A Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the drift of an ionic impurity in an electric field. Application was made to impurity diffusion via the agency of a vacancy in the face-centered-cubic lattice. The calculation was couched in terms of the five-frequency model of Manning. The computer simulation results for the drift distance were found to be in excellent agreement with the predictions of the equation derived analytically by Manning.
