Quantum theory of light interstitial diffusion and other aspects of inert gas motion in solids

  • 1. UKAEA Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell. Theoretical Physics Div.

Description

Most diffusion phenomena in solids can be understood (or sometimes misunderstood) on a purely classical model. For light interstitials (hydrogen isotopes, the positive muon, and potentially He) there may be anomalous temperature dependences, and isotope effects, and anomalous response to electric fields and temperature gradients. Some of these anomalies are quantal in origin, and will be discussed. (author)
