1. While many authors prefer to use the term grain to refer to a collection of crystallites, such as found in a powder particle, we shall use grain synonymously with crystallite to refer to the individual crystalline components in a polycrystalline sample that are bounded by grain boundaries. Grains (crystallites) are not necessarily single crystalline, as they may contain all defects of lower dimensionality (vacancies dislocations, stacking faults, twins, etc.) other than grain boundaries.

45. Since electrical conduction in Pd involves both s and d-bands, two mean-free-path values should be used to describe the resistivity of Pd [53]. The mean free path in the d-band is 5 to 10 times smaller than that in the s-band [53], however, so we do not expect scattering of the carriers in the d-band to be as sensitive to the presence of grain boundaries as are the carriers in the s-band. Our assumed mean free path of 30 nm is appropriate for the s-band electrons in Pd at 100 K.
