Numerical evaluation of eigenvalues of the sheet diffusion problem in the surface/diffusion mixed regime
In relaxation experiments where both bulk diffusion and surface processes are rate controlling, the theoretical transient depends on the roots β n of the transcendental equation β n tan β n = L, in which L contains the surface rate constant, the diffusion constant and sample dimensions. A method is...
