A synergetic grain growth mechanism uniting nanograin rotation and grain boundary migration in nanocrystalline materials

A theoretical model has been developed to analyze the energetic characteristic of a cooperative grain growth process in nanocrystalline materials. We proposed that the process can be realized by rotating the adjoining grains first and then migrating the boundary that separates the grains, or vise ve...
