Diffusion-Coefficients of Actinide and Lanthanide Ions in Molten Li2BeF4
Diffusion coefficients of actinide and lanthanide ions in molten Li2BeF4 were measured in the temperature range from 813 to 1023 K by a capillary method. The diffusion coefficients of both ions are unusually high, considering the high viscosity of the liquids. The dependence of the diffusion coefficients on temperature and ionic charge are discussed in terms of the theories of Stokes and Einstein.
