Diffusion coefficient of Fe in polycrystalline host ZnSe as a mid-IR gain medium has been measured in the annealing temperature ranges of 850 to $950^{\circ}C$. The synthesis of the samples was carried out in quartz ampoule in which the Fe thin film deposited by physical vapor evaporation method on the ZnSe. One can realize that the diffusion coefficient strongly depends on the surface active surfactants through the cleaning process and the substrate temperature during the thin film deposition leading to $2.04{\times}10^{-9}cm^2/s$ for $Fe^{2+}:ZnSe$. The Annealing temperature dependence of the Fe ions diffusion in ZnSe was used to evaluate the activation energy, $E_a$=1.39 eV for diffusion and the pre-exponential factor $D_0$ of $13.5cm^2/s$.

In predicating the probability distribution of chloride diffusion coefficient of recycled aggregate concrete ($D_{RAC}$), the morphological characteristics of three phases, i.e., the old attached mortar, the natural aggregate and the new mortar, should all be taken into account. The present paper attempts to develop a probability density evolution method (PDEM) to achieve this. After verifying the derived PDEM results with experimental results, the effects of old attached mortar to the $D_{RAC}$ are examined in a quantitative manner. It is found that (1) the variation of the attached mortar content is much sensitive to $D_{RAC}$; (2) given the probability distribution of the content and chloride diffusion coefficient of old mortar, the probability distribution of DRAC can be analysed based on the PDEM; and (3) the critical chloride diffusion coefficient at a certain assurance rate can be obtained by the PDEM. The analysis results of this investigation will be valuable to the durability design for RAC.

The electron transport coefficients(the electron drift velocity, W, and the longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficient, D$_{L}$ and D$_{T}$) in SiH$_4$-Ar mixtures containing 0.5% and 5.0% monosilane were calculated over the E/N range from 0.01 to 300 Td and over the gas pressure range 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 Torr by the time-of-flight(TOF) method of the Boltzmann equation(BE.) and Monte-Carlo simulation(MCS). The electron energy distribution function in each SiH$_4$-Ar mixtures at E/N=10 Td and L=0.2 cm, which in equilibrium region in the mean electron enregy were compared.red.

In this paper, the electron transport characteristic in CF$_4$has been analysed over the E/N range 1~300(Td) by a two-term approximation Boltzmann equation method and by a Monte Carlo simulation. The alteration of cross sections from the literature is avoided as much as possible in the analysis. The motion has been calculated to give swarm parameters for the electron drift velocity(W), diffusion coefficient(D$_{L}$), the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the mobility(D$_{L}$/$\mu$), mean energy($\varepsilon$), the electron energy distribution function. The electron energy distribution function has been analysed in CF$_4$at E/N=50, 100 and 200(Td) for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean electron energy. The results of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo simulation have been compared with experimental data by Y. Nakamura and M. Hayashi.shi.

The vacuum drying process for drying of paper in current transformers was modeled with an aim to develop an understanding of the drying mechanism involved and also to predict the water collection rates. A molecular as well as macroscopic approach was adopted for the prediction of drying rate. Ficks law of diffusion was adopted for the prediction of drying rates at macroscopic levels. A steady state and dynamic mass transfer simulation was performed. The bulk diffusion coefficient was calculated using weight loss experiments. The accuracy of the solution was a strong function of the relation developed to determine the equilibrium moisture content. The actually observed diffusion constant was also important to predict the plant water removal rate. Thermo gravimetric studies helped in calculating the diffusion constant. In addition, simulation studies revealed the formation of perpetual moisture traps (loops) inside the CT. These loops can only be broken by changing the temperature or pressure of the system. The change in temperature or pressure changes the kinetic or potential energy of the effusing vapor resulting in breaking of the loop. The cycle was developed based on this mechanism. Additionally, simulation studies also revealed that the actual mechanism of moisture diffusion in CT's is by surface jumps initiated by surface diffusion balanced against the surrounding pressure. Every subsequent step in the cycle was to break such loops. The effect of change in drying time on the electrical properties of the insulation was also assessed. The measurement of capacitance at the rated voltage and one third of the rated voltage demonstrated that the capacitance change is within the acceptance limit. Hence, the new cycle does not affect the electrical performance of the CT.

In this study, molecular dynamics simulations of SPC/E (extended simple point charge) model have been carried out in the canonical NVT ensemble over the range of temperatures 300 to 550 K with and without Ewald summation. The quaternion method was used for the rotational motion of the rigid water molecule. Radial distribution functions $g_{OO}(r)$, $g_{OH}(r)$, and $g_{HH}(r)$ and self-diffusion coefficients D for SPC/E water were determined at 300-550 K and compared to experimental data. The temperature dependence on the structural and diffusion properties of SPC/E water was discussed.

We measured the electron transport coefficients(the electron drift velocity, W, and the longitudinal diffusion coefficient, $D_L$) in pure $CF_4$ over the E/N range from 0.04 Td to 250 Td by the double shutter drift tube. And these electron transport coefficients in pure $CF_4$ were calculated over the E/N range from 0.01 to 250 Td at 1 Torr by using the two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation.

The properites of Zn-diffusion in III-V ternary alloy semiconductor $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$, which was grown by the temperature gradient solution (TGS) method, have been investigated. The composition, x, dependence of the Zn-diffusion coefficient at $850^{\circ}C$ and the activation energy for Zn-diffusion into $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$ were found to be $D850^{\circ}C$(x)= $3.935{\times}10^{-8}exp(-6.84{\cdot}x)$, and $E_{A}(x)=1,28+2,38{\cdot}x$, respectively. From this study, we confirm that the Zn-diffusion in $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$ was explainable with the diffusion mechanisms of the interstitial-substitutional, which was widely accepted mechanisms in the III-V binary semiconductors.

We study the kinetics of absorption of water in Portland cement concretes added with 60, 70 and 80% of granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) cured in water and at open air and preheated at 50 and $100^{\circ}C$. A mathematical model is presented that allows describing the process not only in early ages where the capillary sorption is predominant but also for later and long times where the diffusive processes through the finer and gel pores are considered. The fitting of the model by computerized methods enables us to determine the parameters that characterize the process: i.e., the sorptivity coefficient (S) and diffusion coefficient (D). This allows the description of the process for all times and offers the possibility to know the contributions of both, the diffusive and capillary processes. The results show the influence of the curing regime and the preheating temperature on the behavior of GGBS mortars.

With varying conditions of concrete surface, induced chloride contents are changed and this is a key parameter for steel corrosion and service life in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures. Many surface enhancement techniques using impregnation have been developed, however the evaluation techniques for chloride behavior through doubly layered media and time-dependent diffusion are rarely proposed. This paper presents an analysis technique considering double-layer concrete and time-dependent diffusion behavior, and the results are compared with those from the previous test results through reverse analysis. The chloride profiles from the surface-impregnated concrete exposed to atmospheric, tidal, submerged zone for 2 years are adopted. Furthermore surface chloride contents and diffusion coefficients are obtained, and are compared with those from Life365. Through consideration of time effect, the relative error decreases from 0.28 to 0.20 in atmospheric, 0.29 to 0.11 in tidal, and 0.54 to 0.40 in submerged zone, respectively, which shows more reasonable results. Utilizing the diffusion coefficients from Life365, relative errors increases and it needs deeper penetration depth (e) and lower diffusion coefficient ratio ($D_1/D_2$) due to higher diffusion coefficient.
