Abstract
At present the motion of positively charged light interstitials such as positive muons or the nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes in metals is analyzed and interpreted in terms of the quantum theory of diffusion (QTD) which has been proposed by Flynn and Stoneham1 and which later on has been put forward, e.g., by Kagan and Klinger2. In the following lectures some of the basic ideas of the QTD shall be outlined (further aspects are discussed in the article of A.M. Stoneham in this issue) and the actual status of our understanding of the light-interstitial diffusion will be reviewed. (Besides the QTD there recently have been some attempts3,4 to describe the hydrogen motion in metals within the so-called “Quantum Occurance Theory”, a phenomenological generalization of the basic ideas of the theory of phonon-assisted defect transitions5. But since hitherto preliminary communications only have been published about the application of this method to the interstitial diffusion we shall focus our attention in the following on the QTD).
