Role of defects in the thermodynamic stability of grain boundary phases at asymmetric tilt boundaries in copper
Swetha Pemma, Lena Langenohl, Saba Saood +5
Grain boundaries can exist as different grain boundary phases (also called complexions) with individual atomic structures. The thermodynamics of these defect phases in high-angle g…

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…
