ABSTRACTThe diffusion rate of Zn in AlxGa1−xAs alloys has been determined, for values of x up to 1.0, as a function of temperature. At 625°C the diffusion coefficient shows a strong dependence on x, reaching a maximum at about 65% Al. A similar rapid increase in diffusion coefficient with x is seen at 700°C. The zinc concentration profiles are similar for all values of x, showing a very abrupt diffusion front. The activation energy for diffusion decreases with increasing x.

Two thin pseudomorphic (SimGen)p superlattices with m = n = 4 and p = 5 and vice versa were prepared at 350 °C by molecular beam epitaxy on (100) Si to investigate interdiffusion upon annealing. A Raman scattering and X-ray reflectometry study of the as-grown specimens indicated significant interdiffusion at the Si–Ge interfaces. The Raman investigations of specimens annealed for 20 s at temperatures up to 750 °C showed that atomic diffusion across the Si–Ge interfaces had occurred at an anneal temperature of 600 °C. After a 20 s 700 °C anneal. Raman and X-ray techniques showed that the superlattices modulation was destroyed consistent with a diffusion coefficient of about 10−21 m2/s. Both techniques revealed that 100 s anneals at temperatures of 750–950 °C introduced a slower diffusion rate (10−20 m2/s at 950 °C), but also strain relief, in Gen (n < 12) epilayers buried in Si. The differences in the effective diffusion rates for the two types of heterostructure are attributed to a different degree of interface mixing during growth.

ABSTRACTThe compounds in the binary system Ag2Se-Ag2S are known to undergo a phase transition to a superionic phase at a temperature which varies with concentration. The diffusion mechanism of Ag ions have been studied in a Molecular Dynamics formalism. We have calculated the diffusion coefficient as function of temperature and concentration and have calculated the activation energy for diffusion from the Arrhenius plot of DAg vs temperature. Results obtained for the end points Ag2Se and Ag2S agree with experimental measurements.

AbstractThe diffusion rates of Na+ and Cs+ in two types of hydrous titanium(IV) oxide, precipitated at pH 6 (exchanger A) and pH 13 (exchanger B), were determined radiochemically. The rate of Cs+ in exchanger A is faster than that of Na+; diffusion coefficients are 4.9xl0-11 and 1.9xl0-11 m2 s-1 for Cs+ and Na+, respectively (pH 12, 5.0 °C). The activation energy for Cs+ diffusion is 21 kJ mol-1 and slightly smaller than that for Na+ diffusion, 29 kJ mol-1. The rates of these ions in exchanger B are much slower than those in exchanger A, and can be explained by assuming the existence of two kinds of independently diffusing ions (fast and slow species) in the exchanger. The diffusion coefficients are of the order of 10-12 and 10-13 m2 s-1 for the fast and the slow species, respectively. The activation energies are 48–60 kJ mol-1 for Na+ diffusion and 32–33 kJ mol-1 for Cs+ diffusion (pH 12). The marked difference in kinetics between two exchangers was interpreted in terms of the difference in the acid-base property and in the microstructure of the matrix.

ABSTRACTOsmotic dehydration is a water removing process that carried out on a object by immersing the object into an hyper-tonic (osmotic) solution.

ABSTRACTRapidly solidified Ti alloys containing rare earth metal dispersoids, such as La or Er, have excellent resistance to coarsening at elevated temperature (700–900°C). In particular, the coarsening of the dispersoid particles in RSP Ti-5Sn-3Y was studied; these particles were found to be Y5Sn3. The measured growth kinetics were found to be compatible with the modified LSW model; it was concluded from the observed parameters that in this alloy the diffusion rate of Y is the rate determining factor, providing a measurement of the diffusion coefficient of Y in a Ti matrix and yielding its activation energy Q = 272 kJ/mole.

Diffusion of 18O in the superconductor La2−x Srx CuO4−y has been measured as a function of x (0 to 0.20) between 300 and 500°C at an oxygen partial pressure of ≍ 1 atm. Concentration profiles were obtained using a secondary ion mass spectrometer. The diffusion coefficient decreases with increasing Sr additions from 0.1 to 0.2, primarily because of an increase in activation energy. This result, which is contradictory to the expectation that the diffusion coefficient should increase with increasing vacancy concentration caused by the added Sr, can be explained if oxygen vacancies are bound to Sr clusters. Measurements on samples with x = 0 or 0.05 were unsuccessful, probably because of porosity.

The surface tension and viscosity values of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) aqueous solutions promoted by tetramethylammonium arginate ([N1111][Arg]) were measured and modeled. The experimental temperatures were 303.2 to 323.2 K. The mass fractions of MDEA (wMDEA) and [N1111][Arg] (w[N1111][Arg]) were 0.300 to 0.500 and 0.025 to 0.075, respectively. The measured surface tension and viscosity values were satisfactorily fitted to thermodynamic models. With the aid of experimentally viscosity data, the activation energy (Ea) and H2S diffusion coefficient (DH2S) of MDEA-[N1111][Arg] aqueous solution were deduced. The surface entropy and surface enthalpy of the solutions were calculated using the fitted model of the surface tension. The quantitative relationship between the calculated values (surface tension, surface entropy, surface enthalpy, viscosity, activation energy, and H2S diffusion coefficient) and the operation conditions (mass fraction and temperature) was demonstrated.

RésuméObservations have been made of the modification produced by a temperature gradient in the shape of air bubbles in natural snow crystals, and also of the shrinkage of the bubbles with time. The rate of shrinkage is governed by a constant which is strongly temperature dependent with an activation energy of about 15.1 kcal./mole, a value sufficiently similar to the activation energy for diffusion of tritium, dielectric relaxation and mechanical relaxation to suggest that atomic diffusion processes may be responsible for all of these phenomena.
