Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot ...

The question of how diffusion happens on the atomic scale is more fundamental. For a few systems, this question has been answered by applying quasielastic neutron scattering 1,7 (QENS) and ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved a world first by moving individual atoms from one position to a precisely defined final ...

Atomic diffusion is a process by which atoms or molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, through stress state change under heat.

Researchers in the US and China have shown that diffusion at the atomic scale enables long nanowires of crystalline metals to be fabricated using a single-step moulding technique. The nanomoulding ...

According to Liu, while researchers have demonstrated that other materials, such as crystalline metals or semiconductors, can deform by atomic diffusion, they have not shown that amorphous materials ...

To overcome this problem, a group led by Yasuhiro Kimura at the Nagoya University Graduate School of Engineering used atomic diffusion in a solid phase state enhanced by ion beam irradiation to ...
