Grain Boundary Diffusion

Grain Boundary Diffusion is the phenomenon of atomic or ionic mass transport along the interface between adjacent crystalline grains in a polycrystalline solid, distinguished from bulk diffusion by its enhanced kinetics due to the disordered atomic structure and excess energy at grain boundaries.
