A single crystal of fcc iron (a = 3.6468 ) having a few ppm of interstitial carbon

Question:

A single crystal of fcc iron (a = 3.6468 Å) having a few ppm of interstitial carbon is kept at 1000 °C and isolated from its surroundings.

Assume Dc = 2.217x10- m/s for the self-diffusion coefficient of interstitial carbon along a via octahedral

(a) State the probability of a vibration of C becoming a jump. 

(b) State the total length of the path a carbon atom travels in one minute. 

(c) State that atom's root mean square displacement from its position a minute earlier. 

(d) Calculate the hopping activation Gibbs energy per mole of interstitial carbon defects.
