《相平衡與擴(kuò)散雜志》（JPED）關(guān)注相的結(jié)晶、化學(xué)、擴(kuò)散和其他動力學(xué)性質(zhì)。它的特點是，國際專家對科學(xué)和工業(yè)上重要的合金系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行了關(guān)鍵相圖評估，并對基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用研究結(jié)果進(jìn)行了批判性審查，并對現(xiàn)有文獻(xiàn)進(jìn)行了綜述。JPED涵蓋了相圖的重要性以及相圖準(zhǔn)備和使用的新研究技術(shù)、設(shè)備、數(shù)據(jù)評估、命名、表示和其他方面。它還提供了有關(guān)平衡的動力學(xué)控制、相干效應(yīng)、雜質(zhì)效應(yīng)以及熱力學(xué)和晶體學(xué)特性等現(xiàn)象的信息。

The Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion (JPED) focuses on the crystallographic, chemical, diffusion, and other kinetic properties of phases. It features critical phase diagram evaluations on scientifically and industrially important alloy systems, authored by international experts, as well as critically reviewed basic and applied research results, and a survey of current literature. JPED covers the significance of diagrams as well as new research techniques, equipment, data evaluation, nomenclature, presentation, and other aspects of phase diagram preparation and use. It also offers information on such phenomena as kinetic control of equilibrium, coherency effects, impurity effects, and thermodynamic and crystallographic characteristics.
