Modeling of the Atomic Diffusion Coefficient in Nanostructured Materials

A formula has been established, which is based on the size-dependence of a metal’s melting point, to elucidate the atomic diffusion coefficient of nanostructured materials by considering the role of grain-boundary energy. When grain size is decreased, a decrease in the atomic diffusion act...
