description

Abstract The semi-empirical method and 224 atom quantum clusters were used for calculating the activation energy for diffusion of cation and anion vacancies and F-centers in KCl crystals. The relevant activation energies of 1.19 eV, 1.44 eV and 1.64 eV, respectively agree well with the experimental data.
