Diffusion and You: Batteries, Catalysis, Alloys, Corrosion, and the Stock Market
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
