Special Session 9
COMPUTATIONAL/THEORETICAL MODELING OF DIFFUSION KINETICS IN MATERIALS (SS9)


Traditionally diffusion has been investigated mainly via experiment. In recent years, computational modeling has shown strong power in the prediction of diffusion in various materials, particularly with the development of density functional theory and the machine learning techniques. Other simulation methods such as CALPHAD and phasefield modeling are developing fast for modeling diffusion. Thus, this session focuses on the latest developments in diffusion modeling and simulation.

Diffusion simulation techniques (but not be limited to):

  • Density functional theory
  • Molecular dynamics
  • Theoretical/phenomelogical models
  • CALPHAD
  • Phase-field models
  • Machine learning techniques
