Atomic Diffusion in Metals: Understanding Fick’s Laws and Thermodynamics

Delve into the principles of atomic diffusion in metals and alloys with Professor Harry Bhadeshia. Explore Fick’s laws, steady and non-steady state diffusion, thermodynamics, and structure-sensitive diffusion. Gain insights into uphill diffusion and interdiffusion in Al-7Si alloy. Discover the relationship between flux, solute concentration, and Gibbs free energy.
