Abstract

An empirical two-parameter representation of ternary diffusion paths has been proposed by Dayananda and Kim. Their proposal has been tested on a hypothetical ternary diffusing system with constant diffusion coefficients for which the exact diffusion paths can be calculated analytically. It is found that the error in using the two-parameter representation rather than the true diffusion path is strongly dependent on the value of the ratio of the terminal relative concentration differences of the diffusion couple selected for analysis.
