Disordered vs. Short-Range-Ordered Complexions: Consequences for Grain-Boundary-Mediated Plasticity in Nanocrystalline Al-Ni Alloys

Frederic Sansoz, Eve-Audrey Picard

Disordered grain-boundary (GB) complexions in thermally stable nanocrystalline alloys are commonly assumed to be structurally uniform, yet their amorphous nature makes them suscept…
