Abstract
When a metal carries DC current of high intensity, electromigration phenomena are produced. In the case of aluminium, the Berg-Barrett X-ray topographic technique is employed as a means of detecting and measuring the displacement of polygonisation sub-boundaries. Interpretation of the results leads to the determination of the self-diffusion coefficient of aluminium at 290° C.
