This monograph on “Diffusion in Metals and Alloys” provides a brief review of studies on the most important and general problems of metal diffusion conducted by V. Z. Bugakov and his collaborators. While it includes works by both Soviet and non-Soviet authors, the book is primarily based on Bugakov’s dissertation for his doctorate. It is divided into two parts: Part I, Atomic Diffusion of Metals, and Part II, Reactive Diffusion of Metals. The first and second chapters of Part II were written by V. Z. Bugakov and D. Ya. Gluskin. This book holds significant theoretical and practical value for physicists, metallurgists, and advanced students. Tragically, the life of V. Z. Bugakov, a young and gifted scientist, was cut short by the Nazi invasion and the siege of Leningrad.

The book should serve as a textbook of dynamic meteorology, suitable for students of hydro-meteorological institutes. For the reading of the book, a physico-mathematical training on the level of higher technical educational institutions is required, as well as a knowledge of thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and meteorology. Separate chapters are devoted to the exposition of the works of Soviet scientists in the field of dynamic meteorology, and therefore the book may also be used by post-graduate students and scientific personnel. For the reading of the chapters indicated, a more extensive mathematical training is required.

Approved by the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR as a University textbook
