N2 - An accurate determination of transport coefficients in liquids, such as diffusivity, is crucial for studying fundamental chemical processes, for constructing and verifying model theories of liquid, and for the optimization of technological processes. However, a reliable experimental determination of the diffusivity is a difficult and sometimes nearly impossible task. In this regard, the development of model theories that allow calculating characteristics of atomic transport is of special interest. Here, the concentration dependencies of the self-diffusion coefficients of the components in Cu-Ag, Cu-Au, and Ag-Au liquid alloys at T = 1423 K and T = 1573 K are calculated in the framework of the linear trajectory approximation in conjunction with the square-well model and the semi-analytical representation of the mean spherical approximation. We reveal that peculiarities in the behavior of the obtained dependencies are related to the peculiarities of the phase diagrams of the alloys under consideration. Additionally, we verify our calculation method on Al80-Cu20 and Al80-Au20 liquid alloys. The results obtained are in good agreement with available experimental and molecular-dynamic simulation data. In the cases when the experimental information is not available, the presented results can be considered as predictive to estimate the quantities under consideration approximately. © 2022 by the authors.
