Less striking effects can arise in ternary systems where all three components diffuse substitutionally if their diffusivities (or mobilities) are unequal.

Less striking effects can arise in ternary systems where all three components diffuse substitutionally if their diffusivities (or mobilities) are unequal. Correct Answer True

The redistribution of an atom in the ternary system is particularly interesting when the mobilities of the two different atoms are so different. Something which is almost identical but not so common effect can arise in ternary systems. Here in this case all the 3 components can diffuse substitutionally but under the condition that their diffusivities (or mobilities) are unequal.
