Abstract
Separate measurements were made at 150 °C of the simultaneous diffusion of sodium isotopes ( and ) and silver isotopes ( and ) in lithium. The strength of the isotope effect for sodium is 0.19 ± 0.01 and for silver 0.26 ± 0.01. These values do not correlate well with recent calculations of determined for impurity diffusion on the basis of the dynamical theory of diffusion. Measurement of the diffusion of silver in lithium is 45% greater than earlier data, and a possible explanation for this discrepancy is given.
