The impurity diffusion of Au in polycrystals was investigated by using 195Au radiotracer and serial sectioning techniques over a temperature range of 600K. In the type-C regime, the grain boundaries diffusivities were measured directly and could be described by:

D(cm2/s) = 4.9 x 10-2exp[-91.0(kJ/mol)/RT]
