Atomic Diffusion and Interdiffusion in Metals
Delve into the fascinating world of atomic diffusion with Professor Harry Bhadeshia in this comprehensive lecture series on metals and alloys. Explore concepts like steady-state and non-steady-state diffusion, Fick's laws, thermodynamics of diffusion, and more. Gain insights into structure-sensitive diffusion, uphill diffusion, and binary solutions. Visual aids and real-world examples enhance your understanding of this essential topic in materials science and metallurgy.
