We apply the semi-grand-canonical Monte Carlo method with an embedded-atom potential to study grain boundary (GB) premelting in Cu-rich Cu-Ag alloys. The R5 GB chosen for this study becomes increasingly disordered near the solidus line while its local chemical composition approaches the liquidus com

AbstractΓGrain-boundary segregation is a necessary, but not always sucient, criterion for intergranular embrittlement of many metals and alloys. The reason why certain segregants induce embrittlement while others are harmless remains unclear, but it has been theorized that segregation may be respons
The local density of states (LDOS) of electrons at grain boundaries of iron with or flout segregation ~h~ho~ or boron) was calculated. The grain boundary structures constructed by using empirical atomic pair potentials were used as the model systems. The hopping integrals were calculated by using th
Using Monte Carlo simulations, new insights into the atomic segregation of lead (Pb) impurities to a 5 1 0 0 {2 1 0} tilt aluminum (Al) grain boundary have been obtained. Interatomic interactions in the Al-Pb alloy system were described using a modified embedded atom method potential with parameters
