Diffusion of atoms, molecules, and ions control many processes in glasses, including ionic diffusion, ion exchange, electrical conduction, chemical durability, gas permeation, and permeation-controlled reactions. Since the mechanisms underlying all of these processes are based on similar principles, a fundamental understanding of diffusion phenomena serves as the basis for understanding all diffusion-controlled properties of glasses.
