Duplex nanocrystalline alloys: Entropic nanostructure stabilization and a case study on W–Cr

Grain boundary (GB) segregation can markedly improve the stability of nanostructured alloys, where the fraction of GB sites is inherently large. Here, we explore the concept of entropically supported GB segregation in alloys with a tendency to phase-separate and its role in stabilizing nanostructure...
