The migration of Cu in amorphous samples was measured, at 573 to 645K, by using secondary ion mass spectrometry. The experiments were performed on pre-relaxed specimens, and the diffusion coefficients were found to be between 3.0 x 10-24 and 9.0 x 10-21m2/s. The temperature dependence of the diffusivity was of Arrhenius type, and the data (table 150) could be described by:

D (m2/s) = 1.3 x 101exp[-2.73(eV/atom)/kT]

The results suggested the possible existence of a size-dependence of the diffusivity.
