Diffusion Database (Kakusan)

The Diffusion Database aims to cover all the basic diffusion data of metallic and inorganic materials mainly from the literature sources. The database consists of "diffusion data" and "reference data". Currently the system primarily contains information of pure metals, alloys, semiconductors, ceramics and intermetallics.
