The first order approximation model for the computation of diffusion limited mass transport rates for the Hg 0.8 Cd 0.2 Te‐iodine system, based on Te‐saturated source materials [1], was extended to include source compositions within the homogeneity range. This required the consideration of Hg vacancy formation, and the experimental employment of excess elemental mercury in the system. The close agreement between computed and observed (vertical, stabilizing conditions) mass transport rates supports the validity of this model.
