He will share the LIF with one other U.S. investigator and four Japanese investigators.
Diffusion is the intermingling of two or more types of atoms or molecules.
An example of the diffusion of chemical species is a cube of sugar in the bottom of a cup of coffee. If one is patient enough, the sugar will eventually distribute itself evenly throughout the coffee, without stirring. Most manufacturing technologies rely on diffusion processes at some stage. The carbonization of steel and the fabrication of transistors indicate the economic and technological importance of diffusion processes in the competitive marketplace. The problem is that there is not an adequate model of the liquid state.
