The mechanisms of diffusion and segregation of carbon from a solid carbon-based film,
through a nickel film catalyst, was investigated using in situ, time-and depth-resolved X-ray …

The structural evolution of a Ag–Cu/AlN nano-multilayer (NML), as prepared by magnetron-
sputtering on a α-Al2O3 substrate, was monitored during fast heating by real-time in situ …

Sulphur grain boundary segregation during hot-compression of nickel (5.4 wt. ppm S) is
monitored using Auger electron spectroscopy and wavelength dispersive X-ray …

From the Ag and Cu Auger signals measured on the surface of nanocrystalline Cu/Ag thin
bilayers, the temperature dependence of the parameter ω′ for Ag grain-boundary diffusion …

The equilibrium surface segregation of Ag to the low‐index surfaces of Cu single crystals is
presented. It is found that the close‐packed surface of the (111) orientation allows a high …

A general theoretical analysis of the effect of film thickness on equilibrium and kinetic
surface segregation in binary alloy thin films is presented. In this analysis, a constrained …

The thermodynamic extremal principle has been used by the authors to treat the evolution of
binary and multicomponent systems under the assumption that all phases are nearly …

The finite element software Comsol is used to simulate surface or grain boundary
segregation in dilute alloys. The model computes simultaneously the evolution of interfacial …

The adsorption of silicon on Ag (110) forms long nano-ribbons, with very few atomic defects,
perfectly aligned along the ̄ 1 1¯ 10 direction of the Ag surface and all with the same width …

Surface segregation of sulphur on heavily cold rolled nickel is examined during recovery
using in-situ Auger Electron Spectroscopy. An unexpected incubation period immediately …
