Measurements of interdiffusion coefficients in metallic melts at high temperature under horizontal static magnetic field

摘要

Application of a uniform magnetic field is expected to be a promising substitute for utilization of the microgravity environment from the view point of damping of convection in electrically conductive fluid. Measurements of interdiffusion coefficients in In_(80)Sn_(20), Sn_(95)Pb_5, and Ge_(97.5)Si_(2.5) melts were performed in a wide temperature range up to 1473 K under a uniform and horizontal static magnetic field of 1 T by utilizing the magneto-hydrodynamics effect in these melts.
