We introduce the Voronoi fundamental zone (VFZ) framework which is useful for grain
boundary (GB) structure–property models and gaining insights about the nature of a five …

The interfacial structure of coincidence site lattice grain boundaries in multi-crystalline
silicon plays a decisive role in their electrical behavior as revealed by high-resolution …

High-throughput simulations can be a powerful tool in the discovery of new materials and
behaviors. As part of a special issue on Rising Stars in Computational Materials Science …

The study of grain boundaries is the foundation to understanding many of the intrinsic
physical properties of bulk metals. Here, the preparation of microscale thin‐film gold …

Directionally solidified components, such as single crystal turbine blades, are typically
grown using shell molds prepared using a lost wax process that begins with injection …

We demonstrate cylindrical island grain bicrystals grown via a hybrid additive
manufacturing/directional solidification technique. The island grain bicrystal is formed using …

Grain boundaries always have a positive excess free energy that drives grain growth and
structural evolution during high-temperature heat treatments. Grain boundaries can …

The influence of grain boundaries (GBs) on the mechanical behavior and deformation of
crystalline materials is well documented. Specifically, intergranular failure within the …

Grain boundaries are two-dimensional defects in polycrystalline materials and are one of the
main determinants of their macroscopic properties. Due to their complexity, from the atomic …

The issue of constructing interface networks translating under curvature-driven migration is
addressed. The translating networks are the main accessory for testing capillarity driven …
