Consider an atom diffuses in a 3 D simple cubic lattice by a random walk mechanism. The atom jumps 6 x 1 0 - 5

Consider an atom diffuses in a 3D simple cubic lattice by a random walk mechanism. The atom jumps 6x10-5 times per second at 300K and 3x104 times per second at 600K.
Assuming that the vibrational frequency (f) of the atom keeps constant for all the 
temperatures considered.

(a) At what temperature will the jumping be increased to 1.6 times 107 times per second?

(b) Considering the distance (r) that the atom can move away from its original position in 1 minute at two different temperatures, 300 K and 1500 K, what is the ratio of r at 1500K to that at 300K?


 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Step by Step Solution

There are 3 Steps involved in it

Step: 1

a To determine at what temperature the jumping rate will be increased to 16 x 107 times per second we can use the Arrhenius equation which relates the rate constant jumping rate in this case to temper... blur-text-image
