Grain boundary (GB) migration plays a crucial role in the thermal and mechanical responses of polycrystalline materials, particularly in ultrafine-grained and nano-grained materials exhibiting grain size-dependent properties. This study…
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 grain boundaries were studied mostly with atomistic and phase…
A novel continuum theory of incoherent interfaces with triple junctions is applied to study three-dimensional coupled grain boundary (GB) motion in polycrystalline materials. The kinetic relations for grain dynamics, relative sliding and…
Grain boundary (GB) migration stands as a linchpin process governing microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. Over the past decade, the concept of shear coupling, quantified through the shear coupling factor, has transformed…
Grain growth (GG), driven by grain boundary (GB) migration, is a fundamental mechanism of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. GB migration is frequently accompanied by a relative shear displacement of grains meeting at…
We use the phase-field-crystal (PFC) method to investigate the equilibrium premelting and nonequilibrium shearing behaviors of $[001]$ symmetric tilt grain boundaries (GBs) at high homologous temperature over the complete range of…
Grain rotation and grain boundary (GB) sliding are two important mechanisms for grain coarsening and plastic deformation in nanocrystalline materials. They are in general coupled with GB migration and the resulting dynamics, driven by…
Previous studies demonstrate that grain-boundary sliding could accelerate creep rate and give rise to large internal stresses that can lead to damage development, e.g. formation of wedge cracks. The present study provides more insight into…
Polycrystalline materials can be viewed as composites of crystalline particles or grains separated from one another by thin amorphous grain boundary (GB) regions. While GB have been exhaustively investigated at low temperatures, where these…
Shear coupling implies that all grain boundary (GB) migration necessarily creates mechanical stresses/strains and is a key component to the evolution of all polycrystalline microstructures. We present MD simulation data and theoretical…
Coupled grain boundary (GB) motion has been studied in a two-dimensional tricrystal where a cylindrical grain is embedded at the center of the planar GB of a large bicrystal. Kinetic relations for GB dynamics, grain orientations, and…
Grain boundary (GB) migration governs microstructure evolution and can mediate plastic deformation through sliding or shear coupling. Numerous experimental and numerical studies have reported a wide range of behaviors associated with…
The study of defect phases is important for designing nanostructured metals and alloys. Grain boundaries (GBs) form one class of defects that directly influence materials properties, such as deformability and strength. At the same time,…
In this work the coupled motion of two different phases of {\Sigma}5(210)[001] grain boundaries were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations of fcc Cu. The effect of interfacial structural phase transitions is shown to have a…
The formation and migration of disconnections (line defects constrained to the grain boundary (GB) plane with both dislocation and step character) control many of the kinetic and dynamical properties of GBs and the polycrystalline materials…
The complex arrangements of atoms near grain boundaries are difficult to understand theoretically. We propose a phenomenological (Ginzburg-Landau-like) description of crystalline phases based on symmetries and fairly general stability…
Synthetic driving force molecular dynamics simulations were utilized to survey grain boundary mobility in three classes of incoherent {\Sigma}3 twin boundaries: <112>, <110>, and <111> tilt boundaries. These boundaries are faceted on low…
The interplay between the diffusion-controlled dynamics of a solidification front and the trajectory of a grain boundary groove at the solid-liquid interface is studied by means of thin-sample directional solidification experiments of a…
Faceted grain boundaries, where grain boundary area is increased in the name of producing low-energy segments, can exhibit new and unexpected migration trends. For example, several faceted $\Sigma$3 boundaries have demonstrated anti-thermal…
A new phase field dislocation dynamics formulation is presented, which couples micromechanical solvers and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. Grain boundary (GB)-dislocation interactions are studied by describing GBs as…
