Shear-Coupled Grain Growth Statistics
Caihao Qiu, David J. Srolovitz, Gregory S. Rohrer +2
Grain growth (GG), driven by grain boundary (GB) migration, is a fundamental mechanism of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. GB migration is frequently accompa…

Why Grain Growth is Not Curvature Flow
Caihao Qiu, David J. Srolovitz, Gregory S. Rohrer +2
Grain growth in polycrystals is traditionally considered a capillarity-driven process, where grain boundaries (GBs) migrate toward their centers of curvature (i.e., mean curvature…
