Title: Grain-boundary diffusion: structural effects, models and mechanisms

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5764441

Grain boundary diffusion phenomena were considered including: anisotropy, effect of orientation, crystallographic transformation, boundary type, dislocation dissociation, pressure, and isotope effects. Diffusivity is different for various boundaries. Dissociated dislocations and stacking faults are not efficient paths for grain boundary diffusion. Results suggest a vacancy mechanism along the dislocation core, and involves atomic jumps away from the back towards the dislocation as well as jumps along the core. Measurements were made on nickel and silver. (FS)
