Atomic Transport in Solids

Zusammenfassung This book provides the fundamental statistical theory of atomic transport in crystalline solids! that is the means by which processes occurring at the atomic level are related to macroscopic transport coefficients and other observable quantities.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of atomic transport processes in solids; 5. Some applications of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to solids; 6. Microscopic theories - the master equation; 7. Kinetic theory of relaxation processes; 8. Kinetic theory of isothermal diffusion processes; 9. The theory of random walks; 10. Random walk theories of atomic diffusion; 11. Transport coefficients of dilute solid solutions - results and applications; 12. The evaluation of nuclear magnetic relaxation rates; 13. Theories of concentrated and highly defective systems; Epilogue; References.
