Various transport properties were measured in monocrystals of pure Co1-xO, where x was between 0.003 and 0.044. The 60Co diffusion coefficient was determined at 1200C, for partial pressures of between 0.21 and 32atm and temperatures of between 1064 and 1200C; under a partial pressure of 3.7atm. All of the results exhibited a greater O partial pressure dependence (table 54) than that which was expected on the basis of a point defect theory which assumed the existence of ideal solutions.
