Special Session 2 FUNDAMENTAL DIFFUSION PROCESSES, REACTIONS AND PHASE STABILITY IN MATERIALS (SS2)

This special session will encompass all aspects of self-diffusion, diffusion in multi-component and high-entropy alloys, thermo-diffusion, reactions and phase decomposition occurring in solids. Both experimental and theoretical (computational) approaches as well as fundamental and applied aspects will be covered.

Topics of the special session include:

  • Measurement techniques,
  • Theoretical Description,
  • Modelling,
  • Tracer diffusion,
  • Diffusion in multi-component alloys,
  • Diffusion in high-entropy alloys,
  • Thermo-diffusion,
  • Kirkendall effect,
  • Diffusion of multilayers,
  • Diffusion-controlled precipitation processes,
  • Oxidation of alloys,
  • Formation and Ordering: Intermetallic phases,
  • Diffusion under external forces (electric, magnetic, stress, plastic deformation, etc)
  • Grain boundary diffusion, grain boundary segregation and grain boundary phase transitions
