Determination of The Diffusion Mechanism by A Method with New Possibilities: Nuclear Scattering of Synchrotron Radiation
1998
The elementary diffusion jump in crystalline solids can be determined by methods derived from nuclear physics. With these methods not only diffusion rate(s) but also diffusion vector(s), i.e. the complete diffusion mechanism can be deduced. We report on a new method for probing the elementary diffusion jumps in crystalline lattices on an atomistic scale and demonstrate its potential by a study of 57Fe diffusion in different intermetallic alloys. Compared to the results of conventional tracer (macroscopic) technique, the new method provides clear and doubtless statements concerning the direction and distance of elementary jumps. One can also determine (though less precisely than with tracer diffusion), iron diffusion coefficients.
