The concentration dependence of self-diffusivity is investigated by means of a novel method, extending our previously developed second-order Markov process model to periodic media. Introducing the concept of minimum-crossing surface, we obtain a unique decomposition of the self-diffusion coefficient into two parameters with specific physical meanings. Two case studies showing a maximum in self-diffusivity as a function of concentration are investigated, along with two cases where such a maximum cannot be present. Subsequently, the method is applied to the large cavity pore network of the ITQ-1 (Mobil tWenty tWo, MWW) zeolite for methane (displaying a maximum in self-diffusivity) and carbon dioxide (no maximum), explaining the diffusivity trend on the basis of the evolution of the model parameters as a function of concentration. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
