The following data (figure) describe the diffusion of a substitutional impurity atom in a polycrystalline solid.
Each data set below (A, B, and C) is associated with a characteristic diffusion environment for the impurity atom. The possible diffusion environments are: surface diffusion, volume diffusion, grain boundary diffusion.
Based on your understanding of solid-state diffusion mechanisms and processes, name the diffusion environment most likely associated with each data set:

sac to the other? Assume of 2.5*10^-6 m^2/s for
O2 in the barrier. Assume 3d diffusion.

- Imagine you are in line to enter a brand new shopping mall and you are very much excited because after months of waiting, you will now be able to enter shopping malls after the pandemic. The stores comprising the mall are very popular. These stores include Converse, Gucci, Jansport, Fendi and all other popular brands, and so the demand to enter is very high. Security guards only allow one person through the doors at a time. As a result, the line and the wait are quite long. To add to the chaos, the waiting crowd is made mostly of frequent shoppers who are growing very impatient and holding up the line with their constant complains. Together, these factors affect the flow of customers into the shopping mall, just as electric resistance affects the flow of charges through a current. 1.
