Nanocrystalline (NC) metals suffer from an intrinsic thermal instability; their crystalline grains
undergo rapid coarsening during processing treatments or under service conditions. Grain …

Grain boundaries, the two-dimensional defects between differently oriented crystals, tend to
preferentially attract solutes for segregation. Solute segregation has a significant effect on …

We use atomistic simulations to investigate grain boundary (GB) phase transitions in
elemental body-centered cubic (bcc) metal tungsten. Motivated by recent modeling study of …

Grain boundaries often develop faceted morphologies in systems for which the interfacial
free energy depends on the boundary inclination. Although the mesoscale thermodynamic …

Grain boundaries (GBs) play a critical role in the formation of microstructure during materials
processing and its subsequent evolution under service conditions. While GB misorientation …

Grain boundary (GB) properties and associated anisotropies due to the boundary's
geometric degrees of freedom (DOF) greatly influence many of the salient features of …

Microstructure and phase evolution in magnetron sputtered nanocrystalline tungsten and
tungsten alloy thin films are explored through in situ TEM annealing experiments at …

Grain boundaries (GBs) are planar lattice defects that govern the properties of many types of
polycrystalline materials. Hence, their structures have been investigated in great detail …

In this work, molecular dynamics simulations have been used to undertake a computational
study of the equilibrium crystal-melt interface stresses in face-centered-cubic (FCC) Ni and …

To simulate the growth of geological veins, it is necessary to model the crystal shape
anisotropy. Two different models, classical and natural models, which incorporate the …
