Diffusion in Condensed Matter

Diffusion as the process of particle transport due to stochasticmovement is a phenomenon of crucial relevance for a largevariety of processes and materials. This comprehensive, handbook-style survey of diffusion in condensed matter gives detailedinsight into diffusion as the process of particle transport due tostochastic movement. Leading experts in the field describe in23 chapters the different aspects of diffusion, covering microscopicand macroscopic experimental techniques and exemplaryresults for various classes of solids, liquids and interfaces as well asseveral theoretical concepts and models. Students and scientistsin physics, chemistry, materials science, and biology will benefitfrom this detailed compilation.
