DIFFERENTIAL DIFFUSION OF IMPURITIES IN Li MATRICES
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diffusion of 22Na and 195Au has been investigated in solid, isotopically pure 8Li and 7Li metal. The Na tracer has been found to diffuse by about 4% faster in 8Li than in 7Li. For Au the corresponding difference was 4% at the melting point, but as much as about 15% at § Tm (°K). A formalism is given for the interpretation of diffusion experiments where the matrix isotope mass is varied. The present results for Na in Li can be plausibly explained in terms of the vacancy mechanism. For Au diffusion in Li, the interpretation appears incompatible with a simple vacancy mechanism, and the anomalous departure from the inverse root mass relationship can be connected with recently detected quantum effects in ®Li —7Li mutual diffusion.

متن کاملNuclear spin relaxation and correlated diffusion of impurities
From NMR line width experiments on the diffusion of Naf and Li+ ions in AgBr activation enthalpies of h(Naf) = (1.21 f 0.05) eV and h(Lif) = (0.88 f 0.04) eV are deduced for NMR correlation times. Correlation effects in impurity diffusion are inferred from a comparison of the NMR data to results from conductivity and tracer diffusion. Naf ions are found to perform an almost perfect random walk....
