Title: A good one for both students and researchers
Review: The first chapter deals with the basic equations of diffusion; the second chapter widely describes the atomic theory of diffusion before, in the subsequent chapters, focusing on diffusion in dilute alloys, in a concentration gradient, in non-metals. The 6th chapter is really interesting as it focuses on the effect of dislocations, grain boundaries and free surfaces on diffusion and even including, in the last chapter, diffusion mechanisms under electric current or heat flux.All the chapters are independent of one another.In almost all chapters the author describes both theory and experimental measurements (including some results) and then discusses the results with some left open questions.A set of problems is included at the end of each chapter with the answers for many of them.
