An Introduction to Fundamentals of Diffusion in Solid State Materials

Diffusion, the movement of atoms in a material, is an integral part of many metallurgical and materials treatment processes. Understanding diffusion mechanisms helps to control and improve materials properties. This book offers a comprehensive overview of diffusion in the synthesis and analysis of materials (metals and non‑metals) from the fundamentals through applications.

• Discusses defects in materials, fundamentals of the diffusion process, and different diffusion mechanisms active in ...
