The surface self-diffusion of silver on specific crystallographic surfaces of silver single crystals and on polycrystalline specimens was investigated. Various methods of surface preparation were used and the general conclusion was reached that surface diffusion is accelerated during changes of surface shape. The theory is advanced that "surface" diffusion takes place by a lattice vacancy mechanism; an abnormally high concentration of lattice vacancies is believed to be necessary for changes of surface shape to occur. This accounts for the accelerated surface diffusion observed under these conditions.

The rate of self-diffusion in single crystals of white tin of various orientations has been measured using the radio-active isotope Sn113. The ratio of the diffusion coefficients parallel and perpendicular to the tetragonal (c) axis is approximately 2 at 180 �C. and approximately 3 at 223 �C. The diffusion coefficients in both directions at various temperatures are given by the Arrhenius expressions Dc= 1.2 x 10-5e-10,1500/RT cm.2sec.-1 and Da=3.7 X 10-8e-5,900/RT cm.2sec.-l. The anisotropy is discussed in terms of the vacancy mechanism of diffusion.

Self-diffusion, both cationic and anionic, in ZnO nanoparticles was studied here in accord with reaction coordinate theory. The jump frequencies at various temperatures were computed. The isotope effect revealed that self-diffusion occurred mainly via a vacancy mechanism in nano ZnO; a result not previously reported in the literature.
