Size and Valence Effects on the Free Energy of Binding between a Vacancy and a Solute Atom in Cu, Ag, and Au

Abstract

On the basis of experimental data on the enhancement effect of the solvent diffusivity by a small addition of solute atom, the Gibbs free energy of binding 6,, between a vacancy and a solute atom can be calculated 11, 21. Hagenschulte and Heumann /2/ have recently
