The model naturally incorporates the effects of drag on grain boundary motion as imposed by the interfacially accumulated charged defects for Fe doped SrTiO<sub>3<\/sub>. Two moving grain boundary types, i.e., highly mobile and immobile interfaces result in abnormal grain growth. Fast moving grain boundaries leave a residual charge network behind in the interior of the grains in the form of bands of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"math\"><span id=\"MathJax-Element-1-Frame\" class=\"MathJax_SVG\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 16.200000762939453px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; position: relative;\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"presentation\" data-mathml=\"&lt;math xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML&quot;&gt;&lt;mrow is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;mo is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;[&lt;\/mo&gt;&lt;msubsup is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;mtext is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Fe&lt;\/mtext&gt;&lt;mtext is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Ti&lt;\/mtext&gt;&lt;mo is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;#x2032;&lt;\/mo&gt;&lt;\/msubsup&gt;&lt;mo is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;]&lt;\/mo&gt;&lt;mo is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;,&lt;\/mo&gt;&lt;\/mrow&gt;&lt;\/math&gt;\"><\/span>\u00a0[Fe&#8217;<sub>Ti<\/sub>] which in turn electrostatically attract oxygen vacancies, thus enhancing the local ionic conductivity of the polycrystal.
