Measurement of diffusion coefficient in liquid metal under static magnetic field

Temperature dependence of interdiffusion coefficient of In-Sn was measured by a capillary method under a static magnetic field. The obtained diffusion coefficient data agreed well with data measured in microgravity environment at a lower temperature range. The application of static magnetic field could be a good substitute method for accurate measurement of diffusion coefficients in substitution for utilization of the microgravity environment.
