Abstract
The effect of grain boundary migration on the tracer concentration depth profiles that develop during a diffusion experiment is evaluated. An expression for the average tracer concentration within a plane at depth x and time t for a boundary migrating with velocity V is derived. This average concentration is compared to that expected for a stationary boundary. Results indicate that considerable errors in both the magnitude and temperature dependence of the apparent diffusion coefficient may arise if grain boundary migration is neglected.
