Grain boundary solute absorption is linked to structural order-disorder changes. This study predicts first-order transitions using thermodynamic analysis and binary alloy calculations, matching experimental data.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Thermodynamics
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Grain boundaries significantly influence material properties.
  • Solute segregation at grain boundaries is a critical phenomenon.
  • Understanding structure-property relationships at interfaces is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a thermodynamic diffuse interface model for solute absorption at grain boundaries.
  • To investigate the coupling between solute absorption and structural order-disorder transitions.
  • To predict first-order grain boundary transitions based on crystallographic and material parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Thermodynamic diffuse interface analysis.
  • First-principles calculations for a symmetric binary alloy.
