Abstract

Results concerning diffusion in αAl2O3 are reviewed, compared and discussed in terms of lattice defects, purity, doping, grain-boundary structure and chemistry. Some of the difficulties encountered in determining diffusion parameters are pointed out. Attention is paid to short-circuit diffusion, as penetration in the volume of αAl2O3 is negligible in most cases. Recent data for the silver -αAl2O3 system providing all parameters relative to bulk and dislocation and grain boundary diffusion, are analysed’ to gain a better understanding of the diffusion mechanisms involved in this system and, from analogy, in cationic diffusion in α-Al2O3.
