First-Principles Study on Structure and Stability of GP Zones in Al-Mg-Si(-Cu) Alloy

Nanostructured Guinier–Preston (GP) zones are critical for the strength of Al-Mg-Si(-Cu) aluminum alloys. However, there are controversial reports about the structure and growth mechanism of GP zones. In this study, we construct several atomic configurations of GP zones according to the previous res...
