This paper reviews findings on the anisotropy of the grain boundary energies. After
introducing the basic concepts, there is a discussion of fundamental models used to …

Grain boundaries are the interfaces between differently oriented crystals of the same
material. The underlying structures of grain boundary play a significant role in mechanical …

Single-crystal metals have distinctive properties owing to the absence of grain boundaries
and strong anisotropy. Commercial single-crystal metals are usually synthesized by bulk …

Expanded and revised to cover developments in the field over the past 17 years, and now
reprinted to correct errors in the prior printing, Phase Transformation in Metals and Alloys …

Grain refinement into the nanoscale greatly hardens metals and alloys but reduces the
stability. By means of cryogenic plastic deformation at very high strain rates, a high …

The energies of a set of 388 distinct grain boundaries have been calculated based on
embedded-atom method interatomic potentials for Ni and Al. The boundaries considered are …

Atomic-level modeling of materials provides fundamental insights into phase stability,
structure and properties of crystalline defects, and to physical mechanisms of many …

Conventional models for grain growth are based on the assumption that grain boundary
(GB) velocity is proportional to GB mean curvature. We demonstrate via a series of …

The energetics and length scales associated with the interaction between point defects
(vacancies and self-interstitial atoms) and grain boundaries in bcc Fe was explored …

Symmetric and asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu and Al were generated using
molecular statics energy minimization in a classical molecular dynamics code with in-plane …
