Books by Keyword: Grain Boundary Structure

Description: The phenomena of grain boundary diffusion and grain boundary segregation play major roles in determining the properties and behavior of a wide variety of materials. Even though the basic principles have been known for a long time, the field continues to yield a number of very challenging questions.

Description: Grain Growth is one of the most fundamental microstructural changes, and occurs in all types of polycrystalline material. It is of major scientific interest, and of great importance in a wide range of industrial applications.

Description: This publication focuses on the structural and chemical characterization of interfaces and their kinetic, mechanical and electrical properties. The size of the volume, consisting of almost 200 papers and over 900 pages, reflects the great current interest in the field.

Description: The term "interface" means different things structurally, according to the materials involved and their thermal and mechanical history. Moreover, an adequate description of an interface may vary considerably, according to the property being related to it.

Description: The volumes present investigations on grain growth phenomena and their observation in various materials: metals and alloys, ceramics, sintered materials, thin films, etc.; normal and abnormal grain growth including twinning, texture, particle and other drag effects as well as analysis of topological aspects and grain size and grain orientation correlations; grain boundary structure, mobility and interaction with particles and impurity atoms. Experimental methods applicable to measurements of grain size, orientation of individual grains, etc.
