A non-destructive and on-line diffusion tracing in Li ionic conductors has been successfully conducted by using the short-lived -emitting radiotracer of Li. The radiotracers produced as an energetic and pulsed ion beam are implanted into the Li ionic conductor of NaTl-type intermetallic compounds (-LiAl, -LiGa, and -LiIn). The -particles survived on their passage from the position emitted by the diffusing Li to the surface of the specimen are measured as a function of time. The diffusion coefficients of Li obtained for the NaTl-type intermetallic compounds with different Li compositions are quantitatively discussed in terms of the interaction between the structural defects in the specimen and Li.
