The proximity ( d 12 ) between a diffusing species and its host crystal necessary for a successful diffusion for diffusion‐controlled crystallization of barium tungstate from sodium tungstate melts in platinum crucibles was estimated. These distances increased with increased cooling rates ( R T ) and crystallization temperatures ( T 0 ). Energy ( E ), enthalpy (Δ H a ), entropy (Δ S a ) and free‐energy (Δ G a ) of activation and the pre‐exponential factor ( k 0 ) were evaluated using an ordinary Arrhenius equation k D1 = k 0 e − E / RT , where k D1 was the diffusion rate‐constant. These parameters were virtually unaffected by the changes in T 0 and R T .
