APPLICATION OF DIFFUSION
ENG. KAREEM. H. MOKHTAR
DIFFUSION
 Diffusion refers to the net flux of any species
 The magnitude of this flux depends upon the concentration gradient and
temperature.
APPLICATION
 The carburization process can be used to increase surface hardness. In
carburization, a source of carbon, such as a graphite powder or gaseous phase
containing carbon, is diffused into steel components
ACTIVATION ENERGY
 A diffusing atom must squeeze past the surrounding atoms to reach its new site.
In order for this to happen, energy must be supplied to allow the atom to move
to its new position
ARRHENIUS EQUATION
 Rate = c e-E/RT
 Rate: rate of diffusion (m2/s
or jump per second)
 E: activation energy
 R: gas constant
 T: temperature
 ln(rate) = ln(c)  E/RT
 Straight line equation
Y= m x + c
Ln (rate)
1/T
Slope= -E/R
SHEET 4
 Q1) Suppose that atoms are found to move from one site to another at a rate of
109 jumps per second at 400 oC and the C0 is equal to 3.8 x 1016, calculate the
activation energy (Calory) needed.
 Answer
 Rate = c e-E/RT
 109 = 3.8 x 1016 x e-E/1.98*673
 E= 23257 cal/mol
SHEET 4
 Q2) Suppose that atoms are found to move from one site to another at a rate of
5x108 jumps/ second at 500 oC and 8x 1010 jumps/s at 800 oC, calculate the
activation energy needed for the process
 Answer
 Q= 27,800 cal/mol
SHEET 4
 Q3) At 300尊C the diffusion and activation energy for Cu in Si are D(300尊C) = 7.8 x
10-11 m2/s E = 41.5 kJ/mol
What is the diffusion at 350尊C?
 Answer
 Rate1 = c e-E/RT  7.8 x 10-11 = C e-41500/8.314* 573
 Rate2 = c e-E/RT  D= C e-41500/8.314* 623
 Get D = 15.7 x 10-11 m2/s
DIFFUSION
FICKS FIRST LAW
 The rate at which atoms, ions, particles or other species diffuse in a material can
be measured by the flux J. Here we are mainly concerned with diffusion of ions or
atoms. The flux J is defined as the number of atoms passing through a plane of
unit area per unit time
FICKS FIRST LAW
 J: flux
 D: diffusivity , cm2/s
 dc/dx : concentration gradient atoms / (cm3. cm) OR atomic % / cm

 Q4) Methylene chloride is a common ingredient of paint removers. Besides being
an irritant, it also may be absorbed through skin. When using this paint remover,
protective gloves should be worn.
If butyl rubber gloves (0.04 cm thick) are used, what is the diffusive flux of
methylene chloride through the glove?
 diffusion coefficient in butyl rubber: D = 110 x10-8 cm2/s
 surface concentrations:
 C1 = 0.44 g/cm3
 C2 = 0.02 g/cm3
ANSWER

 Q5) One step in manufacturing transistors, which function as electronic switches
in integrated circuits, involves diffusing impurity atoms into a semiconductor
material such as silicon (Si). Suppose a silicon wafer 0.1 cm thick, which originally
contains one phosphorus atom for every 10 million Si atom, is treated so that
there are 400 phosphorus atoms for every 10 million Si atoms at the surface.
