Self-Diffusion in Solid Lithium

Here, we suggest a method to reproduce the self-diffusion coefficient of Li at various temperatures up to the melting point by starting from a single measurement. This procedure may be applicable to various categories of solids. It is based on a thermodynamical model that interrelates point defect parameters with the bulk properties that has been recently used (Dologlou, E., Glass Phys. Chem., 2009, vol. 35, no. 3, pp. 295-297) to explain the Meyer-Neldel rule for the ac conductivity of glassy alloys.
