TY - GEN A1 - Griesche, Axel T1 - Influence of thermodynamic forces on diffusion in melts T2 - TMS 2011 N2 - We report about diffusion measurements and molecular dynamic simulations in Al-Ni and Al-Cu melts. Capillary methods were used to measure Ni and Cu self diffusion and to measure interdiffusion. The combination of the capillary set-up with X-ray radiography allowed in-situ detecting of convective contributions to the interdiffusion transport by tracking the time dependence of diffusion. Thus, the determination of the interdiffusion coefficient can be restricted to convection-free experiment times resulting in an increased accuracy of the measured interdiffusion coefficient. Additionally, quasielastic neutron scattering was used to measure convection-free Ni and Cu self diffusion. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to determine all diffusion coefficients and the thermodynamic factor. The comparison between experiment and simulation shows an excellent agreement of the interdiffusion coefficients as a function of temperature. It was found that interdiffusion is enhanced by thermodynamic forces with a maximum around the stoichiometric composition.
