Monte Carlo Calculation as an Aid to Teaching Solid-State Diffusion.

Murch, G. E.

American Journal of Physics, v47 n1 p78-80 Jan 1979

A simple Monte Carlo method is used to simulate an atomistic model of solid-state diffusion. This approach illustrates some of the principles of diffusion and in particular verifies a solution to Fick's second law. The role and calculation of the diffusion correlation factor is also discussed. (Author/BB)
