Diffusion in Metals, Intermetallics, Silicides, Quasicrystals and Metallic Glasses
Review on Diffusion in Materials
A review for non-experts in the field of diffusion was prepared. It explains the major topics of diffusion studied
at the Institut für Materialphysik of our University. The main experimental methods, atomic mechanisms of
diffusion, diffusion in metallic materials, diffusion and defects in semiconductors, ionic conduction and
diffusion in ion-conducting materials, and diffusion in nano-materials are explained on a level which does not
require much background knowledge in physics.
