Defect Diffus Forum. 129-130:1996;163-180 Shows that a quantitative fitting is possible for the time and length-scale dependences of interdiffusivity which arise from diffusion-induced stresses. From the fitting chemical diffusivities of individual species can be derived as well as the viscosity of the material.
