Abstract

Before considering diffusion in Ni-based L12 and B2 structures, it is worth reviewing some classic basics of diffusion. In 1855, the first ‘law of diffusion’ was first presented in a scholarly manner by Adolf Fick, in whose steps diffusion researchers the world-over have been walking ever since.
