Atomic Mobilities in the Ag-Cu-Sn Face-Centered Cubic Lattice

Knowledge of atomic mobilities is necessary to predict the evolution of microstructure. The theoretical description of atomic mobilities is connected to the chemical potentials of the components in a given phase. A new thermodynamic description of the quaternary Ag-Cu-In-Sn system was recently published, and it is clear that a new description of the mobilities is also necessary. Based on the available literature and using Dictra software, optimization of the mobility parameters of silver, copper, and tin in the face-centered cubic phase was carried out. The results were compared with relevant data from literature as well as with our own experimental results. Good agreement between calculations and experiment was obtained.
