The diffusion-induced recrystallization, DIR, in NiO reported by Parthasarathy and Shewmon, has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy and EDS analysis. High purity metallic nickel was oxidized to NiO in air at 1200Β°C for 24 h and subsequently annealed with metallic nickel in vac

β¦ Synopsis
It is shown that changing the composition of a sample of NiO from that in equilibrium with air at I2WC to that in equilibrium with oxygen saturated Ni at 800-9OO'C will e the surface to a much l&r gnin size. Annealing back at 1200Β°C in air will again rcuystallizc the surface layer. This type of diffusion induced rw@aUi&oon has o&n been observed in metals, but has llcvcT before been reported in ceramics. It's oawrewe in NiO is interpreted as a demonstration that Won induced grain boundary motion is driven directly by the free energy of mixing defects into the matrix instead of ind&tly as suggested by others.

In size-mismatched thin film interdiffusion couples diffusion-induced recrystallization (DIR) occurs rather than conventional Fickian atomic transport. Grains formed in this process have characteristic composition levels that are so far not understood. In this work, DIR is studied in sputter-deposit
