Effect of Cu and Ag solute segregation on bSn grain boundary diffusivity
We investigate the effect of various amounts of Ag and Cu solute atoms on the self-diffusivity of Sn in the (101) symmetric tilt bSn grain boundary. Using molecular dynamics simulations over a temperature range of 300 K to 450 K, we show that both Ag and Cu decrease the grain boundary self-diffusivity of Sn as the amount of solute in the interface increases. Additionally, the presence of Ag at ...
متن کاملEffect of Ni solute on grain boundary diffusivity and structure of bSn
The effect of Ni impurity on the self-diffusivity of bSn in the (1 0 1) symmetric tilt grain boundary is investigated. Using molecular dynamics simulations over a temperature range of 300–450 K. It is shown that Ni solute decreases the grain boundary self-diffusivity of bSn as the amount of solute in grain boundary increases. We also study the solute effect on the diffusive width of grain bound...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics studies of irradiation effects on hydrogen isotope diffusion through nickel crystals and grain boundaries.
Experiments indicated that tritium permeation in 316 austenitic stainless steel is enhanced by a factor of ∼2-5 after irradiation as compared to the ex-reactor results. To understand this enhancement, we have performed extensive molecular dynamics simulations to study the effects of both the grain boundary structure (Σ3{111}, Σ5{100} and Σ11{311}) and the nature of point defects (vacancy, inter...
متن کاملGrain boundary energy and grain growth in Al films: Comparison of experiments and simulations
Relative free energies of h111i tilt boundaries in 1.7-lm-thick Al films were compared with boundary enthalpies obtained via molecular dynamics simulations. Grain growth studies in 25 and 100-nm-thick Al films were compared with simulations. The sources of the differences between experimental and simulational results are discussed. 2005 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights...
متن کاملInfluences of Small-Scale Effect and Boundary Conditions on the Free Vibration of Nano-Plates: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
This paper addresses the influence of boundary conditions and small-scale effect on the free vibration of nano-plates using molecular dynamics (MD) and nonlocal elasticity theory. Based on the MD simulations, Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is used to obtain fundamental frequencies of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) which modeled in this paper as the mo...
