Abstract
Theoretical investigations of the influence of grain size on mobility, lifetime and diffusion length in a polycrystalline material are made. it is found that the variation of diffusion length with grain size can be accounted for if the dependence of mobility and lifetime on grain size are considered. The calculations reasonably represent the experimentally observed variations of diffusion lengths with grain size.Keywords
