Diffusion, the process of particle transport due to stochastic movement, is a crucial phenomena for a large variety of processes and materials. Leading experts in the field describe in 23 chapters the crucial aspects of diffusion, covering microscopic and macroscopic experimental methods and key results for various classes of solids, liquids and interfaces, as well as several theoretical concepts and models. Presenting fundamentals and highlights of current research, the contributions address both graduate students and specialists in the different fields. There are many titles dealing with diffusion, but all are concentrating on a specific material, class of materials or are covering a narrow selection of the field. The Heitjans/Krger title is the only one, covering the complete topic, including cross-discipline approaches.
