Diffusion processes are ubiquitous in materials science and a daunting array of phenomena affecting all of us. This webinar will show that deep understanding of diffusion mechanisms and quantitative predictions of temperature-dependent diffusion coefficients are now possible at an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy due to the remarkable capabilities of advanced atomistic simulations.

Illustrative examples will include:

• diffusion processes in Li-ion batteries

• diffusion on surfaces

• diffusion of hydrogen in steel and zirconium alloys

• diffusion of defects in solids

• diffusion in organic liquids

• diffusion in molten metals

• oxygen diffusion related to corrosion
