Abstract The determination of the activation volume of diffusion is one of the best methods for the in­vestigation of the relaxation of atoms or ions around defects. This paper discusses two experimental techniques for the determination of the activation volume for diffusion, by studying the effect of hydrostatic pressure on tracer diffusion and on ionic conductivity. Such experiments require a very clean hydrostatic pressure environment, accurate temperature control and measurement, and well defined specimen geometry. The difficulties encountered during such experiments are discussed. Results are given for the activation volumes of diffusion in beryllium and in sodium chloride.

The derivatives with respect to hydrostatic pressure of 12 extremal cross-sectional areas of the Fermi surface of tetragonal white (β) tin have been measured by the fluid helium de Haas van Alphen phase shift technique. The samples were carefully aligned in situ to have a crystal symmetry axis ([001], [100], or [110]) parallel to the magnetic field. The measured derivatives differ significantly from most values found previously by both direct and indirect methods; it is believed that the present work provides the first reliable comprehensive determination of these quantities. The present experiments also confirm the conclusions of magnetostriction experiments that there is a second orbit normal to [100] on the sixth zone surface not identified in earlier conventional de Haas van Alphen work, and that the third zone extremal areas normal to [001] are larger than previously accepted values determined in de Haas van Alphen studies.
