Bulk diffusion of Mn in α-iron — •Vladislav Kulitckii, Sergiy Divinski, and Gerhard Wilde — Institut für Materialphysik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Münster, Germany

The impact of a magnetic transition on bulk diffusion of Mn in α-iron is studied by microtome (higher temperatures) - and ion-beam sputtering (low temperatures) - sectioning using the radioactive isotope 54Mn. The experiments were performed in the temperature range of 773 to 1173 K. In contrast to the case of self-diffusion [1, 2], a marginal * if any * impact of the magnetic transition in α-Fe on Mn bulk diffusion is observed with almost the same linear Arrhenius dependences below and above the Curie temperature. No distinct deviation from a linear Arrhenius temperature dependence is observed and the Mn bulk diffusion coefficient can be given by the pre-exponential factor D0 = 2.87*10-2 m2/s and the activation enthalpy Q = 282.8* 6.7 kJ/mol in the whole temperature interval under investigation.
