Coefficients of Cu+ diffusion in the , , and phases (table 13) were measured by using an in situ tracer technique. It was found that diffusion in the and phases obeyed an Arrhenius law within the measured temperature ranges, and the activation energies were estimated to be 1.21 and 0.324eV, respectively. A comparison of the diffusion coefficients which were measured by using the in situ tracer diffusion technique, with diffusion coefficients which were deduced from conductivity data, suggested that a non charge-carrying diffusion mechanism was operating in copper halides.
