This Quicktime animation of a diffusion couple shows side-by-side views of two different atomic species - red and green - diffusing across a flat interface and the resulting line graph concentration profile for each.

The VIMS web resource offers a detailed description of an interactive and graphics-based sophomore level introductory materials science course available on CD-ROM. Links to sample animated graphics, videos, and worked problems are provided throughout the description. The course was developed as an initiative of the Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education (SUCCEED).
