The diffusive behavior of Re on various W surfaces was studied. The results could be described by:

(110):     D (cm2/s) = 1.5 x 10-2 exp[-23.9(kcal/mol)/RT]

(211):     D (cm2/s) = 1.1 x 10-2 exp[-20.3(kcal/mol)/RT]

(321):     D (cm2/s) = 4.8 x 10-4 exp[-20.4(kcal/mol)/RT]

The best linear fits to the solute diffusion data ([5] to [25]) yield:

H (sd): Ln[Do] = 1.49E – 21 (R2 = 0.87); W(sd): Ln[Do] = 0.33E – 16.1 (R2 = 0.63)
