The diffusion of interstitial solute atoms, which were subject to nearest-neighbor solute-solute interactions, was simulated by means of a modified Monte Carlo method. Solute correlation factors, nearest neighbor vacancy availability factors and effective jump frequency factors were calculated as functions of composition and temperature. Compared with non-interacting atoms attraction between solute atoms always retarded diffusion whereas repulsion always enhanced diffusion except within the ordered region.
