Self-diffusion In Solids

Self-Diffusion in Solids is a theoretical framework within solid-state physics that describes the spontaneous movement of atoms or ions within a crystalline lattice of identical species, driven by thermal energy and governed by vacancy or interstitial mechanisms, to characterize atomic mobility in the absence of concentration gradients.
