Solutal diffusion coefficient for liquid PbTe-SnTe

Abstract

The solutal diffusion coefficient has been determined for liquid lead telluride-tin telluride using a modified shear cell technique. Postdiffusion concentration profiles are presented for several diffusion couples. The best analytical curve fit to the data gives a composition-dependent diffusion coefficient of (/3/7/ to the C power) x 0.00014 sq cm/sec, where C is the PbTe concentration. In addition, data are presented to show the importance of solutal convection in the lead-tin-telluride system.
