Abstract

Studies were made to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of point defect transport in simple metals and in crystals of the silver halides. Experiments performed include: (a) effect of composition on diffusion in Ag-Au alloys and Ag-Cd alloys; (b) effect of a vacancy flux on diffusion; (c) diffusion of solutes in aluminum and its dilute alloys; (d) dislocation effects in Cu$sub 3$Au; (e) role of electronic structure and ionic radius in diffusion of cations in AgCl; (f) effects of ionic radius on halide impurity ion diffusion in AgCl and AgBr; (g) production of excess point defects in AgCl by deformation and by quenching; and, (h) the kinetics of the pinning of dislocations by point defects in AgBr crystals.
