Recrystallization and grain growth are mechanisms that alter the microstructure without necessarily altering the phase. They are typically driven by high internal elastic and surface energies though sometimes other volumetric energy terms appear. The topic is important to materials engineers and scientists and geologists alike. The former typically aim to exert control over the phenomena for technological and economic benefit while the latter often seek in these mechanisms the answers to questions regarding events long gone. This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.
The present topical volume captures a representative cross-section of some of the recent advances in the area of mass transport. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the area, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large. Topics include diffusion in oxides, metals and alloys, membranes, microstructural changes and evolution, self, solute and interdiffusion, and diffusion in grain boundaries.
