It is hard to measure the liquid diffusion coefficients on the ground because of the buoyancy convection. The highly precise liquid diffusion coefficient at high temperature is needed to clarify the diffusion mechanisms. In order to measure the liquid diffusion coefficients on the ground and to grasp the limitation of the ground experiments, the techniques for ground diffusion experiments based on the shear cell method was established. This technique is how to make thin and uniform samples and how to analyze the concentration of diffusion samples. The diffusion couple of Ag and Ag(0.95)Au(0.05) was selected and diffused at 1,273 K for four minutes. The diffusion coefficient was obtained as 3.0 x 10(exp -9) sq m/sec at 1.273 K.
