On the basis of the van der Waals concept of Ascarelli and Paskin the hard sphere theory of self diffusion is extended to binary liquid alloys. Using only the melting temperature of the pure metals and the densities, component self-diffusion coefficients and, with the help of Darken’s equation, mutual diffusion coefficients were calculated. Agreement with experimental results is good in (Bi, Sn), and excellent in (Sn, Zn) and (Li, Ag). Impurity diffusion in liquid Cu, Sn and Pb is predicted better than by the theory of Protopapas et al. Deviations in (Hg, Zn) and (Li, Pb) are tentatively attributed to strong particle interactions in one component (Hg) or in the alloy (Li, Pb).

There are a number of well-known empirical relations for diffusion in solids. For example the proportionality between the self-diffusion activation energy and melting point or between the entropy of the diffusion and the ratio of activation energy and the melting point (Zener rule) are perhaps the best known ‘rules of thumb’. We have shown earlier in our Laboratory, that these relations are direct consequences of the similarity of interatomic potentials seen by ions in solids. On the basis of this, similar relations were extended for impurity and self diffusion in binary solid alloys. In this paper, results for binary liquid mixtures will be reviewed. First a minimum derivation of the temperature dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient, D, is presented (minimum derivation in the sense that it states only that the reduced (dimensionless) D should be a universal function of the reduced temperature), using the similarity of interatomic potentials and dimensional analysis. Then the extension of this relation for determination of the pressure and composition dependence of the self-diffusion coefficients is described using pressure and composition dependent scaling parameters (melting point, atomic volume and mass). The obtained universal form (valid for binary liquid alloys) is very useful for the estimation of the temperature, composition and pressure dependence of the self-diffusion coefficients. Finally, the relation for the ratio of the impurity and self-diffusion coefficients is derived.

The large asymmetry observed in the properties of mixing of indium-sodium liquid alloy is discussed on the basis of quasi-lattice chemical model. A special attention is given to the concentration dependence of free energy of mixing, entropy of mixing and heat of mixing. The results explain the observed asymmetry in the properties of mixing of InNa liquid alloys around equi-atomic composition. Key words: Complex forming alloys; Binary liquid alloys; Quasi-lattice model; Thermodynamic properties. DOI: 10.3126/sw.v6i6.2627 Scientific World, Vol. 6, No. 6, July 2008 16-18

We have used a formalism that connects thermodynamic and transport properties. The formalism has been used to calculate the Gibb’s free energy of mixing, concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit, diffusion coefficients and viscosity in Cu-Tl, Cu-Pb and Sn-Tl binary liquid alloys at 1573K, 1473K and 723K respectively with aid of size effect and no size effect. Our calculations show that appreciable size ratio has more effects on the transport properties as compared to thermodynamic properties of homo-coordinated liquid alloys Cu-Tl, Cu-Pb and Sn-Tl.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2015, 20(2): 140-144

Abstract Self diffusion coefficients and densities from a series of commercial silicones have been studied in the temperature range between 290 and 410 K at pressures up to 200 MPa. The densities are fitted to a modified Tait equation. The self diffusion coefficients are discussed in terms of the rough hard sphere model and tested against the Rouse-model.

Abstract A description is given of a method developed for diffusion and electrotransport measurements in liquids, which permits several successive readings on a sample in uninterrupted anneal. Errors from solidification and sectioning are avoided, and the reproducibility of measured diffusion coefficients is better than two percent. Experimental results are given for gallium self-diffusion. The present apparatus can be conveniently applied to many liquids solidifying below some 280 °C utilizing gamma tracers with energies in the range 0.2 - 2.0 MeV. The design can be modified for higher temperatures.
