Grain boundary order-disorder transitions
The conditions for grain boundary (GB) structural transitions are determined from a diffuse interface model that incorporates structural disorder and crystallographic orientation. A graphical construction and numerical calculations illustrate the existence of a first-order GB order–disorder transition below the bulk melting point. When thermodynamic conditions permit their existence, disordered...
متن کاملTopological Analysis of the Grain Boundary Space
Grain boundaries and their networks have a profound influence on the functional and structural properties of every class of polycrystalline materials and play a critical role in structural evolution and phase transformations. Recent experimental advances enable a full crystallographic characterization, including the boundary misorientation and inclination parameters, of grain boundaries. Despit...
متن کاملTopological Aspects of Phase Transitions
In the past decade and a half, an alternative analysis of phase transitions, based in the topological behavior of system configuration spaces, has been introduced. This method offers a new understanding of many phase transitions, particularly those in finite systems, using topology and manifold behavior. While the broadest hypotheses offered by researchers have proven overly optimistic, the met...
متن کاملEffect of Grain-Boundary Phase
Two types of hot-pressed silicon nitride, one having an amorphous grain-boundary phase (6 wt% yttria, 3 wt% alumina) and the other having a predominantly crystalline grain-boundary phase (8 wt% yttria, 1 wt% alumina), were tested on a split Hopkinson pressure bar with a momentum trap, such that, in each test, the sample was subjected to a single predefined stress pulse and then recovered withou...
متن کاملCalorimetric Study of Phase Transitions Involving Twist-Grain-Boundary TGB A and TGB C Phases
High-resolution calorimetry has been used to determine the heat capacity and latent heat associated with phase transitions in the homologous series of chiral liquid crystals nF2BTFOIM7 (3-fluoro-4(1-methylheptyloxy)4'-(4"-alkoxy-2",3"-difluorobenzoyloxy)tolane]. These compounds exhibit smectic-C* (SmC*), twist-grain-boundary (TGBA for n = 10, TGBC for n = ii, 12) and cholesteric (N*) phases. Al...
