Diffusion coefficients of various interstitials
Figs.IV.11 and 12: Temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient for hydrogen (full line),deuterium (dashed line) and tritium (dotted line) in FCC metals (blue curves) and in BCC metals (redcurves). The host metals are indicated by their symbols. Note the extreme influence of the crystalstructure in the case of the PdCu alloy.
