The correlation factor is an essential parameter for atomic transport in solids. In the case of self-diffusion, the correlation factor can be calculated easily from the lattice geometry, if the diffusion mechanism is known. Since the solute atoms modify the vacancy concentration and jump rates, measuring the solute diffusion correlation factor is a complicated task. While the first principles simulations have enabled computing the correlation factor within the framework of simplified models such as the five vacancy jump frequency model for fcc crystals, its experimental determination has never been performed. In this work, we contribute to the first measurements of the correlation factor of solute diffusion combining long-range diffusion measurements and perturbed angular correlation (PAC) experiments. The diffusion coefficient of Cd was measured at a temperature of 1073 K within the cubic L12 ordered Ni3Al crystal structure and the impurity jump frequency was determined at the same temperature. The experimental findings are finally combined to evaluate the correlation factor of Cd atoms in the Ni3Al sublattice.
