Abstract
The diffusion of Sn-113 and Au-195 in pure gold and dilute tin -gold alloys has been measured at different temperatures and tin concentrations in coarse-grained specimens. In addition the dependence on concentration of the chemical diffusion coefficient and the diffusion of tin in gold at very low impurity concentrations has been determined using the electron microprobe. It was found, that the self-diffusion coefficient of tin as well as that of gold increased strongly with in-creasing impurity content. The thermodynamic factor is equal to one up to ca. 0.5 at.-% tin. For the correlation factor of the diffusion of tin in gold, calculated by the relation of Lidiard, an essentially temperature independent value is obtained. A comparison of the experimental results with the model of Le Claire concerning the impurity diffusion in metals shows, that this model seems to require a too-large temperature dependence of the correlation factor
