Popis: This chapter is concerned with the phenomenon of interdiffusion (or chemical diffusion) under a concentration (or chemical) gradient in a binary system. When the self-diffusivities of the two components are different, there arises a global drift of the matrix in the interdiffusion or mixing zone, which consequentially results in a single interdiffusion or chemical diffusion coefficient (Kirkendall effect). We will analyze this effect phenomenologically and atomistically to understand the interrelationship between the component self-diffusivities and the common chemical diffusivity and the thermodynamic and atomistic inner-workings behind. This is the climax of the diffusion story of a non-charged particles system.
