    • 2016, Dallas R. Trinkle, “Diffusivity and derivatives for interstitial solutes: Activation energy, volume, and elastodiffusion tensors”, in arXiv[1]:
      We derive a general expression for the fully anistropic diffusivity tensor from site and transition state energies, and three derivatives of the diffusivity: the elastodiffusion tensor (derivative of diffusivity with respect to strain), the activation barrier tensor (logarithmic derivative of diffusivity with respect to inverse temperature) and activation volume tensor (logarithmic derivative of diffusivity with respect to pressure).
