Abstract
The theory of temperature spikes is generalized to account for the coupling between conduction electrons and lattice atoms. This theory is used to revise the phenomenological model of atomic mixing. The revised model predicts mixing efficiencies in agreement with experimental observations and is capable of explaining the widely different values of mixing efficiencies in near-neighbor transition metals.Keywords
