From theCambridge English Corpus
Two types of normal curve velocities are involved in this model: motion by mean curvature and motion bysurfacediffusion.

They assumed, the grain boundary migrates at a constant speed which is measured in an experiment and then iterates linearisedsurfacediffusionand grain boundary motions alternately.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This approach does not depend on the type of the motion and therefore the same approach for both the curvature motion andsurfacediffusioncan be used.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As such, the principles ofsurfacediffusionare critical for the chemical production and semiconductor industries.
