Relationships Between Self-, Tracer, Chemical, Ambipolar, and Defect Diffusion Coefficients

5 Relationships Between Self-, Tracer, Chemical, Ambipolar, and Defect Diffusion Coefficients 

Up to this point, quite a number of diffusion coefficients, listed below, have been introduced. For the reader not well versed in the field, this could lead, understandably enough, to some confusion. The purpose of this section is to shed some light on the subject. 

During the course of this chapter, the following diffusion coefficients were introduced and discussed  

Self-diffusion This is a measure of the ease and frequency with which 

A atoms hop in pure A, but it applies equally to compounds M X j where the species M and X form two independent sublattices.
