Diffusion in the vicinity of the defects is affected by______

Diffusion in the vicinity of the defects is affected by______ Correct Answer Concentration gradient and gradient of interaction energy

Actually the atoms can reduce their free energies if they shift or migrate to the some defects but at the equilibrium, it is found that their concentration compared to the matrix is higher at the vicinity of the defects and one of the reason is that both the concentration gradient and the gradient of the interaction energy plays an important role during the time when the diffusion takes place in the vicinity of these defects.
