a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion.
(b) Cite two reasons why interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion.
Solution
(a) With vacancy diffusion, atomic motion is from one lattice site to an adjacent vacancy. Self-
diffusion and the
diffusion of substitutional impurities proceed via this mechanism. On the other hand, atomic
motion is from
interstitial site to adjacent interstitial site for the interstitial diffusion mechanism.
(b) Interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion because: (1) interstitial
atoms, being smaller,
are more mobile; and (2) the probability of an empty adjacent interstitial site is greater than for a
vacancy adjacent
to a host (or substitutional impurity) atom.
