The self-diffusion coefficient of niobium was measured as a function of temperature. Procedures were developed for the preparation of NbCl/sub 5/ from a solution of radioactive Nb/sup 95/ in oxalic acid, and the subsequent vapor plating of a radioactive metallic layer from this volatile compound. Initial measurements made at 2000 and 1800 deg C yield values for the self-diffusion coefficient of 3.2 x 10/sup -9/ cm/sup 2/sec and 1.7 x 10/sup 10/ cm/sup 2/sec, respectively. (auth)
