Abstract
Measurements of electromigration in single crystals of cadmium have been made as a function of orientation. The resulting values for the effective charge numbers are Z =1.54 ± 0.15 and Z⊥=3.20±0.3. The results are also expressed in terms of the effective charges for the separate atomic jumps, (1) to a vacancy in the same basal plane and (2) to a vacancy in an adjoining plane. While the parallelism of these findings with those for zinc is apparent, there is one significant difference. In cadmium vacancy creation (and annihilation) tends to alter the c-axis dimension preferentially.Keywords
