The program computes the numerical difference solution by determining the eigenvalues of the [r] matrix, and the amplitudes of the n-1 independent error function complements. The Euler angles specifying the “directions” in composition space between the left- and right-hand end members determine the qualitative behavior of the solution. These include: Max gradient Max flux Zero gradient Zero flux Diffusion path ? meg/aol ‘02 Initial composition difference vector ?C0 between a pair of ternary alloys This equation relates the compositions of alloys along the direction of the composition vector The program Profiler evaluates the square–root diffusivity matrix from input data and calculates numerical solutions to the linear multicomponent diffusion equation. The program Profiler yields a difference solution to Fick’s second law in the form The data tabulated and displayed by
