AB  - The impact of faceting on grain growth was approached by model experiments in NiO–MgO. Grain growth rates were found to be 10 times higher in NiO compared to MgO. As the self-diffusion acoefficients differ by a factor of 250, grain growth in NiO is unexpectedly slow compared to MgO. Recently, the movement of steps was identified as the atomic mechanism of grain boundary migration. According to the equilibrium crystal shape, grain boundaries in NiO are more faceted. The faceted grain boundaries of NiO have fewer steps at the grain boundaries resulting in a relatively lower mobility.
