Abstract
In this chapter I will give the fundamental concepts to describe diffusion on the atomic level, with special consideration to the case of diffusion on a lattice. For reasons of conceptual simplicity this chapter will stay abstract.

Notes

Diffusion on a surface would be a physically relevant case of diffusion on a lower-dimensional lattice.
