Diffusion as the process of particle transport due to stochastic
movement is a phenomenon of crucial relevance for a large
variety of processes and materials. This comprehensive, handbook-
style survey of diffusion in condensed matter gives detailed
insight into diffusion as the process of particle transport due to
stochastic movement. Leading experts in the field describe in
23 chapters the different aspects of diffusion, covering microscopic
and macroscopic experimental techniques and exemplary
results for various classes of solids, liquids and interfaces as well as
several theoretical concepts and models. Students and scientists
in physics, chemistry, materials science, and biology will benefit
from this detailed compilation.

Complete, handbook type survey
Diffusion, the process of particle transport due to stochastic movement, is a crucial phenomena for a large variety of processes and materials. Leading experts in the field describe in 23 chapters the crucial aspects of diffusion, covering microscopic and macroscopic experimental methods and key results for various classes of solids, liquids and interfaces, as well as several theoretical concepts and models. Presenting fundamentals and highlights of current research, the contributions address both graduate students and specialists in the different fields. There are many titles dealing with diffusion, but all are concentrating on a specific material, class of materials or are covering a narrow selection of the field. The Heitjans/Kärger title is the only one, covering the complete topic, including cross-discipline approaches. From reviews of the first edition:
