(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Diffusion is the mixing, in the absence of any chemical reaction or external force, that occurs when two fluids are placed in contact. The term is also used figuratively to describe the spontaneous mixing of abstract entities such as ideas and cultures: see diffusion (anthropology).In physics, diffusion is one process by which matter, heat or momentum moves from one place to another. Diffusion is one kind of transport phenomenon: compare it, for example, to radiation. All diffusion can be modelled quantitatively using the diffusion equation, the solutions of which go by different names depending on the physical situation. Steady state matter diffusion is governed by Fick's First Law. Steady-state thermal diffusion is governed by the Fourier Law. Diffusion of electrons in an electrical field is essentially Ohm's law. In each, a flux (of atoms or energy or electrons) is equal to a physical property (diffusivity or thermal conductivity or electrical conductivity) multiplied by a gradient (concentration gradient or thermal gradient or electric field). The generic diffusion equation is time dependent (i.e. also applies to non-steady-state situations).
In each case, there is only a noticeable diffusion if there is a gradient: for example in thermal diffusion, if the temperature is constant, heat will move as quickly in one direction as in the other, producing no change.
Kinds of Diffusion
Atomic Diffusion
This is the process whereby the random thermally activated hopping of atoms in a solid results in the net transport of atoms. For example, helium atoms inside a balloon can diffuse through the wall of the balloon and escape, resulting in the balloon slowly deflating. Other air molecules (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen) have lower mobilities and thus diffuse more slowly through the balloon wall. There is a concentration gradient in the balloon wall because the balloon was filled up with helium, and thus there is plenty of helium on the inside, but there is relatively little helium on the outside, because helium is not a major component of air. The rate of transport is governed by the diffusivity and the concentration gradient.See also Kirkendall effect
Thermal Diffusion
When heat travels through a material with a thermal gradient (for example, heat traveling through the wall of a coffee mug), the rate of transport is governed by the thermal conductivity and the temperature gradient.
Momentum Diffusion
In the case of laminar flow of a liquid flowing past a solid surface, momentum diffuses across the boundary layer near the surface. The gradient in this case is between the liquid in contact with the surface (which isn't moving at all and has zero momentum) and the liquid far away from the wall, which has momentum proportional to the speed at which it is flowing. The rate of transport is governed by the viscosity of the fluid and the momentum gradient.
Electron Diffusion
Electric current flows by diffusion in most conductorss. Charge carriers (usually electrons) move randomly in the absence of an electric field. When an electric field is applied, carriers drift preferentially in the field, causing a net current. The rate of transport is governed by the electrical conductivity of the conductor and the electric field.Brownian Motion
This occurs when discrete particles diffuse in a liquid medium. The thermal activation is provided by the thermal vibrations in the liquid. Because the particles are in a fluid, they are constantly moving in more or less random directions.
Reverse Diffusion
In general, diffusion results in transport down the gradient -- i.e. things move from regions of high concentration to low concentration. However, this is not always the case: during a phase separation, material can diffuse towards regions of higher concentration. This is referred to as reverse diffusion.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In its most general sense anthropologists define diffusion as the flow of an idea or artefact from one culture to another. In the late 19th century, many proposed diffusion as a theory to explain all major similarities between widely dispersed cultures. The most famous proponent of this theory was William Graham Sumner, who argued that civilization first formed in ancient Egypt and then diffused to other places. A more recent proponent of this theory was Thor Heyerdahl, who argued that elements of Polynesian culture have their origins in ancient Peru.The theory of diffusion has been criticized for being ethnocentric; it implies that people living in different places are not equally capable of innovation; that some people innovate and others copy. It has also been criticized for being speculative.
Today most anthropologists accept the fact that diffusion occurs, but reject the theory of diffusion as an explanation for cross-cultural similarities. The main criticism is that even when diffusion occurs, the theory does not explain why it occurs -- in other words, why some ideas or artefacts diffuse, and others do not. Moreover, it does not explain how in the course of diffusion traits may be assigned new uses and meanings.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Diffusion is the process by which a new idea or new product is accepted by the market. The rate of diffusion is the speed that the new idea spreads from one consumer to the next. Adoption is similar to diffusion except that it deals with the psychological processes an individual goes through, rather than an aggregate market process.The rate of diffusion is influenced by:
There are three theories that proport to explain the mechanics of diffusion:
- the product's perceived advantage or benefit
- riskiness of purchase
- ease of product use - complexity of the product
- immediacy of benefits
- observability
- trialability
- price
- extent of behavioural changes required
- return on investment in the case of industrial products
There are four types of diffusion rate models:
- 1) The two-step hypothesis - information and acceptance flows, via the media, first to opinion leaders, then to the general population
- 2) The trickle-down theory - products tend to be expensive at first, and therefore only accessible to the wealthy social strata - in time they become less expense and are diffussed to lower and lower strata
- 3) The E.M.Rogers Adoption theory - for any given product category, there are five categories of product adopters:
- innovators
- venturesome, educated, multiple info sources
- early adopters
- social leaders, popular, educated
- early majority
- deliberate, many informal social contacts
- late majority
- skeptical, traditional, lower socio-economic status
- laggards
- neighbours and friends are main info sources, fear of debt

- 1) Penetration models - use test market data to develop acceptance equations of expected sales volume as a function of time - 3 examples of penetration models are:
- Bass trial only model
- Bass declining trial model
- Fourt and Woodlock model
- 2) Trial/Repeat models - number of repeat buyers is a function of the number of trial buyers
- 3) Deterministic models - assess number of buyers at various states of acceptance - later states are determined from calculations to previous states
- 4) Stockastic models - recognize that many elements of the diffusion process are unknown but explicitly incorporate probabilistic terms
