Av. Gorshkov, Correlations of the self-diffusion coefficients and viscosity of elementalmelts with properties of elements, INORG MATER, 36(2), 2000, pp. 167-170
The self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity of metals, Group IVA and VA el
ements, oxygen, neon, and argon at the melting point were expressed through
the basic properties of the elements (atomic weight; density; melting temp
erature; and atomic, covalent, or ionic radius). The temperature dependence
of the self-diffusion coefficient was established for melts. Possible mech
anisms of diffusion in the liquid phase were discussed.
