Abstract

We measured oxygen diffusion coefficients (D_gb) along five grain boundaries (GBs) in alumina bicrystals by tracing ¹⁸O by secondary ion mass spectrometry. Although all boundaries are classified as coincident site lattice boundaries with relatively ordered structures, D_gb varied up to 10³ times among them. On the other hand, the boundaries with identical boundary planes had relatively similar diffusivities as well as similar structures, regardless of Σ values. These results suggest that D_gb are related to GB atomic structures and hence the GB character, especially GB planes.
