SIMS Study of Self-Diffusion in Liquid Tin and of Associated Isotope Effects

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 44))

Abstract

A Spacelab collaboration project is directed at diffusivities in liquid metals under gravity-free, g(0), conditions. Terrestrial measurements yield effective diffusion coefficients, D(eff) = D + D(g) + D(w), where the last two terms are convection effects due to, respectively, gravitation and the presence of walls in the anneal vessel. Determinations of D have therefore suffered in accuracy and reproducibility, and this has impeded the testing of atomic models of liquid diffusion. In the Spacelab project D(g) is eliminated and D(w) may be assessed by measurements of D(eff) in capillaries of different diameters. The aim is an accuracy sufficient for quantitative study not only of the temperature dependence of D, but also of the isotope effect, defined as ED = 2 dlnD/dlnM (where M is the atomic mass).
