In the course of an exploration of the diffusion processes in white dwarfs, the role of the radiative acceleration has been investigated in detail and found to be quite important in hot white dwarfs (Vauclair, Vauclair and Greenstein, 1979; hereafter referred to as V2G). In view of the increasing interest accorded to hot white dwarfs which become accessible to observations in the ultraviolet owing to satellites like IUE, it appeared quite relevant to obtain theoretical predictions of the effect of the diffusion of metals in hot white dwarfs. This short note is a summary of the results presented in more detail elsewhere (V2G).
