Diffusion in Copper and Copper Alloys. Part I. Volume and Surface Self-Diffusion in Copper

Abstract

A survey, comparison, and critical analysis is presented of data compiled from the scientific literature concerning copper self‐diffusion. Topics include volume diffusion, dislocation pipe diffusion, surface diffusion, sintering, electromigration, thermomigration, pressure effect on diffusion, strain‐enhanced diffusion, nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of solid state diffusion and diffusion in molten copper. An extensive bibliography is presented along with figures, tabular presentation of data, and discussion of results.
