Diffusion in Advanced Materials

In the first chapter Prof. Kozubski and colleagues present atomistic simulations of superstructure transformations of intermetallic nanolayers. In Chapter 2, Prof. Danielewski and colleagues discuss a formalism for themorphology of the diffusion zone in ternary alloys. In Chapter 3, ProfessorsSprengel and Koiwa discuss the classical contributions of Boltzmann andMatano for the analysis of concentration-dependent diffusion. This isfollowed by Chapter 4 by Professor Cserháti and colleagues on the use of Kirkendall porosity for fabricating hollow hemispheres. In Chapter 5,Professor Morton-Blake reports on molecular dynamics calculations of ions ina synthetic channel. In Chapter 6, Professor Bokstein and Dr Rodin reviewgrain boundary diffusion and segregation in metals and alloys. This isfollowed by a review by Professor Mehrer on diffusion in glassy metals(Chapter 7). In Chapter 8 Professor Prochazka and colleagues report ondefects and sintering in yttria-stabilized zirconia using positronannihilation spectroscopy and in Chapter 9 Professor Fishman and colleaguesreport on mechanical activation of Mn-O oxides. Finally in Chapter 10 Professors Popova and Popov analyse the role of diffusion in the structureand texture of Cu-Nb composites.
