Papers by Keyword: Atomic Complexes in Grain Boundary

Abstract: Thermodynamics of the atomic complexes formation in a grain boundary (GB) is discussed applying to AB complex. It is shown that the AB complex formation leads to the nonlinearity of segregation isothermes. Consequently, the concentration profiles for GB diffusion are nonlinear. The total (free and bound into complexes) concentration of diffusant B decreases at the given depth as the molar fraction of the complexes increases.
