Author Description

<p>Diffusion as the process of particle transport due to stochastic<br>movement is a phenomenon of crucial relevance for a large<br>variety of processes and materials. This comprehensive, handbook-<br>style survey of diffusion in condensed matter gives detailed<br>insight into diffusion as the process of particle transport due to<br>stochastic movement. Leading experts in the field describe in<br>23 chapters the different aspects of diffusion, covering microscopic<br>and macroscopic experimental techniques and exemplary<br>results for various classes of solids, liquids and interfaces as well as<br>several theoretical concepts and models. Students and scientists<br>in physics, chemistry, materials science, and biology will benefit<br>from this detailed compilation.</p>
