Correlations of self-diffusion coefficients and viscosity of elemental melts with properties of elements

The data on the self-diffusion coefficients values at the liquid metal melting temperature (including indium) are applied. Electrical dependences of the self-diffusion and viscosity coefficient at the melting temperature on the elements basic characteristics: atomic mass, density, melting temperature; atomic, covalent and ion radii are established. Analysis of obtained expressions for the self-diffusion coefficient is carried out. It is shown that both the value and character of temperature dependence are determined by the number of its neighbors in the nearest two, three coordination spheres
