Diffusion in Solid‐State Systems

This chapter is confined to diffusion in condensed matter, namely, in metals, binary alloys, and oxides. Emphasis is on very basic fundamental aspects, the contents being roughly characterized by the general theory of diffusion, diffusion coefficients, Matano-Boltzmann analysis, Kirkendall effect, Darken analysis, factors influencing diffusion, impurity diffusion in metals, grain boundary (GB) dif…
