Diffusivity of D in Zirconium Alloy
$$
D = D_0 \exp\left(-\frac{E_\mathrm{d}}{k_\mathrm{B}T}\right)
$$
[In the above formula, the Boltzmann constant is expressed in \(\mathrm{eV\,K^{-1}}\).]
- Material: Zirconium Alloy
- Method: Experiment
- Data scaled for isotope mass? No
- D0 = 4.5e-13 m2 s-1
- Ed = 0.17 eV
- T = 523 – 673 K

1.5 µm oxide layer. GNF-Ziron that has been allowed to oxidise for 10-15 days such that a layer of O developed. In situ plasma experiment. Discharge tube and vacuum used to expose the sample to plasma. Sometimes called a natural oxide.
