The migration of small homovalent cations in the monocrystalline material was studied by using tracer/sectioning methods. It was found that the results (table 201) could be described by the expression:

D (cm2/s) = 30.7 exp[-35.13(kcal/mol)/RT]

It was concluded that the diffusion behavior of the cations was in good agreement with the so-called displaced homovalent small-radius cation model.
