Grain boundary migration in alloy systems is a fundamental phenomenon governing microstructural evolution and mechanical performance in metals and alloys. At interfaces between crystallites, grain ...

Polycrystalline metals are aggregates of crystallites separated by grain boundaries, two-dimensional defects that profoundly influence mechanical strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and ...

Large metal surfaces coated with precisely formed nanostructures have so far remained in the realm of fantasy. The obstacle standing in the way of their production seemed fundamental, as it resulted ...
