ABSTRACTDiffusivities of Cr in icosahedral quasicrystals of Al-Pd-Mn system have been measured by the radioactive tracer method in combination with a precision grinding technique. The temperature dependence of the diffusivities follows the Arrhenius equation in the investigated temperature range from 850 to 1107 K. The activation energy Q = 235.5 ± 7.8 kJmol-1 and pre-exponential factor D0 = 1.2 × 10-2 m2s-1 were evaluated. The diffusion behavior is discussed in terms of a vacancy diffusion mechanism.

ABSTRACT Iron uptake and magnetite (Fe3O4) crystal formation could be studied in the microaerophilic magnetic bacteriumMagnetospirillum gryphiswaldense by using a radioactive tracer method for iron transport and a differential light-scattering technique for magnetism. Magnetite formation occurred only in a narrow range of low oxygen concentration, i.e., 2 to 7 μM O2 at 30°C. Magnetic cells stored up to 2% iron as magnetite crystals in intracytoplasmic vesicles. This extraordinary uptake of iron was coupled tightly to the biomineralization of up to 60 magnetite crystals with diameters of 42 to 45 nm.
