Grain boundaries can undergo phase-like transitions, called complexion transitions, in
which their structure, composition, and properties change discontinuously as temperature …

This paper reviews the fundamental concepts and the terminology of wetting. In particular, it
focuses on high temperature wetting phenomena of primary interest to materials scientists …

The theory of grain boundary (the interface between crystallites, GB) structure has a long
history and the concept of GBs undergoing phase transformations was proposed 50 years …

Structural transformations at interfaces are of profound fundamental interest as complex
examples of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. Despite decades of extensive …

The study of grain boundary phase transitions is an emerging field until recently dominated
by experiments. The major bottleneck in the exploration of this phenomenon with atomistic …

Grain-boundary (GB) structure and properties are usually analyzed in terms of ground-state
(minimum-energy) GB states. However, global equilibrium is rarely achieved in materials. In …

The phase behavior of grain boundaries can have a strong influence on interfacial
properties. Little is known about the emergence of grain boundary phases in elemental …

We report a computational discovery of novel grain boundary structures and multiple grain
boundary phases in elemental body-centered cubic (bcc) metals represented by tungsten …

Two approaches in materials physics have proven immensely successful in alloy design:
First, thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions for tailoring and processing alloys to achieve a …

The α/β interface is central to the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium
alloys. We investigate the structure, thermodynamics and migration of the coherent and …
