Grain boundary segregation and thermodynamically stable binary nanocrystalline alloys

A free-energy function for binary polycrystalline solid solutions is developed based on pairwise nearest-neighbor interactions. The model permits intergranular regions to exhibit unique energetics and compositions from grain interiors, under the assumption of random site occupation in each region. F...
