Abstract

The chemical potential and diffusivity of interstitial solute atoms was calculated for disordered materials in a general way. Disorder may be of chemical nature as in alloys or caused by a strain field as around dislocations and a crack tip or disorder may be as total as in an amorphous alloy. For these examples of disordered systems relations were derived from a general expression and compared with corresponding special theoretical results which are mostly related to attractive interaction (trapping) and repulsive interaction (antitrapping) between interstitially and substitutionally dissolved impurity atoms. A comparison with experimental results is namely made for the solubility and diffusivity of hydrogen in dilute alloys, deformed Fe and Pd and amorphous Pd 77.5Si 16.5Cu 6 and Ni 64Zr 36.
