Self-diffusion Information & Self-diffusion Links at HealthHaven.com

According to IUPAC definition,^[1] self-diffusion coefficient is the diffusion coefficient $D_i^*$ of species $i$ when the chemical potential gradient equals zero. It is linked to the diffusion coefficient $D i$ by the equation:

$D_i^*=D_i\frac{\partial\ln c_i}{\partial\ln a_i}.$

Here, $a i$ is the activity of the species $i$ in the solution and $c i$ is the concentration of $i$ .
