Atomic diffusion at nanometer length scale may differ significantly from bulk diffusion, and may sometimes even exhibit counterintuitive behavior. In the present work, taking Cu/Ni as a model system, a general phenomenon is reported which…

Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered interfaces can exist in stable non-spherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles, which confers the interface with…
