Description/Abstract:
QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF THE ELECTRODIFFUSION RATES OF FE, CO, NI, AND CU IN GAMMA-CE ARE PROPORTIONAL TO THE POTENTIAL GRADIENT AND INDEPENDENT OF TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 495-650 C. ACTIVATON ENERGIES HAVE BEEN CALCULATED. THESE RESULTS INDICATE THAT ELECTRODIFFUSION IN CE IS BY GRAIN BOUNDARIES. IN GAMMA-U AND ESPILON PU THE DATA AND CALCULATED ACTIVATION ENERGIES FOR ELECTRODIFFUSION OF FE ARE INCONSISTANT WITH A MECHANISM OF VOLUME DIFFUSION.
