The isotope effect E = d In(D)/d In (1/root m) of Co diffusion in stru
cturally relaxed Co86Zr14 and Co81Zr19 glasses has been measured by me
ans of a radiotracer technique. Within experimental accuracy no isotop
e effect was detected (E < 0.04). This suggests a highly cooperative d
iffusion mechanism. The connection between diffusion and collective lo
w-frequency relaxations in glasses is discussed.
