  ABSTRACT: The correlation between the Schrödinger equation and the diffusion equation revealed that the relation of material wave is not a hypothesis but an actual one valid in a material regardless of the photon energy. Using the relations of material wave and uncertain principle, the quantum effect on elementary process of diffusion is discussed. As a result, the diffusivity is obtained as a universal expression applicable to any problem of diffusion phenomena. The Gauss theorem in theory and the Kirkendall effect in experimentation reveal the necessity of the coordinate transformation for a diffusion equation. The mathematical method for solving an interdiffusion problem of many elements system is established. The phase shift of the obtained analytical solution indicates the correlation between the solutions of each diffusion equation expressed by a fixed coordinate system and by a moving coordinate system. Based on the coordinate transformation theory, some unsolved problems of diffusion theory are reasonably solved and also some new important findings are discussed in relation to matters in the existing diffusion theory.
