Interstitialcy

An alternative mechanism by which interstitial atoms can diffuse involves a jump to a normally occupied site together with simultaneous displacement of the occupant into a neighboring interstitial site. This knock-on process is called interstitialcy diffusion. [Pg.217]

When Schottky defects are present in a crystal, vacancies occur on both the cation and anion sublattices, allowing both cation and anion vacancy diffusion to occur (Fig. 5.12a). In the case of Frenkel defects interstitial, interstitialcy, and vacancy diffusion can take place in the same crystal with respect to the atoms forming the Frenkel defect population (Fig. 5.12b). [Pg.221]

The above two mechanisms may be regarded as isolated ion hops. Sometimes, especially in solid electrolytes, cooperative ion migration occurs. An example is shown in Fig. 2.1(c) for the so-called interstitialcy or knock-on mechanism. A Na" ion. A, in an interstitial site in the conduction plane of j -alumina (see later) cannot move unless it persuades one of the three surrounding Na ions, B, C or D, to move first. Ion A is shown moving in direction 1 and, at the same time, ion B hops out of its lattice site in either of the directions, 2 or 2. It is believed that interstitial Ag" ions in AgCl also migrate by an interstitialcy mechanism, rather than by a direct interstitial hop. [Pg.8]

In jS-alumina, Na ions appear to move by means of a knock-on or interstitialcy mechanism in which it is convenient to regard the excess Na ions as occupying interstitial sites. When these sites are nearly empty, as in crystals of composition close to the NaAlnOi, stoichiometry, then the conductivity is much reduced. In /S"-alumina, by contrast, it is more appropriate to regard conduction as a vacancy process in which the limiting composition without vacancies would correspond to NaAljOg. [Pg.29]

An interesting feature of the conduction mechanism in these materials and the LISICONS is that it is, at least partially, an interstitialcy mechanism. Both structure types contain examples of face-sharing tetrahedral sites. Fig. 2.13. Such sites are much too close together for both to be occupied simultaneously. Crystal structure refinements show that often, on average, one site of each pair contains a Li ion but the occupancy appears to be random. This means that, during conduction, one site of each pair may contain a Li ion but this is ejected when an incoming... [Pg.35]

Interstitialcy migration depends on the geometry of the interstitial defect. However, an a priori prediction of interstitial defect geometry is not straightforward in real materials. For an f.c.c. crystal, a variety of conceivable interstitial defect candidates are illustrated in Fig. 8.5. The lowest-energy defect will be stable and predominant. For example, in the f.c.c. metal Cu, the stable configuration is the (100) split-dumbbell configuration in Fig. 8.5d [3]. [Pg.165]

Diffusion by the interstitial mechanism and by the interstitialcy mechanism are quite different processes and should not be confused. Diffusion by the vacancy and interstitialcy mechanisms requires the presence of point defects in the system, whereas diffusion by the ring and interstitial mechanisms does not. [Pg.167]

Diffusion of Self-Interstitial Imperfections by the Interstitialcy Mechanism in the F.C.C. Structure. For f.c.c. copper, self-interstitials have the (100) split-dumbbell configuration shown in Fig. 8.5d and migrate by the interstitialcy mechanism illustrated in Fig. 8.6. The jumping is uncorrelated,8 (f = 1), and a/ /2 is the nearest-neighbor distance, so... [Pg.176]

Self-Diffusion by the Interstitialcy Mechanism. If their formation energy is not too large, the equilibrium population of self-interstitials may be large enough to contribute to the self-diffusivity. In this case, the self-diffusivity is similar to that for self-diffusion via the vacancy mechanism (Eq. 8.19) with the vacancy formation and migration energies replaced by corresponding self-interstitial quantities. The... [Pg.176]

Self-diffusion of Ag cations in the silver halides involves Frenkel defects (equal numbers of vacancies and interstitials as seen in Fig. 8.116). In a manner similar to the Schottky defects, their equilibrium population density appears in the diffusivity. Both types of sites in the Frenkel complex—vacancy and interstitial— may contribute to the diffusion. However, for AgBr, experimental data indicate that cation diffusion by the interstitialcy mechanism is dominant [4]. The cation Frenkel pair formation reaction is... [Pg.179]

The activation energy for self-diffusivity of the Ag cations by the interstitialcy mechanisms is the sum of one-half the Frenkel defect formation enthalpy and the activation enthalpy for migration,... [Pg.179]

It has sometimes been claimed that the observation of a Kirkendall effect implies that the diffusion occurred by a vacancy mechanism. However, a Kirkendall effect can be produced just as well by the interstitialcy mechanism. Explain why this is so. [Pg.190]

Solution. Substitutional atoms of type 1 may diffuse more rapidly than atoms of type 2 if they diffuse independently by the interstitialcy mechanism in Fig. 8.4. To sustain the unequal fluxes, interstitial-atom defects can be created at climbing dislocations acting... [Pg.190]

A mechanism related to interstitial diffusion is the interstitialcy mechanism. In this process, an interstitial atom moves into a lattice site by dis-... [Pg.279]

For diffusion models based on self-interstitials, C° Cv°. Dopant diffusion and self-diffusion are assumed to occur via an interstitialcy mechanism (32). Mobile complexes consisting of self-interstitials in various charge states and impurities are assumed to exist. [Pg.290]

Growth of oxidation-induced stacking faults proceeds by the absorption of the generated self-interstitials. Oxidation-enhanced diffusion can occur as a result of the presence of the excess interstitials via the Watkins (36) replacement mechanism or by an interstitialcy process. [Pg.296]
