The phenomenological Boltzmann–Matano (B–M) analysis argues that a concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient D(X) relates to infinite binary diffusion couple experiments by the solute conserving, flux-formulated non-linear parabolic equation in terms of the non-conserved mole fraction X:−λ2dXdλ=ddλD(X)dXdλIn contradiction, this contribution proves that for stable substitutional Vegard's law solutions, in which D(X) is empirically defined by a series of incremental couples, this D(X) must consistently lie outside the second derivative on the right. The base equation has accordingly to be replaced by a Ginzburg–Landau variational equation in which a solute-conserving flux is denied entry to the theoretical structure. In the ternary generalization solute fluxes are likewise not defined so the concept of a “zero-flux plane” must be re-examined. Furthermore, in this ternary formulation volume and molar mass remain conserved, and as in the binary case their corresponding neutral planes are not coincident.
