Grain boundary (GB) migration plays an important role in modifying the microstructures and
the related properties of polycrystalline materials, and is governed by the atomistic …

Complex environments in advanced manufacturing usually involve ultrafast laser or ion
irradiation which leads to rapid heating and cooling and drives grain boundaries (GBs) to …

A major goal of materials science is to create new engineering materials and optimize their
cost and performance. Understanding how adjacent materials behave at their borders is an …

Grain boundaries (GBs) play a crucial role in the mechanical behaviors of nanocrystalline
materials. The dynamics of GBs depend on a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors …

The objective of this research is to use atomistic simulations to investigate the energy and
structure of symmetric and asymmetric Σ3⟨ 110⟩ tilt grain boundaries. A nonlinear …

Grain boundary (GB) migration was dynamically observed and characterized by means of in
situ transmission electron microscopy straining experiments at moderate temperature in …

Observations of microstructural coarsening at cryogenic temperatures, as well as numerous
simulations of grain boundary motion that show faster migration at low temperature than at …

Classical theories of grain growth assume that grain boundary curvature and velocity are
linearly correlated. However, recent experimental observations seem to imply that the …

Grain boundary-mediated plasticity is now a well-established phenomenon, especially in
fine-grained or nanocrystalline metals. It has been described in several models, but most of …

Recent experimental and computational studies have produced two large grain boundary
energy data sets for Ni. Using these results, we perform the first large-scale comparison …
