Abstract
The available data on surface diffusion and matter transport driven by surface energy in ceramics are reviewed. The competing effects of matter transport by evaporation-condensation and by volume diffusion are treated. The materials considered are mainly oxides (MgO, NiO, Al2O3, Fe3O4, UO2 etc.), but other ceramics (UC, UN) are also dealt with. The knowledge on surface energies of such ceramics is reviewed as well. A number of different techniques has been developed to measure both properties, and the effects of deviation from stoichiometry on surface diffusion or surface energy have been measured for UO2±x and Fe3−xO4. The data are applied to discuss the technologically important aspect of the formation and the behavior of gas-filled bubbles in UO2 nuclear fuel.
