Correlation Between Atomic Transitions: A New Method of Calculation

摘要

All the methods used until now for treating the correlation have been approximate: they do not permit the defect responsible for diffusion to recede to infinity in the crystal. One presents a rigorous method permitting an exact calculation of the correlation by means of a double Fourier-Laplace transformation. This new method makes it possible simultaneously: to reformulate synthetically all the correlation problems previously treated sporadically in the literature; to treat problems never yet solved (effect of the concentration of vacancies on the correlation factor; self-diffusion by dissociated interstitial.
