Objectives

Following the first two editions in 2015 and 2020,  IM2NP is organizing a school on diffusion in solids. This school will provide an opportunity to review the basics of diffusion and also to present recent advances in this field. The school will cover various aspects of diffusion: mechanisms, phenomenological laws, diffusion paths, etc. The specific characteristics of diffusion in different types of materials (metals, semiconductors, oxides, intermetallics) will be detailed. Current experimental methods and recent developments in simulations (kinetic Monte Carlo, ab initio, , etc.) and modeling (concentrated alloys) will also be discussed. Finally, examples of diffusion based applications will be presented.This school will promote exchanges between academics and industrialists, researchers, engineers, and students in the field of diffusion in solids.
The lectures will be in English to have an international school
