Abstract
In the 1940s, it was a common belief that atomic diffusion took place via a direct exchange or ring mechanism that indicated the equality of diffusion of binary elements in metals and alloys. However, Ernest Kirkendall first observed inequality in the diffusion of copper and zinc in interdiffusion between brass and copper. This article reports how Kirkendall discovered the effect, now known as the Kirkendall Effect, in his short research career.
