The importance of stress and strain effects on surface physics are reviewed. For this purpose
the following points are developed.(1) The elastic, thermodynamics and atomistic definitions …

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 purpose of this article is to review analytical models of the anisotropy of segregation to
grain boundaries (GBs) and surfaces, and to evaluate their predictions. A summary of …

Phase diagrams are the roadmaps for designing bulk phases. Similar to bulk, grain
boundaries can possess various phases, but their phase diagrams remain largely unknown …

The abbreviation “nano-Calphad” stands for “Calculation of Phase Diagrams for nano-
systems.” Nano-systems contain at least one phase or at least one interface layer (film …

This book reviews recent achievements in the field of thermophysical property
measurements of liquid multicomponent alloys. The work is centered on the question of …

Multi-principal element solid solutions are prone to develop local chemical inhomogeneities,
eg, chemical order/clustering and/or compositional undulation. To model the structural …

The microstructure of binary Al 100− x–Mg x (x= 10, 15, 18 and 25 wt%) alloys after long
anneals (600–4000 h) was studied between 210 and 440° C. The transition from incomplete …

Al-Ti-based alloys are of enormous technical relevance due to their specific properties. For
studies in atomic dynamics, surface physics and industrial processing the precise …

The microstructure of binary Al–10 at% Zn and Al–15 at% Zn alloys after long anneals (800–
4000 h) was studied between 190 and 258° C. The contact angles between (Zn) particles …
