NIST Diffusion Workshop Group

NEW! Schedule for 2009 Workshop

Goals

• To improve communication between experts in multicomponent diffusion measurement, analysis and simulation.

• To establish the most efficient method for extracting diffusion data (diffusion coefficients, fluxes, marker location) from multicomponent diffusion couple experiments.

• To provide a forum to solve common diffusion software execution problems.

• To agree on a common diffusion mobility database assessment procedure.

• To establish a general approach to data handling and diffusion modeling in ordered phases.

• To develop standard problems and web site for inter-laboratory comparison of diffusion simulation methods and data extraction techniques.
