The development of commercial electron microprobes in the late 1960's made it possible to measure compositional zoning in minerals on a micron scale, which provided both the motivation for and a means of determining diffusion coefficients. This led to a significant... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
