TY - JOUR AU - Morro, Angelo PY - 2021 DA - 2021/04/13 TI - Classical and Quantum Models of Diffusion JO - Recent Progress in Materials SP - 011 VL - 03 IS - 02 AB - The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, to review the classical diffusion models and show the approximations at the origin of the parabolic character of the classical equations. Secondly, to show a connection between quantum and classical models of diffusion. Since diffusion is inherently related to the motion of constituents then consistent models are framed within the dynamics of mixtures. The derivation of diffusion equations is then determined along with the related, pertinent approximations.
