Universal Trend in the dynamic relaxations of tilted metastable grain boundaries during ultrafast thermal cycle

Nonequilibrium relaxations in a multiplicity of tilted grain boundaries (GBs) subjected to ultrafast thermal driving forces are investigated by atomistic modeling. By scrutinizing the intermediate metastable microstates and their assessable activation barriers in the underlying energy landscape, we...
