Definitions of Terms For Diffusion
In The Solid State
Prepared by M. Kizilyalli, J. Corish,
and R.Metselarr
This document provides definitions of terms and processes which are
used in describing the migration of host and foreign species through
solid materials. Both the phenomenological theory of diffusion and the
detailed atomistic mechanisms by which atom transport occurs are treated.
Also included are the various types of gradients such as electrical,
chemical, thermal and mechanical, which provide the driving forces for
diffusion.
