PolycrystalDiffusivityTensorBase

The PolycrystalDiffusivityTensorBase material builds a diffusivity tensor that distinguishes between the bulk, grain boundaries, and free surfaces, thus allowing different diffusion rates in those regions. The bulk diffusion is calculated using the standard Arrhenius Equation . The grain boundary and bulk diffusions are approximated as multiples of the bulk diffusion , . Once the diffusivity tensor is calculated, it can be used to calculate a mobility tensor in your model.

Generates a diffusion tensor to distinguish between the bulk, grain boundaries, and surfaces
