Abstract
Cation grain-boundary diffusion in undoped and aliovalent-doped Al2O3 is characterized using Cr2O3 as a chemical tracer. The compositional depth profiles measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry are fitted to the Whipple-LeClaire model. The results indicate that cation grain-boundary diffusivity is insensitive to MgO and SiO2 dopants between 1100°C and 1300°C.
