Asteroseismology of beta Cephei stars: effects of microscopic diffusion

In this thesis, we have investigated the effects of the radiatively-driven microscopic diffusion of iron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in a typical $eta$~Cephei star. We thought that it was possible that microscopic diffusion could explain recent puzzling observations in some $eta$~Cephei stars, such...
