A technique is presented to calculate grain-boundary widths and grain-boundary diffusion coefficients in metals and nonmetals using grain growth, sintering, diffusion and/or creep data. High-purity metals yield boundary widths of the order of a few atomic diameters, whereas ionic materials yield ``effective boundary widths'' orders-of-magnitude wider.
