Abstract
In a previous paper appearing in this journal (Tiwari and Mehrotra, Metall. Mater. Trans. A, vol. 43A, 2012, pp. 3654–62), the present authors advanced the hypothesis that the six-jump vacancy cycle, triple-defect mechanism, and antistructure bridge mechanism cannot explain the incidence of Kirkendall effect in B2 intermetallic compounds and hence their suitability as the operative mode of diffusion in these systems rests on dubious foundation.
