Thermodynamics of stable nanocrystalline alloys: A Monte Carlo analysis

A Monte Carlo simulation method is used to study the energetics and configuration of binary alloys when grain boundary states are included as potential equilibrium features. For certain sets of alloy properties, a nanostructured grain assembly is found to be the most energetically favorable state, a...
