Abstract:In this paper, the diffusion isotope effect and the Manning factor are investigated by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations in liquid Cu-Ag alloys. The values for the diffusion isotope effect parameter allow for the estimate of the number of atoms that are moving cooperatively in a basic diffusion event as ‘seen’ by a given (tracer) atom. On average, in the considered alloys and considered temperatures, this is limited to between 5 and 15. This is consistent with results of Molecular Dynamics simulations on… Show more
