The serial sectioning technique was used to investigate the simultaneous diffusion of 85Sr and 57Co into single crystals with a divalent impurity concentration of about 5 x 10-7/cm3. The data for temperatures ranging from 600 to 750C, could be described by:

D (cm2/s) = 6.4 x 10-6 exp[-0.96(eV)/kT]

in the near-surface region, and by:

D (cm2/s) = 2.8 x 10-3 exp[-1.06(eV)/kT]

in the bulk
