubic polynomial at moderateT, but is constant aboveTsat. The predicted and observed temperature response of 1/Dmimics the well-known form for heat capacity, in that acoustic modes control heat transport near cryogenic temperatures, optic phonons dominate above ambient temperature, and a limit analogous to that of Dulong and Petit is reached at very high temperature, due to full population of discrete phonon states.
