An investigation was made of the Gorsky effect by using internal friction measurements at temperatures ranging from 110 to 930K. The diffusion behaviours within this temperature range were described by:

D:     D (cm2/s) = 3.1 x 10-4 exp[-0.073(eV)/kT]

H:     D (cm2/s) = 4.4 x 10-4 exp[-0.059(eV)/kT]
