it is a type of diffusion mechanism. there are two types, self and normal. in self i. diffusion case (e.g. Si) a Si atom goes into the lattice space and diffuses other spaces. In normal case (e.g. C in Fe) a different atom diffuses inside the crystal lattice of another atom.

Compare Interstitial and Vacancy Atomic mechanism for Diffusion?

(a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion. (b) Cite two reasons why interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion. Solution (a) With vacancy diffusion, atomic motion is from one lattice site to an adjacent vacancy. Self-diffusion and the diffusion of substitutional impurities proceed via this mechanism. On the other hand, atomic motion is from interstitial site to adjacent interstitial site for the interstitial diffusion mechanism. (b) Interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion because: (1) interstitial atoms, being smaller, are more mobile; and (2) the probability of an empty adjacent interstitial site is greater than for a vacancy adjacent to a host (or substitutional impurity) atom.


What is the difference between interstitial and vacancy diffusion?

The main difference is atoms that which are channelled through the diffusing process where the atoms stick to the molecular structure of a material this only happens in interstitial diffusion where in vacancy diffusion the atoms reppelled away hence the word vacancy.

How are oxygen and nutrients passed to cells?

Capillaries allow Glucose and oxygen to move out of the blood in the capillaries into interstitial fluid and into the cells. Fluid is exchanged between capillary blood and interstitial fluid.
