Computer simulation results on diffusion in metal and some nonmetal amorphous materials are summarized. Methods for producing and analyzing disordered systems as well as for modeling diffusion processes in such systems are considered. Certain features of diffusion in disordered systems are demonstrated. Possible mechanisms of diffusion in amorphous metals are analyzed.
