Abstract
Diffusion experiments are usually performed at macroscopic length scales, use of multilayers can lower these scale down to the nanometer range. This paper describes the main idea governing atomic transport at such short distance and in such inhomogeneous systems. The basic experimental methods involved are also discussed. Some representative recent works are shortly describedKeywords
