Grain Boundary Diffusion in Metallic Nano and Polycrystals

  • Published:
Interface Science

Abstract

An outline is given of the recent theoretical and experimentalknowledge of grain boundary diffusion in metals. First what is knownabout the classification of the diffusion regimes encountered inpresence of stationary or moving grain boundaries and the non linearsegregation effects on the shape of the depth penetration profiles isbriefly described. Then a summarizing description of some importantrecent experimental results is presented.
