Equilibrium grain boundary segregation and clustering of impurities in colloidal polycrystalline monolayers
We investigate the segregation of impurities to grain boundaries in colloidal polycrystalline monolayers using video-microscopy. A model colloidal alloy is prepared by embedding large spherical impurities in a polycrystalline monolayer of small host colloidal hard spheres, which stops grain growth a...
