Abstract

The diffusion coefficient of liquid aluminium has been obtained through coherent quasielastic neutron scattering. The resulting values agree well with calculations derived from the viscosity applying the Stokes-Einstein relation and with ab initio calculations. The temperature dependence of the diffusion constant displays an Arrhenius-type behavior with a single activation energy of 274 meV, consistent with results obtained by utilizing embedded atom method potentials.
