Domain Boundaries in a Metallic Distortive Polar Metal
Adrian Savovici, Barak Ratzker, Xuyang Zhou +12
Polar metals are an underexplored material class combining two properties that are typically incompatible, namely a polar crystal structure and reasonable electrical conductivity.…

Secondary Grain Boundary Dislocations Alter Segregation Energy Spectra
Xinren Chen, William Gonçalves, Yi Hu +9
Grain boundaries (GBs) trigger structure-specific chemical segregation of solute atoms. According to the three-dimensional (3D) topology of grains, GBs - although defined as planar…

Interstitial segregation has the potential to mitigate liquid metal embrittlement in iron
Ali Ahmadian, Daniel Scheiber, Xuyang Zhou +6
The embrittlement of metallic alloys by liquid metals leads to catastrophic material failure and severely impacts their structural integrity. The weakening of grain boundaries by t…
