OBS

En science des matériaux, la migration est le déplacement d'espèces chimiques. La migration est une notion macroscopique, qui concerne les concentrations en espèces chimiques; si la migration fait intervenir des déplacements d'atomes ou de molécules, il peut aussi y avoir des déplacements sans migration, par exemple lorsque le flux dans un sens est égal au flux dans l'autre sens.
