Phase field crystal study of symmetric tilt grain boundaries of iron
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the phase field crystal model to study the structure and energy of symmetric tilt grain boundaries of bcc iron in 3D. The parameters for the model are obtained by using a recently developed eight-order fitting scheme [A. Jaatinen et al., (2009)]. The grain boundary free energies we obtain from the model are in good agreement with previous results from molecular dynamics simulations and experiments.

Self-generated magnetic flux in YBa2Cu3O7Àx grain boundaries
Grain boundaries in high-Tc cuprates are interesting and important for both fundamental physics and applications of high-temperature superconductivity. Conventional models of strongly coupled Josephson junctions are applicable to describe electromagnetic properties of grain boundaries in thin films of high-Tc superconductors. 4,5 A remarkable exception of this rule is the @001#-tilt boundary in...
متن کاملTilt grain boundaries in a diblock copolymer ordered nanocomposite lamellar phase.
A hybrid self-consistent field theory/density functional theory method is applied to predict tilt (kink) grain boundary structures between lamellar domains of a symmetric diblock copolymer with added spherical nanoparticles. Structures consistent with experimental observations are found and theoretical evidence is provided in support of a hypothesis regarding the positioning of nanoparticles. S...

We examine the influence of different forms of the free-energy functionals used in the phase-field-crystal (PFC) model, and compare them with the second-order density-functional theory (DFT) of freezing, by using bcc iron as an example case. We show that there are large differences between the PFC and the DFT and it is difficult to obtain reasonable parameters for existing PFC models directly f...
متن کاملDistribution of Grain Boundaries in Aluminum as a Function of Five Macroscopic Parameters
The grain boundary character distribution in commercially pure Al has been measured as a function of lattice misorientation and boundary plane orientation. The results demonstrate a tendency to terminate grain boundaries on low index planes with relatively low surface energies and large interplanar spacings. The most frequently observed grain boundary plane orientation is (111). However, there ...
