A new method for investigation of diffusion processes in liquid metals with solid/liquid–liquid/solid trilayer systems is described. The design of this kind of trilayers enables diffusion processes with no effects from gravity-induced convection and Maragoni-convection conditions. The Ta/Zn–Sn/Si trilayers were prepared and the interdiffusion of liquid zinc and tin at 500 °C was investigated. The interdiffusion coefficients range from 1.0×10−4 to 2.8×10−4 mm2/s, which are less than previous values measured by capillary reservoir technique under 1 g environment where various kinds of convection exist. It is the removing of disturbances of these kinds of convection that brings about the precise interdiffusion coefficients in liquid metals. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
