“…Considering the summary diffusion flow in the alloy as isotropic, in the first approximation, we assumed that D ef = D ᮀ , ef N ᮀ , where D ᮀ , ef and N ᮀ are the apparent diffusivity and the atomic part of monovacancies. 1 It is important that this relation is applicable also to nonequilibrium vacancies [12,13,[17][18][19], the main source of which in our case is supposedly the selective dissolution (SD) of silver [3,7,[20][21][22]. As the possible sinks of vacancies, we considered the formation of bivacancies in a quasi-chemical reaction ᮀ + ᮀ 2 ᮀ with a rate constant k 2 , as well as the assimilation of monovacancies by the linear and planar structure defects.…”
