LATTICE EXPANSION AND GRAIN BOUNDARY EXCESS VOLUME OF NANOCRYSTALLINE Se PREPARED BY MECHANICAL MILLING
Lattice constant is one of the most principle crystal parameters, which critically determines physical, chemical, mechanical and thermodynamic, and other properties. Conversely, material properties could be tuned for specific applications by tailoring the lattice constants. Practically, the lattice constants were modified by controlling surface/boundary/interface, lattice solute/defect and exte...
متن کاملCalculation of Free Volume in Computer Generated Grain Boundaries
The reduction of the grain size down to the nm regime has opened new and fascinating avenues for research in several aspects of materials science, including mechanical properties. In recent years large efforts, both experimental and computational, have been made to understand the deformation mechanisms at the nanoscale. Computer simulations suggest both grain boundary accommodation mechanisms a...
متن کاملSpecial Grain Boundaries in Ultrafine-Grained Tungsten
Field ion microscopy and computer simulation were used for the study of an atomic structure high-angle grain boundary in hard-drawn ultrafine-grained tungsten wire. These boundaries with special misorientations are beyond the scope of the coincident site lattice model. It was demonstrated that the special non-coincident grain boundaries are the plane-matching boundaries, and rigid-body displace...
متن کاملIn-situ measurements of grain rotation during annealing in ultrafine grained aluminum alloy
We present the results of in-situ studies of evolution of grain boundary misorientations in ultrafine grained (UFG) aluminum alloy Al-4 Cu-0.5 Zr (wt%) during annealing. The structure of the UFG alloy was obtained by severe plastic deformation method. Misorientations between the grains were measured using single reflection technique. It was found that relaxation processes during annealing are a...
متن کاملInteraction of vacancies with a grain boundary in aluminum: A first-principles study
We present a theoretical study of the interaction of vacancies with a tilt grain boundary in aluminum based on the density functional theory. The grain boundary volume expansion and vacancy induced contraction are calculated and compared for the nearest-neighbor atoms, and the former is found to be smaller than the latter. The formation energy of a vacancy placed at various layers in the grain ...
