Abstract
By examining the reported data on the self-diffusion in metals, inert-gas c rystals, and silicon and the diffusion of impurities in silicon and silver, it is shown that the activation energy of diffusion can be related to the entropy of melting of the diffuser and the melting point of the host materi al.
