New Analyzing Approaches for In Situ Interdiffusion Experiments to Determine Concentration-Dependent Diffusion Coefficients in Liquid Al–Au

Interdiffusion coefficients are key parameters for the solidification process of liquid alloys. However, the determination of interdiffusion coefficients in liquid metals at high temperatures is a challenging and extensive task, due to a variety of potential systematic errors. In recent years we hav...
