NIST Diffusion Workshop Series

NIST Diffusion Workshop Group

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.

Workshops Series Resumes:

The next Diffusion Workshop will be April 14-15, 2026 on the NIST Gaithersburg campus. For more information and registration information is at the following link.

The focus of the workshop will be continuing topics from previous workshops as well as a focus on data and model needs for efficient critical material usage and recovery.
