Abstract:
On the example of typical metals, it’s found that the activation energy of self-diffusion is above of
the melting heat and below of vaporization heat. This corresponds to the existence of liquid-mobile
particle classification based on the concept of randomized particles. A formula for estimating
the activation energy of self-diffusion by which it is approximately half of the heat of evaporation
of the substance is recommended. We derive the temperature dependence for a fraction self-diffusion’s
particles.
