Grain Boundary Diffusion in Polycrystalline Ferrites with Different Intergranular Potential Barrier

摘要

Using the method of layer-by-layer measurements of the electrical conductivity activation energy, an investigation is performed of grain-boundary diffusion of oxygen in polycrystalline Li–Ti-ferrites in the range of temperatures 873–1073 K. A correlation relation is established between the value of the intergranular potential barrier and the parameters of grain-boundary diffusion of oxygen in polycrystalline ferrites. An increase in this value gives rise to a growth in the diffusion activation energy. The grain-boundary diffusion coefficient increases with the value of the intergranular potential barrier.
