The self-diffusion mechanism in solid sodium has been determined by means of NMR. For that purpose, the spin-lattice relaxation times ${T}_{1}$ and ${T}_{1\ensuremath{\rho}}$ and the Knight shift $K$ of $^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ in ultrapure sodium have been measured as a function of temperature in the range of $10l~Tl~371$ K (melting point). At all temperatures, the Zeeman relaxation time ${T}_{1}$ is determined by conduction electrons leading to a volume-corrected Korringa relation of ${T}_{1}T=4.68\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.13$ K s. In the temperature range 150-280 K, an additional contribution to the rotating-frame relaxation rate, ${T}_{1\ensuremath{\rho}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, arising from fluctuations in the nuclear dipole interaction due to atomic self-diffusion is observed. By comparing the motion-induced part of the relaxation rate with the tracer measurements of Mundy, the correlation factor and thus the self-diffusion mechanism in sodium is determined. The following three diffusion mechanisms have been assumed to interpret the observed curvature in the Arrhenius plot: (1) a combination of mono- and divacancies; (2) monovacancies alone with a temperature-dependent pre-exponential factor and activation enthalpy; and (3) monovacancies with the possibility of vacancy double jumps. It is found that the temperature dependence of the measured correlation factor is consistent with the simultaneous migration of mono- and divacancies while the other two mechanisms can be ruled out as solely responsible for the observed effects.
