Explores diffusion mechanisms in solids, including simple, vacancy, and interstitial mechanisms, cubic and non-cubic structures, and the calculation of diffusion coefficients.
Covers the fundamentals of electron diffraction and its applications in understanding crystal structures and symmetry, including lattice vectors, lattice planes, and dark-field imaging techniques.
Covers crystallography concepts, including veganicide cells, reciprocal lattices, and Brillouin zones, essential for understanding electron behavior in crystal structures.
Explores the historical significance of the 1983 CECAM workshop on the free-energy of solids and its impact on developing free-energy methods for hard-core models.
