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.

The effect of different additives Ni, Fe, Cu on the structure and properties of electrolyte system 78% Na3AlF6- -9.5%AlF3-5.0%CaF2-7.5%Al2O3 at 1200K and 1.01Mpa was studied by molecular dynamics method. The radial distribution function, coordination number, diffusion coefficient, conductivity, and viscosity of the system were discussed in detail. The results demonstrated that the order of the self-diffusion coefficient of ions in the electrolyte system is: Na+ > F- > O2- > Ca2+ >Al3+. The addition of Ni and Fe connected the free aluminum composite ion groups in the system through fluorine bridges, which enhanced the interaction between Al3+ and Al3+. The addition of Cu weakened the interaction between Al3 + and Al3+ and the F-. The interaction between Al3+ and Na+, [AlF7]4- ionic groups might appeared in the melt system. After adding NiO, Fe2O3, and Cu, the electrical conductivity of the system increased, and the viscosity decreased. The research work revealed the influence of Ni, Fe, Cu on the ion existence form, mobility, inter-ion interaction and diffusion mechanism of cryolite molten salt system, which has important guiding significance for aluminum electrolysis production.

The diffusion coefficient of 198Au in liquid Ga has been measured between 35 and 460 °C. The results can be represented by a linear plot of D vs T or by an Arrhenius plot. The latter yields the parameters D0 = 4.9·10-4 cm2/s and Q = 2.65 kcal/mol. However, some distinct departures from the straight line characteristics, showing a considerably higher “activation energy” at the low temperatures, suggest the possibility that clusters composed of two or several atoms may partake in diffusion.

ABSTRACTBasing our calculations on a realistic N-body interatomic potential for Zr, we study the vacancy migration mechanism and determine the related diffusion coefficient in the bcc phase. The form of the potential energy along the nearest-neighborjump migration path is single-peaked. The vacancy jump rate determined by molecular dynamics simulations has a perfectly Arrhenian behavior and its activation energy is very close to the static value of the vacancy migration energy, both being very low (≈ 0.3 eV) . The diffusion coefficient is in very satisfactory agreement with experiments.

ABSTRACTThe surface diffusion coefficient of sulfur on the (110) surface of nickel was determined at temperatures of 623, 673 and 723 K by measurement of surface diffusion profiles using an Auger Electron Spectrometer. A half-plane monolayer of segregated sulfur was used as a source and the analysis was done by a Boltzmann-Matano method. The activation energy for surface diffusion of sulfur was determined to be about 106 kJ/mol and pre-exponential Do to be about 6×10-3 m2/s from the Arrhenius plot of D versus 1/T. The presence of carbon on the surface of nickel was shown to decrease the surface diffusion of sulfur. Also, the mechanism of spreading from the half-plane source changed from a classic surface diffusion on clean surfaces to a linear mobility of the sulfur-carbon interface on surfaces covered with carbon.

AbstractWe present a molecular dynamics investigation on hydrogen diffusivity in crystalline quartz by computing the diffusion coefficient over a wide range of temperatures (700K < T < 1500K) and by characterizing the diffusion path and mechanism. Our main findings are: (i) hydrogen diffusion is anisotropically confined along the c-axis in α- and β-quartz; (ii) hydrogen diffuses through a jump-like mechanism; (iii) the temperature-dependent diffusivity follows an Arrhenius law with activation energy of 0.56 eV and 0.27 eV for α-and β-quartz, respectively.

Iron self-diffusion measurements in amorphous and nanocrystalline chemically homogenous multilayers (CHM) of FeZr/57FeZr, (with nm range periodicity) have been studied with neutron reflectivity technique. It has been found that both the activation energy for diffusion and the pre-factor were significantly smaller as compared with bulk alloys. Effect of compressive stress on self-diffusion reveals a significant dependence on the activation energy as a function of applied stress. On the basis of the obtained results the diffusion mechanism in amorphous and nanocrystalline CHM of FeZr/57FeZr is reviewed in this paper.

ABSTRACTOsmotic dehydration is a water removing process that carried out on a object by immersing the object into an hyper-tonic (osmotic) solution. The process is commonly applied on pre-drying of fruit.

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.

Abstract The molecular dynamics calculations of diffusion coefficients in binary Lennard-Jones systems have been carried out. The parameters of Lennard-Jones potentials correspond to argon and krypton atoms. The universal dependence of the reduced diffusion coefficient of krypton atoms on density for the homogeneous systems of low and middle densities is found. The deviations of the diffusion coefficients from the universal function are observed for the systems in the vapor – liquid phase transition region. The simulations have shown that almost all krypton atoms have situated inside the liquid phase of argon. Special numerical experiments have shown that the nanodroplets of argon are formed as a result of homogeneous nucleation and then the krypton atoms are captured by these droplets. This phenomenon decreases the diffusion coefficient of krypton atoms greatly.
