Viscosity and Self-Diffusion of Liquid Metals

Aristid V. Grosse 1

1 Research Institute of Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19144

It is demonstrated that the empirical relationship between activation energy of viscosity and the melting point of a metal is also true for the energy of self-diffusion, in view of the Stokes-Einstein relation. The provision is that viscosity and self-diffusion be expressed in a self-consistent manner, as provided, for example, by the J. Frenkel's theory of liquids. Thus, one can now estimate either the viscosity or the self-diffusion of any metal over a substantial temperature range from its known melting point.
