Kinetics, Transport, and Structure in Hard and Soft Materials is
the only single reference that discusses the connection between
structure and mechanisms of atomic or molecular transport in
different classes of materials, from metals and semiconductors to
network glasses, polymers and supercooled liquids. Divided into
four parts, Part I begins with a discussion the fundamentals of
transport, wherein transport properties of a system of
non-interacting particles are calculated and the phenomenon of
Brownian motion introduced. The phenomenology of diffusion is also
discussed wherein Fick's laws are introduced and solved for a range
of practical cases involving mass transport. Elementary Statistical
mechanics, involving Partition functions, probability distribution
functions and correlation functions, is discussed to lay the
foundation for the subsequent discussion of mechanisms of transport
in different materials. Parts II and III focus on mechanisms of
transport in crystalline materials and in structurally disordered
materials. Chapters explain how the mechanism of diffusional
transport of an atom or molecule is intimately connected to the
spatial organization of neighboring structural elements and to its
interactions with them. The book reviews factors that control
temperature dependent long-range dynamics of glass-forming systems.
Diffusion and viscoelasticity of polymer melts, transport (viscous
flow and ionic diffusion) in inorganic network glasses, and dynamic
heterogeneity in super cooled liquids are described. Part IV
analyzes the development of instabilities, such as spinodal
decomposition and Mullins-Sekerka instabilities, which lead to the
morphological evolution of materials. Kinetics, Transport, and
Structure in Hard and Soft Materials emphasizes interdisciplinary
nature of transport in materials, presenting its material in a
user-friendly format for students from any discipline with a
foundation in elementary
