In the last decades severe plastic deformation techniques have gained increasing interest as they allow the production of bulk nanostructured materials with superior mechanical and functional properties. However, because of mechanically…

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,…

Grain boundary segregations were investigated by Atom Probe Tomography in an Al-Mg alloy, a carbon steel and Armco\trademark Fe processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD). In the non-deformed state, the GBs of the aluminium alloy are Mg…

The material properties of polycrystals are strongly affected by the evolution and coarsening of their internal grain structures. Yet, studying this process is challenging due to the complex interactions within grain boundary networks.…

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 defects - cannot be free of curvature. This implies…

We investigate single Ge and Ag impurities buried below a Cu(100) surface using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The interference patterns in the local density of states are surface scattering signatures of the bulk…

While it is known that alloy components can segregate to grain boundaries (GBs), and that the atomic mobility in GBs greatly exceeds the atomic mobility in the lattice, little is known about the effect of GB segregation on GB diffusion.…

Solid solution addition and grain boundary segregation have been independently shown to enhance the strength of nanocrystalline alloys. In the present study, the synergy between these two effects is investigated in nanocrystalline Ni-Cr-Y…

Solute segregation in materials with grain boundaries (GBs) has emerged as a popular method to thermodynamically stabilize nanocrystalline structures. However, the impact of varied GB crystallographic character on solute segregation has…

Thermal dust polarization is a powerful tool to probe magnetic fields ($\textbf{B}$) and grain properties. However, a systematic study of the dependence of dust polarization on grain properties in protostellar environments is not yet…

Segregation of impurities to grain boundaries plays an important role in both the stability and macroscopic behavior of polycrystalline materials. The research objective in this work is to better characterize the energetics and length…

Dislocation dynamics simulation is used to investigate the effect of grain size and grain shape on the flow stress in model copper grains. We consider grains of 1.25-10 $\mu$m size, three orientations (<135>, <100> and <111>) and three…

Grain boundaries play a critical role in applications of superconducting Nb$_3$Sn: in dc applications, grain boundaries preserve the material's inherently high critical current density by pinning flux, while in ac applications grain…

Ripples or corrugations are common phenomena observed in unpaved roads in less developed countries or regions. They cause several damages in vehicles leading to increased maintenance and product costs. In this paper, we present a…

We study the crystallization of a colloidal model system in presence of secondary nanoparticles acting as impurities. Using confocal microscopy, we show that the nanoparticles segregate in the grain boundaries of the colloidal polycrystal.…

This work investigates how grain boundaries (GBs) modify magnetic exchange interactions in bcc iron, with particular focus on the effect of phosphorus segregation. Using density-functional theory combined with the…

Structural, cohesive, and magnetic properties of two symmetric $\Sigma3(111)$ and $\Sigma5(210)$ tilt grain boundaries (GBs) in pure bcc Fe and in dilute FeCr alloys are studied from first principles. Different concentration and position of…

Density functional theory was applied to study influence of the isolated impurity located on the regular site of the alpha-Fe crystal on the charge and spin density (hyperfine interactions) on the iron nucleus. Calculations were performed…

Grain boundaries have been shown to dramatically influence the behavior of relatively simple materials such as monatomic metals and binary alloys. The increased chemical complexity associated with multi-principal element alloys is…

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…
