Dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient D in ethane on pres sure at various constant temperatures. (VIII. MAGNETIC RESONANCE) Proton spin echoes were used for this purpose.1 The equation of state was determined very approximately by measuring the pressure dependence of free-induction decay amplitudes at various constant temperatures. Thus it was possible to show (as anticipated) that the free-volume theory, which could be used to fit our earlier results at constant the experimental density dependence.

The dotted and dashed lines show the predictions of the Doolittle 3 and of the CohenTurnbull 4 versions of free-volume theory, measurements at constant pressure with the parameters that fit our previous used.
