Grain boundary (GB) energy is a fundamental property that affects the form of grain boundary and plays an important role to unveil the behavior of polycrystalline materials. With a better understanding of grain boundary energy distribution…
In order to control the grain structure of multi-crystalline (mc) silicon during directional solidification, the development process of grain boundaries (GBs) with respect to the temperature gradient should be understood. A phase-field…
A multi-phase field model is employed to study the microstructural evolution of an alloy undergoing liquid dealloying. The model proposed extends upon the original approach of Geslin et al. to consider dealloying in the presence of grain…
Grain boundaries (GBs) can be treated as two-dimensional (2-D) interfacial phases (also called 'complexions') that can undergo interfacial phase-like transitions. As bulk phase diagrams and calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) methods are…

Previous research focused on two different mechanisms of microstructure stabilization in alloys: thermodynamic stabilization by reducing the grain boundary (GB) free energy and kinetic stabilization by suppressing the GB mobility by solute…
Pinning-type magnets maintaining high coercivity, i.e. the ability to sustain magnetization, at high temperature are at the core of thriving clean-energy technologies. Among these, Sm2Co17-based magnets are excellent candidates owing to…

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…

The ionic conductivity at the grain boundaries (GBs) in oxide ceramics is typically several orders of magnitude lower than that within the grain interior. This detrimental GB effect is the main bottleneck for designing high-performance…
Nanoindentation is a convenient method to investigate the mechanical properties of materials on small scales by utilizing low loads and small indentation depths. However, the effect of grain boundaries (GB) on the nanoindentation response…
The microstructural evolution at and near pre-existing grain boundaries (GBs) and dislocations in materials under high radiation doses is still poorly understood. In this work, we use the creation relaxation algorithm (CRA) developed for…
