Point-defect avalanches mediate grain boundary diffusion
Grain boundary self-diffusion mechanisms are not well understood, especially at intermediate temperatures most relevant to engineering applications. Here, molecular dynamics simulations at intermediate temperatures reveal strongly intermittent grain boundary diffusion behavior and finite size effect...
