Abstract—Here, we suggest a method to reproduce the self-diffusion coefficient of Li at various temperatures up to
the melting point by starting from a single measurement. This procedure may be applicable to various categories of
solids. It is based on a thermodynamical model that interrelates point defect parameters with the bulk properties that
has been recently used (Dologlou, E., Glass Phys. Chem., 2009, vol. 35, no. 3, pp. 295–297) to explain the Meyer–
Neldel rule for the ac conductivity of glassy alloys.

Key words: diffusion, defect properties, elastic properties
