Singularities in multiphase diffusion couples

Singularities are not normally expected in diffusion couple data; however, they can occur in certain multiphase concentration profiles and diffusion paths. The following work reviews the theoretical reason why singularities form and gives two different computer simulations that support the theoretical predictions. In addition, a correction is given to a previous paper in which artifacts created by modeling software were inadvertently reported as diffusional singularities.
